please give at least 5 incidents

Answer 1

George is the second of the "three men" in the novel. He is a bank clerk who works on Saturdays and so joins the boarding trip up the river. It is George's idea to take the river trip. His friends are surprised that he should come up with such a sensible idea. He ha large feet. He sleeps a lot. He is teased by his friends for these characteristics. His tendency to sleep in some times creates funny situations. One night, his watch stops and he wakes up in the middle of the night. He thinks that he is going to be late for work. He bathes, dresses and eats and rushes to the bus stop. But he notices that it is dark outside. Moreover, there is nobody else in the street. He cannot get back to sleep the rest of the night. George buys a banjo for the trip, imagining that he will learn to play it from a book. His friends are skeptical. They do allow him to try and the narrator describes the situation with satiric politeness. In the last section of the novel, it is George who suggests that they should cut the trip short by taking a train home. In short, George is one of the important three characters in the novel. The novel would not be half as interesting without George’s idiosyncrasies.
