Certainly, Christmas is a time of giving and sharing with those around us but that sharing is not limited to those that we love and care for. It is also for the person that we have never met and will never see; those that are not so fortunate in their lives as we are and that could use a helping hand. The question is, could bad and good actions equal each other?
”Merry Christmas, son. I trampled a man to death to buy you this LeapPad Ultra Tablet” could be classified as a kind of dramatic monologue. Then a single person, who is patently not the narrator, utters the speech that makes up the whole of the story, in a specific situation at a critical moment. The main principle of the narrator’s choice and formulation of what he says is to reveal to the reader, in a way that enhances its interest, the speaker's temperament and character. The structure is simple but contains countless underlying views on the topic. Choosing this genre makes a controversial outcome to the reader, which could be analyzed in a thousand different ways.
The writer, Jeremiah Tucker writes for various online magazines, among others a magazine called Real World Survivor. Many of Tucker's articles could be labeled "New Pioneer" as they cover topics like old-fashioned butcher shops, biological farming, building your own energy-efficient hut, water supply, timber, global poverty, being self-reliant, etc. When you think of this reading Tucker's short story about buying Christmas presents on Black Friday, it may seem like a total contrast at first sight. If you look at the LeapPad Ultra Tablet as an example of one of the materialistic things everyone is blindly fighting for just to gain extra status in everyday life, it immediately makes more sense in Tucker’s universe.
