The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from One Basket by Edna Ferber: hungry seemed to relax, satisfied. It was his nerves, feeding on
those familiar things for which they had been starving.
He walked up one side and down the other. Crates of lettuce,
bins of onions, barrels of apples. Such vegetables! The
radishes were scarlet globes. Each carrot was a spear of pure
orange. The green and purple of fancy asparagus held his expert
eye. The cauliflower was like a great bouquet, fit for a bride;
the cabbages glowed like jade.
And the men! He hadn't dreamed there were men like that in this
big, shiny-shod, stiffly laundered, white-collared city. Here
were rufous men in overalls--worn, shabby, easy-looking overalls
