It informs the reader that he is a very lonely man and that he misses the old times with his family and friends. "Below him, in the town among the trees, Where friends of other days had honored him," (Robinson 21-22) 

Actions-"Then as a mother lays her sleeping child down tenderly, fearing it may wake, he set the jug down slowly at his feet" (Robinson 25-27) In this instance, Mr. Floods actions demonstrate that he is a big drinker. This lets the reader know just how lonely and unhappy Mr. Flood may be. He has turned to alcohol for enjoyment and happiness.

The jug is very important to Mr. Flood since he has nobody left. 

-"Secure, with only two moons listening" (Robinson 57) / Personification is used here to show that Mr. Flood is seeing 2 moons due to him being drunk. The moon appears as a duplicate due to his blurry vision.]]> 2018-04-30 05:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_12506/ha7zmkf5m61w/wish/256403351 connor_12506 https://padlet.com/connor_12506/ha7zmkf5m61w/wish/256403409 Mr. Flood is very discontent. He is sad because he has outlived all his friends and family. "Again he raised the jug up to the light; And with an acquiescent quaver said: Well Mr. Flood, if you insist, I might." (Robinson 38-40) This shows the reader that Mr. Flood is so lonely that he actually has conversations with himself. He thinks of his family and friends often and how the village used to be. ]]> 2018-04-30 05:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_12506/ha7zmkf5m61w/wish/256403409 connor_12506 https://padlet.com/connor_12506/ha7zmkf5m61w/wish/256403473 Mr. Flood and Willy Loman both have very much in common. Both of these protagonists are very old. They have outlived their time and have not adapted well to the current generations. "Cause I get so lonely- especially when business is bad and there's nobody to talk to." Willy says in Death of a Salesman. Willy also speaks to himself just like Mr. Flood. They are both very lonely and quickly getting older. The two do differ although, because Willy has attempted to take his own life. ]]> 2018-04-30 05:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_12506/ha7zmkf5m61w/wish/256403473
