Excerpt from Plugged In, but Tuned Out: The Evil Influence of Ear Buds

I. Invasion of the Body Snatchers:
Have you noticed a change in the world around you recently? Have you seen how more and more people are walking around with little rectangles in their hands or pockets with long wires plugged straight into their ears? At the grocery store yesterday, I counted at least twenty people completely lost in the music provided by their ever-present cell phones. It’s as if the old science-fiction movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers was coming true; we are being overtaken by pod people. So at the risk of appearing to be a crotchety old man complaining about the “good ole days,” I have to make a stance against the evil influences of the cell phone and ear-bud phenomena on our society.

Fine fellow, that lebrun," said arobin when robert had gone. "i never heard you speak of him.""i knew him last summer at grand isle," she replied. what becomes apparent during this conversation? robert and arobin are both aware they are rivals for edna’s affections. arobin is unaware of robert’s role in edna’s life, but robert is aware of arobin’s role. robert is completely unaware of arobin’s romantic intentions and love for edna. robert has much more confidence in himself than arobin does.
