Question

read A. G. Gardeners essay The open window and compare its theme with essay On saying please ​

Answer 1

Both essays explore the themes of kindness, courtesy, and morality. The writer brings forward various examples to let the readers know of responsibilities while interacting with others.

Explanation:

• A. G. Gardeners uses the example of a liftman who misbehaves with a man and pushes him out of the lift. As a result of which he might face jail time or fines imposed by the police. All of this happened because he could not control his emotions and did not respond to the man with courtesy.

• While, On Saying Please uses the example of a well-mannered bus conductor. He helps everyone regardless of their age. He even allowed the essayist to travel when he had forgotten his money at home. The conductor could have easily kicked him out of the bus but he showed high moral grounds and earned respect in the eyes of the writer.
