across a café in Dempsey Hill that utilized a very interesting pricing practice: a Pay-What-You-Want pricing scheme. In other words‚ they had no price for their coffee‚ but the restaurant charged for their food. Being a typical Singaporean‚ I was very skeptical over this practice and various thoughts flooded through my mind: ‘this would never work!’ ‘Is the coffee poisonous?’ ‘Free ah? Really? What if no one pays!’ My brain simply could not fathom how such a mechanism would work‚ and I sincerely

‘Above all‚ Jane Eyre is a love story’ – How far and in what ways do you agree with this view? I feel that the novel Jane Eyre‚ by Charlotte Bronte‚ is loosely a love story between the protagonist – Jane and Edward Rochester; therefore I agree with this statement to a small degree.

“Of Mice and Men” has been called a pessimistic novel. Do you agree? What can you find in the story that might be called optimistic or hopeful? I agree with this statement to a point but I do think there are some aspects of the story that could be described as optimistic or hopeful.
