Roalh Doalh vs Ray Bradbury

The Finger Chop Bet

In the masterpiece story of Roalh Dalh the man from the south our compulsive bettor Carlos is in a beach hotel and he see some teens playing in the water. he sit in a table withthe narrator. He then star to talk to the one of the teens and his girlfriend, he wants to bet the american teen. They then star to arrange the bet they bet a green car  or a pinky finger. The american say that his lighter will light 10 times in a row and if it does Carlos will give him a green car but if he fails Carlos will chop his finger. They got on the way to Carlos room, wile Ask and hotel employ for a chair a chopping knife, and a rope. While this the narrator is going also to the room because he is the referee. The americans girfriend trys to stop the american for star the bet but he is convince he will win. Carlos stars to tied the american to the chair the it star. The amercan got to 8 times lighted but a women appers in the room and stop the bet, then we discover she is Carlos. She told us that he has lost all in bets and the car is not even of him.

 

I love Roahl Dalh because he has the ability to transmite very awesomly imagery and characterization.For example:

It was a fine garden with lawns and beds of azaleas and tall coconut palms, and the wind was blowing strongly through the tops of the palm trees making the leaves hiss and crackle as though they were on fire. I could see the clusters of big brown nuts handing down underneath the leaves.

I Also like the way he adds supspence to hook you to the storie                            For example: 

"The little man carefully removed the red band from his still unlighted cigar. "I never ask you, my friend, to bet something you cannot afford. You understand?" "Then what do I bet?""I make it very easy for you, yes?""Okay. You make it easy.""Some small ting you can afford to give away, and if you did happen to lose it you would not feel too bad. Right?" "Such as what?""Such as, perhaps, de little finger of your left hand."
