CHARACTERS: Man-in-rags
Jeb

Stage Set: An empty bus. Jeb is asleep on a seat near the backdoor. His hands are holding on to a backpack. A tour guide booklet is slipping away from his fingers. Faint light passes through the bus window in intervals. Man-in-rags climbs on the bus and sits only a few seats away from Jeb. Man-in-rags creeps toward Jeb and tries to reach for the backpack.

Jeb: (Twitches involuntarily and wakes up) Whoa! (Grabs his backpack tightly and looks up at Man-in-rags in anger) Just what do you think you were doing?
Man-in-rags: A hungry man just wants food.
Jeb: Oh, no. Where did they all go? (Gets up from his seat and looks around) They didn't even wait for me.
Man-in-rags: Every man is always looking for something. (Seems to reach inside his bag for something important and finally takes out a flashlight)
Jeb: Hey, did you see a group of tourists get off this bus?
Man-in-rags: (Turns on the flashlight and points it to Jeb's face) You look a lot like the man that stole my everything.
Jeb: Ha! (aside) Well, I better get off the bus. This man is scaring me. (Gets up to gather his belongings) There's no telling to what is coming.
Man-in-rags: Wait. Who taught you how to say that?
Jeb: Say what?
Man-in-rags: There's no telling.
Jeb: Everybody says that.
Man-in-rags: Not everybody in this part of the world says that.
Jeb: Everybody I know says that.
Man-in-rags: (Moves closer to Jeb and examines his face, his fingers shiver as they reach for Jeb's face) Heavens!
Jeb: This is creeping me out. Please back off, sir. (Heads to the exit door)
Man-in-rags: (Retreats, sinks to a chair, and lets out a moan) Linda! Linda May Lou. Oh, why did I ever leave you?
Jeb: (Turns around and returns to the back door of the bus) How do you know that name? (Sits on his knees and stares at Man-in-rags' face)

Ireally need on this i will name you brainliest if you . mr. frost's book reveals a disease which is eating into the vitals of our new england life, at least in its rural communities. what is there in the hard, vigorous climate of these states which plants the seeds of degeneration? is the violence and ugliness of their religious belief the cause of these twisted and tortured lives? have the sane, full-blooded men all been drafted away to the cities, or the west, leaving behind only feeble remainders of a once fine stock? mr. frost's is not the kindly new england of whittier, nor the humorous and sensible one of lowell; it is a latter-day new england, where a civilization is decaying to give place to another and very different one. based on what you have read in “a servant to servants,” do you agree with lowell’s analysis? cite evidence and examples from the poem to support your response of at least 150 words.
