Did Proposition Joe set Marlo up at the poker game?
>>> I think yes, Prop Joe was setting up Marlo. Joe could have given Omar a different target if he wanted to. I’m sure Joe knew all the poker game players. Nobody mentions Marlo during the setup.From the 4th episode of the 4th season of The Wire “Refugees”Omar: What up, Butch?Prop Joe: How do we begin?Omar: You the one called the meet. Why don't we begin by you respecting my time and getting to it.Prop Joe: First of all, I heard you may be under the impression I was somehow involved with the late Mr. Bell In his play against you with brother Mouzone. I was no way involved. Stringer came at me to set up the parley with you. He used me like he used y'all, I feel the need to say.Omar: It's said then. Tip out on it.Prop Joe: Businessman such as myself does not believe in bad blood with a man such as yourself. Disturbs the sleep.Omar: Oh, I bet it do.Prop Joe: By way of amends, a proposition.I know of a card game on the West side. High rollers, lots of cash money. Boxcar-sized.Omar: You trying to set me up, Joe?Prop Joe: You ever known me to be stupid? I'm trying to make things right here with you.Omar: How much we talking about?Prop Joe: If there ain't at least a few hundred k in that room, I wish myself blind.Omar: Serious, Joe.Prop Joe: I say again-- have you ever known me to be a stupid man?Omar: What are the strings?Prop Joe: No strings.Omar: What's your cut then?Prop Joe: Quarter of the take.Omar: I scope this and it don't look right, I'm gonna come back on you now, Joe.Read more: The Wire s04e04 Episode Script | SS
What was your impression while you met with your GF for the first time?
So when I met her for the first time I was like:Holy shit she is beautiful. Why am I talking to her?Oh she’s the one who initiated conversation. Not me.Lord Jesus if she is my girlfriend that’d be nice. But she’s out of my league anyway.Wow she��s had a tough life. Wonder how I can help. She’s a brave girl.That’s some of the thoughts. It’s not my first impression of her. I guess my first impression of her was that she was nice and friendly.
What are 10 allusions from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad?
An allusion is a reference to something outside of the work itself. It can be to a place, person, famous story, myth, a TV show, etc. For instance, if a friend is going for a college interview and you want to wish him or her luck in a creative way, you might say, "May the Force be with you." That's an allusion to _Star Wars_. Conrad, an extremely intelligent and well-read man, loads his works with allusions! I'll give you two to get you started. (1) "...precious little to eat fit for a civilized man, nothing but Thames water to drink. No Falernian wine here, no going ashore." Falernian wine was THE best wine in ancient times, and was very famous. Roman poets referenced it quite often. Marlow could've said, "Dom Perignon," but "Falernian wine" fits in so well with his whole analogy. (2) He mentions in "Inferno" where men are working. The conditions are terrible, and this allusion gives the impression that their work is more like punishment. "The Inferno" is the first part of Dante's "The Human Comedy" in which Dante tells of the 9 circles of Hell -- how the damned are punished. Not all allusions are proper names -- far from it! -- but when you do see a proper name, or something in another language, look it up to see if it alludes to history, religion, some other written work, etc.
