Summary Mitchell Y. Mc Deere, third in his class at Harvard Law, envisioned a career working on Wall Street, but Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a small, rich, and very private law firm in Memphis, made him an offer which he could not refuse. He and his wife Abbey moved to Memphis to start their new life. Mitch and Abbey believed that they were finally going to be happy but soon after they moved to Memphis, Mitch became very suspicious of some of the firms clients and partners. Two partners died in a suspicious diving accident off Grand Cayman.
He discovered other odd things at the firm, which included no one had ever resigned from the firm and security measures were very tight. One afternoon, while eating lunch alone at a nearby diner, an agent from the FBI approached him and Mitch then confirmed his suspicions. The FBI agent, Terrance, told Mitch a lot more about the goings on at the firm. Mitch knew that if he helped the FBI the firm would kill him, just like they killed the two partners in the Grand Cayman, but if he didnt help the FBI, he would be included in the bust for being involved. Mitch only told his wife these secrets and they decided to be very careful because their house, car, and office were all bugged. Mitch met with the FBI whenever the FBI needed him and he did what he was told.
This was all very difficult because of the very tight security in the office. The information that Mitch got for the FBI from the office was not enough for them. Mitch was instructed to find the important files, which were located in the firms beach house in the Grand Cayman. To get these files Mitch needed help from his wife and friend Tammy Hemphill.
The Essay on John Grisham Viewers Mitch Law
John Grisham's Appeal to Contemporary Viewers The success behind the Grisham's novels has come from the author's ability to focus the suspense and drama around the character, rather than the cases the character is involved in. When one looks back into time at the novels and TV shows about law, the authors tended to focus on the cases rather on the drama surrounding the event that took place. In ...
With the help of Abbey, Tammy, and his brother, Mitch was able to get the information to incriminate Bendini, Lambert & Locke, and also escape from the FBI and live in secrecy together. Film Clip Abbey, Mitchs wife, called Mitch at work and told him her fa the called saying a doctor had found a tumor in one of her mothers lungs and that she was leaving Memphis to be with her mother. But instead of going home to Kentucky, she went to the Nashville airport and made on her way to The Cayman Islands. Tammy Greenwood Hemphill was already at The Cayman Islands flirting with Avery Tolar, a partner at Mitchs firm.
Once she got him drunk they went back to his condo, which belonged to the firm where all the important files were kept, Avery excused himself to use the restroom and Tammy dumped one capsule of chloral hydrate into his drink. Avery returned and finished his contaminated drink, which caused him to pass out. Just one shot of that could knock a man out for ten hours, which was about the time she needed. Now Tammy had to go to work. She found Avery keys, which had the key to the storage room where the files were kept. Then Abbey arrives and the two girls start to copy all of the files.
But to do this they had to rent a hotel room and a copy machine. Each time the girls returned to the condo to get more files, Tammy checked on Avery. Around five thirty, Tammy returned to the condo for about the fiftieth time but when she went to check on Avery, he was awake and sitting on the edge of the bed. Tammy reacted fast by playing the role of the party girl, which she played when they first met. She told Avery that is was early and that they should go back to sleep. Avery put his head down on the pillow and was asleep again.
Tammy called Abbey and explained the situation. Abbey said she would finish the copying and told Tammy to take a shower and to get into bed with Avery. Tammy lay there and kept thinking over and over again that if this man knew what she just did, he would kill her. At three past nine, Avery woke up and didnt remember a thing that happened. The girls finished copying the files while Avery was at work.
Style The writing style of The Firm is easy to read. The chapters are climatic in the end, which makes you want to read the next chapter. John Grishman introduces a lot of characters but presents them in a way that the reader is able to distinguish each. The vocabulary is relatively easy except for the law terms, which can be decoded by the content clues. Evaluation The Firm by John Grisham is an excellent book. I would recommend this book to anybody who loves to read about suspense, action, and romance because it is filled with all of this.
The Essay on Ideal Woman In Kincaid’s Short Story “Girl”
In an endeavor to define an ideal woman, we compare two Literature works which are the Kincaid’s short story “Girl” and Jane Martin’s play, “Rodeo”. Comparing these two works, we see two contrasting definitions of an ideal woman as they are brought out in different settings. In the Kincaid’s short story, “Girl”, we notice for instance that a girl should live a humble life that is respectful to all ...
I like the fact that every chapter ended in suspense and the conclusion remained a mystery until the very end. 317.
