Read "The Patient Cat" by Laura E. Richards below and answer the question that follows.

When the spotted cat first found the nest, there was nothing in it, for it was only just finished. So she said, "I will wait!" for she was a patient cat, and the summer was before her. She waited a week, and then she climbed up again to the top of the tree, and peeped into the nest. There lay two lovely blue eggs, smooth and shining.

The spotted cat said, "Eggs may be good, but young birds are better. I will wait." So she waited; and while she was waiting, she caught mice and rats, and washed herself and slept, and did all that a spotted cat should do to pass the time away.

When another week had passed, she climbed the tree again and peeped into the nest. This time there were five eggs. But the spotted cat said again, "Eggs may be good, but young birds are better. I will wait a little longer!"
So she waited a little longer and then went up again to look. Ah! there were five tiny birds, with big eyes and long necks, and yellow beaks wide open. Then the spotted cat sat down on the branch, and licked her nose and purred, for she was very happy. "It is worthwhile to be patient!" she said.

But when she looked again at the young birds, to see which one she should take first, she saw that they were very thin,—oh, very, very thin they were! The spotted cat had never seen anything so thin in her life.

"Now," she said to herself, "if I were to wait only a few days longer, they would grow fat. Thin birds may be good, but fat birds are much better. I will wait!"

So she waited; and she watched the father-bird bringing worms all day long to the nest, and said, "Aha! they must be fattening fast! they will soon be as fat as I wish them to be. Aha! what a good thing it is to be patient."

At last, one day she thought, "Surely, now they must be fat enough! I will not wait another day. Aha! how good they will be!"

So she climbed up the tree, licking her chops all the way and thinking of the fat young birds. And when she reached the top and looked into the nest, it was empty!!

Then the spotted cat sat down on the branch and spoke thus, "Well, of all the horrid, mean, ungrateful creatures I ever saw, those birds are the horridest, and the meanest, and the most ungrateful! Mi-a-u-ow!!!!"

The main point that the authors are trying to make by including the interviews of Susan Hamlin and Susan Hamilton is that one person can give different responses depending on how the interviewer did their job.

It is to be noted that Susan Hamlin and Susan Hamilton are the same person. She was interviewed twice by different interviewers.

The variations between Susan Hamlin and Susan Hamilton's interviews must be attributed to the interviewer if they were both Susan Hamlin, as their similar biographical information shows.

Jessie A. Butler was white, as were the vast majority of interviewers working for the Federal Writers' Project.

The Black woman thought she had come from the welfare office when she spoke with Hamlin.

Butler made no attempt to refute this supposition and concealed her genuine objective, which was to document Hamlin's experience as a slave.

London employs irony to emphasize and further illustrate his existential topic. The man goes across the dangerous terrain of the Yukon with "keenly watchful" attention (120). Ironically, the guy "falls through the ice" at a place where there are no "treacherous signs," despite the fact that he is continuously on the lookout for clues to the hidden dangers he desires to avoid (Perry 227). After meticulously lighting a fire, the guy learns even more about the arbitrary and uncaring character of the cosmos when the fire is hilariously extinguished by snow falling just as he is ready to start defrosting his frozen feet. Even with all of his knowledge, King Hendricks finds it ironic that "[the man] is still a helpless prey to natural powers and natural forces" (22). Further pointing out the irony, Hendricks writes, "the dog, surviving just by instinct, without mittens, without earflaps, without a coat, without lunch, and without a fire, survived himself while the man could not survive in the Artic [sic] temperature of 75 degrees below zero" (22). The reader must not be misled by the dog's presence as the man's traveling companion in order to maintain the existential theme of man being alone in an indifferent universe; instead, the reader must recognize the dog for what it truly is—another manifestation of the environment's apathy and indifference. The dog cannot be viewed as a kin who shares the protagonist's lonely, miserable existence since it is not a sentient entity like man and hence cannot be considered a kindred spirit. London draws the reader's attention to the merciless indifference of nature and, in turn, the existential topic of man living alone in an unpredictable and destructive environment by adding irony to the story's key elements.
