However, at the same time, a period of life has passed, which makes one sad when he thinks something will never come back. It is not silly to feel a certain regret, for when one gets something, he may meanwhile have lost something else. Many things really begin at the age of twenty, and certainly all is not over then. One begins to see more and more clearly that life is only a kind of sowing time, and the harvest is still far away.ScriptBook 3-Unit 2A City of ChurchesBook 3-Unit 2The author The author was a famous writer belonging to Black Humor. Black Humor, which is an important school of the literary area, is so called Gloomy Humor or the Humor at the Eve of Disaster They artistically exaggerated and colored the ugly, twisted, cruel, dark characters and events that they witnessed in the American society, even around their daily life to make those things ridicules, and then laughed at them with a dramatic way of humor. The story is shallow in plot but deep in sarcasm of despicable behavior and vanity of the upper class.
