He now wants to know when Clevinger did not say that he could not be punished. Clevinger quickly rebuts and states, "I always didn't say you couldn't punish me, sir." Finally, the colonel is satisfied with that an ...

... of this that each sub-story, or chapter in the book, is a self sustaining story in itself, more so than most chapter arranged narratives. This book is the first volume in a series, that chronicles the life of a small number of San Francisco residents. With each new chapter there is a personal development for the characters within. It is this sense of development that is most important for the continuity of Tales of the City.

I see Al as being a crucial character later in the novel. He is the kind of person that needs motivation from th ...

... and to prepare us to handle the hardships of life, the experiences of bereavement, loss and grief, at a level that man could never hope to achieve.
