Button, Button

 

I read “Button, Button” written by Richard Matheson, The conflict of this story is External conflict, and this story is telling a story of a men tell Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis there is a button if you pressed it you will get 50000$ but someone in the world you don’t know will die, then Arthur and Lewis started having a discussion about press is or don’t press it. After the discussion (Haven’t decide press or not yet) Lewis pressed the button by herself. Later she got a call from the hospital saying that Author was pushed from the platform in front of the train, after she remembered that Author bought a 25000$ Life insurance policy and when he has an Accident will be double of 50000$.After Lewis took a phone call and asked Mr. Steward why is author you told me its someone I don’t know, do you really know your husband said Mr. Steward. My ideas Starts from getting the box to the 50000$ offer and to the last sentence of the story. The 1-3 sentence explained the main character of this story, 4-6 tells the wondering and the afraid off this mysterious button, 7-9 telling there is an offer with 50000$ and it’s about ‘Murdering’ someone 10-11 feel ridicules but still pressed the button (Mrs. Lewis) 12-15 a place takes a call to Mrs. Lewis about Arthur got to an accident and got 50000$ because the Life-Insurance double from the 25000$, when she opens the box nothing is inside after she taken a call to Mr. Steward, Mr. Steward asked Mrs. Lewis do you really know your husband?
