i’d like to tell you about a book by a russian novelist, nikolai gogol. it’s called “the government inspector”. it’s a satirical play. i’ve recently read this book in my literature lessons.
let me tell you a bit about this book. the action takes place in a small provincial town. the main character is khlestakov. he’s a young man who is silly and broke. but he’s a very self-loving man. he tells lies with pleasure. khlestakov has careless a fantasy. he arrives in the town and is mistaken for the government inspector.
as you can imagine, the plot is very interesting and funny. the comedy shows human stupidity and greed. also the problems of society are shown there.
1 Jim had a comfortable flat with little two rooms, small kitchen and bathroom.
2 Jim didn't want to clean his flat, so he decided to find someone else to do it instead of him. At the factory Jim was told about Mrs. Roper by his fellow workers. One of the workers said that Mrs. Roper came and cleaned his flat, and he would introduce Jim to her.
3 Jim left a message in the dust that he was coughing whenever he breathed because everything in his room was very dusty.
4 Mrs. Poper left Jim the bottle with message on it: "Cough medicine".
