summary of Life in a cold climate

The article “Life in a cold climate” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself, he tried to prove it that even though the weather of New Hampshire is cold people still love it. The point of the article is to figure out how long he can stay outside with very cold temperature, and how much the people that live in New Hampshire like the weather.

This essay is about Bill Bryson, lives in a cold climate area, and enjoys this time of the year. He always likes to go outside without wearing appropriate outwear to keep warm. He has this unusual routine where he goes to the mail post dressed in summer clothing. Just so he can get his mail, and estimate how long it takes him to stand in the cold temperature. When he came back from the post box one day, and into his house he felt so cold that he half of his whole body was numb. One of the hardest thing about the city he lives in is that temperature goes below zero, in fact the record for New Hampshire was -46F below zero in 1925.

SAMPLE Summary of "A Visit to the Barbershop"

The article “A Visit to the Barbershop” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. The point of the article is to show readers why Bryson hates going to the barbershop so much.

Bryson has very unruly hair. It rarely does what he wants it to in the first place. That, combined with many terrible hair cutting experiences, makes Bryson dread going to the barbershop. He feels powerless when he is at the barbershop; he is at the mercy of a person wielding scissors. The author illustrates his unluckiness and helplessness by explaining a recent hair cutting experience where his hair was cut by a barber-in-training who did not listen to Bryson’s request for just a little trim. Instead, the barber hacked away at his hair carelessly and gave him an embarrassing style. Bryson then mentions how the icing on the cake is having to pay for such a bad haircut and then having to go home to a wife who insults the new hairdo.

Shopping Madness

Summary- Shopping Madness

The summary I am writing about is by Bill Bryson, it’s called Shopping Madness and it’s an article in the book I’m a Strange Here Myself. Bryson thinks that shopping clerks can be pushy, not around, or just not care.

In this article Bill points out that Americans plan their vacations around there shopping plans and that when people want to go visit the Grand Canyon they can go shopping near it too. Bryson talks about how there is retail anthropology, it can show where people are going to shop, how long they will stay, and if they are going to buy an item or walk out. It can also show the best ways to lure shoppers in by the color scheme, music, and the layout. He also said there are three types of stores. The stores where you can never find anyone when you need them, there are stores where there is a sales woman who won’t leave you alone until you try something on or buy it, and then there are stores where the person doesn’t care and will say aisle seven no matter what. In one of his situations his son was looking for a toy and couldn’t find anyone except one kid at the front desk and was piled up with people. When it was finally his turn in line he asked what aisle the toy was in and the kid said aisle seven without looking up. Sure enough the toy was not in aisle seven but in aisle two and it took him ninety minutes to find the toy.
