Bullet In The Brain Sparknotes

This story, Bullet in the Brain, is about a man named Anders who gets shot in the head during a bank robbery. Anders is the main character in the story and he works as a book critic. He is not your average nice guy, he is very opinionated, bad attitude, and a little rough around the edges.
It is the end of the day and Anders has to run to the bank last minute and that already has him on edge and then when he goes to get in line two women in front of him are being obnoxiously loud. To top all of that the teller closes the line he is in. This really pisses Anders and the two ladys off so the ladys start making smart remarks about the teller leaving. Anders then starts being scarcastic to the ladys as if they thought it was the end of the world. The ladys smirked and turned away from him.

The robbers had guns and told everyone to be quiet. Then they told the tellers not to hit any alarems or they would be “dead meat” (Wolff 73) and to fill the bags up with money. Anders looked at the lady’s and scarcastically said “dead meat” ( Wolff 73) to mock the robbers. The robbers called the teller that walked away, from the line Anders was in, to get her “ugly ass over there and fill the bag” (Wolff ). With that Anders could not hold back the sarcasm and said “justice is done” (Wolff ). The robbers hear Anders and yells to him “ hey bright boy did I give you permission to speak?” Anders said “no” (Wolff ) and looks at the ladys in front of him and said “did you hear him? He called be bright boy” (Wolff ). The ladys nervously said “ please be quiet” (Wolff )! The robber yells again “ hey you deaf or what” (Wolff )? Anders said “no” and the robber poked the gun in Anders stomach and asked if he thought if he was playing
