The story “One of These Days” is about an unauthorized Dentist and a Mayor who has a swollen tooth ache, visits the Dentist to get rid of the affected tooth. It seems the Dentist does have an internal conflict with the Mayor the way he behaves. Finally, He helps the Mayor by pulling out the painful tooth in his office.
I liked the starting sentence of the story:
“Monday dawned warm and rainless.” Because the author has begun the story in a very dramatic way with this sentence.
“Now you’ll pay for our twenty dead men.” – These words seemed irrelevant to me.
Interpretation:
The Dentist probably has some type of conflict between the Mayor and him. Because, he has not attempted to use the anesthesia, and took out the affected tooth that resulted severe pain to the Mayor.
In practical life, sometimes we either face or create such situation which is similar to the sequence that is mentioned above. We try to make someone suffer either in a good or in a bad way. For instance, while studying on eighth grade, we had a substitute Chemistry teacher-a grouchy young lady. She was always putting us down in eyes of our school’s Principal; she was misusing her power of being a teacher. One day, we punctured her bicycle’s tire, but she was quiet though it was obvious we did it.
