My summary

                                                      My summary of Bartleby the Scrivener

There was a boss/lawyer, Bartleby, Turkey, and Ginger Nut. It describes in the beginning that the author, which is now the boss/lawyer I think, is old and controls Dead Letter Office. So he was looking for someone to hire and Bartleby was out there trying to get hired. The boss/lawyer hired Bartleby.
So then on the first day he was working really hard. He was a writer and he was real good at it.   A day later Bartleby stopped and was always not doing his work. The boss/lawyer asked him to look over a paper and he said “I would prefer not to”. The boss/lawyer got frustrated with him and asked him again to look over the paper with him. But Bartleby still said “I would prefer not to”. The boss/lawyer got irritated about it so he just told him to read and look over the paper then he put the paper on the desk. So Bartleby just got up from his desk and walked away.
The third day came and Bartleby was still not doing anything so the boss/lawyer went up to him and asked “Can you tell me about when you were born” Bartleby replied “I would prefer not to”,

My summary before Bartleby worked at Dead Letter Office

 

                                 My prequel of Bartleby

It all started when Bartleby was a young kid. He was born from the parents Judith and John Bartleby they loved him so much as a baby. His parents did what he wanted and not what his sister would want. He was spoiled by his parents. But his sister hated it when their parents wouldn't be far to her and sometimes let her have what she wants.  When he was told to do work he thought that it would be fun. So when his parents asked him to do something he told his parents that he would prefer not to. Then his parents said ok then lets get you sister to do it. The day after that he was asked to do something he always said I would prefer not to and he wouldn't have to do it. Then one day the sister tried to say I would prefer not to and her parents said no you have to do it because your brother is doing none of the work. Bartleby's sisters name is Julia Bartleby. They call James Bartleby by his last name because he prefers to be called by his last name than his first name. So anyways Bartleby had to got to a special school because he had a hyper disorder. His parents found out a year after his 11th birthday. from the day they found out about this disorder he was taking Therapy classes for it so that he can control it before it gets out of hand. So while he attended these classes his sister was diagnosed with cancer. She was taking chemo every week from when she was 13 years old. His sister is only 2 years older than him. So the same year they both found out about these things. They were both sad and disappointed that the had these things but  they decided to go out and be proud and stay strong. They were so proud they made a lot of friends that come over every weekend. Bartleby was getting better to control his hyper behavior but his sister was getting sicker when she was 17 years old. Bartleby was trying to help his sister as much as he can because he loved her and wouldn't let her quit fighting. Then one day his sister started getting better and when his sister asked him to go get something for her, he said I would prefer not to and she asked please and he kept on saying I would prefer not to. So she had to go get it her self. When Bartleby was 20 his sister was getting ill really fast that a week from then  she died in the hospital ed because of her cancer she had gotten but she tried fighting for her life. He went to her funeral a few weeks later. During the funeral the priest asked him to come and say some words about his sister and he said I would prefer not to then his parents went up to him and said get up right now and say something nice about your sister. He got up and said to the whole crowd I would prefer not to talk about my sister. Then everybody was so surprised and they were kinda mad at him. He then decided have a girlfriend and so he went on dates until one day he found the perfect girl for him. They dated for 4 years then it all went south from that point on. He was so sad that he stopped dating his girlfriend Amanda Steven. She was pretty and kind in all but he was  so sad that his old girlfriend Ashley Porter left him. So he was just thinking,  Why would she do this to me? Why did she say she loved me? He has all these questions about why she broke up with him. these questions ran through his mind all the time. So then one day he just said I will just move on from it. S then he just did that but then he got fired from his old job. When he got fired from his old job he found out that his mom and dad died from a car crash they were in. He got so emotional about it that he said  I promise I will do work then I will stop when  I don't want to no more. So then he went to a funeral he set up for them right next to his sister's grave. He was so sad and people asked him to say kind words about his family he lost but he told all of them I would prefer not to talk about them. Then he went up there because people kept on bugging him about it. He told everyone thank you for coming they would have appreciated it and I know you will miss them but right now I would prefer not to talk about them. Everyone got up and left the funeral and Bartleby went home. He just went out to find a job and he tried to go look and find one but he didn't. He saw his ex-girlfriend  Ashley Porter with this other dude and he stopped her and said may I see you privately and she said ok let's go over here. So they went over there and He said “Why did you leave me? You said you love me was that true or no?” she answered back I left you because you were too good for me and i did love you but you have to move on from me.” Bartleby just nodded and left her by the coffee shop they were at. Then he realised he was to good for her, he really never needed her for anything. He was sad over a girl that broke up with him. He thought that was really stupid. So he just went to other places to find jobs and ask if they know where he can find one. Then finally he found a job and it was called Dead Letter Office...
