Saint Apollonias Back Teeth - Book Report/Review Example

The stories described in the book were very much imaginative. They were all fiction and the author tried to relate them with the realistic nature of life. In one story magical abilities of Incas were describe and in another, a cook's girlfriend asks him to make a dish of her ex-lover's liver. The interesting one was about the description of Frankenstein in Ancestors of Eniac. Because of the sexual adventures of women described in the story made it more interesting and forced the author to think about the gender of the Benefactor.

ConflictThe author exploited the silence of the Benefactor and used it to fulfill his dreams and lived on B's works. Though the author has great respect towards Mr. B he never tried to find him and selfishly kept all the earnings. Another aspect of this book is why Mr. B remained silent for all those years. After reading the Ancestors of Eniac the author was forced to think about Mr. B's gender.Resolution of ConflictThe author enjoyed every moment of his life. He never earned so much money before.

After years gone and received nothing from Mr. B, he came to the conclusion that Mr. B might have expired. He saw what Mr. B wanted to and enjoyed the life the way Mr. B loved too. But at the corner of his heart, he felt guilty of using others' work by his name. To overcome this guilt he wrote this piece.Overall ThemeThe main theme of this book was how anyone can exploit others' silence.

The author cashed Mr. B's silence to make his dreams come true. First, he was afraid of being caught but as the days passed he became confident. As far as the writer is concerned the author was a thief who lived on the works of Mr. B. Pretending to be a nobleman he wrote this just to gain sympathy from others. The important lesson the writer learned was to never steal anyone's works. Yes, the writer would recommend others to read this book mainly because at the end of the road everyone is chased by their guilt.

Overall ExperienceThis book made the author realize stealing others' works is a big crime. Though Mr. B remained silent the author should have tried to locate him and returned all that belonged to him. As a writer, I know the feeling if someone uses my work without my permission. Reading this novel was a good experience and helps me to stand upon my principles. Overall it was a good experience.
