#2 Difficulties faced by Armand Denis during his search for The Four-Tusked Elephant.

Four-Tusked Elephant's tusks found by Armand Denis


During the search for the four-tusked elephant, Armand Denis had to overcome several difficulties.

After he heard about the four-tusked elephant, no one was willing to help him search the four-tusked elephant. Every time he talked about the existence of the four-tusked elephant, people laughed at him, made fun of his idea.

Though he managed to gather some for people and formed search party and searched for the four-tusked elephant, he had to return empty handed.

He came across lots of hardship. After a year or so, he happened to meet some Finish people and overheard them talking about the four-tusked elephant. It gave him a light of hope and asked them about the four tusked elephant. But things were not on his side.

After after overhearing about the four tusked elephant form the Finish people, he had to meet the "African" guy who was supposed to know about the whereabouts of the Four-Tusked Elephant.
He had to bribe him with things in order to get the elephant skull.

Actually, he was planning to get the elephant skull and see if it fits with the four "golden" tusks. He had to pay more money than usual to the tusks which were not worth of that money.Fitting the tusks with the skull was not a piece of cake.

He had to carry the skull, which was very heavy, in his truck. He had a tough time protecting the skull which was almost swept by the river, and the Hyenas were pain in the back for him.

#8 Discuss any five themes presented in Anton Chekhov's Swan song.

Anton Chekhov Themes are the messages to take home after reading any text. They connect  plot and character to  make a piece of text meaningful. Swan song also consists of themes regarding various aspects of emotions, life lessons and reminiscence. The major five themes that I found intriguing are discussed below: 1. The effect of old age and fear of end   Svetlovidov is an old man with no one to call his family. He is weak and tired. He wants to be nourished and cared but there is no one he can turn to .The effect of old age is that it has diminished his abilities and strength to perform on the stage. Loneliness has made him to feel like he is abandoned by God himself. It is normal for such person to remember and regret his past activities and fear the end that is coming. 2. Influence of society on psychology of  a person  The contemporary society of Russia is clearly presented in this drama including its social acceptance, values and viewpoint o...

Armand Denis indirectly supported animal hunting and poaching. No animals should be hurt during a research . Armand Denis also bribed to collect information. There are two instances where Armand Denis bribed people. He promised Pigneys with Tobacco in order to get information and to convince them to help him in his hunt of elephant king.
