The tailor is an overall sympathetic person. The shoemaker and him are in the forest when the tailor gets hungry from not bringing enough bread along for the trip. The shoemaker then gave the tailor some of his bread, but only if he could would let him poke out his right eye. The tailor was so hungry he gave in to losing both his eyes but says, “‘When times were good with me, I shared what I had with you’” (490). This shows the tailor gave the shoemaker some of his wealth. The tailor hoped for him
Before the American Civil War, ready-made apparel existed but its variety was limited. Coats, jackets and undergarments were only available in predetermined sizes. Most clothing was made by tailors, by individuals, or by their family members at home. The Civil War was a pivotal event in the historical development of men’s ready-made clothing. At the outset of the Civil War, most uniforms were custom-made in workers’ homes under government contract. As the war continued, however, manufacturers started
The tailor proves to be the “good”/positive person out of the two travelers especially since he shares with his traveling companion, has faith in all that he encounters, and gets a reward for the way he lives his life.

This evidence provides reasoning for the the tailor being good because he shares all he has with his companion despite later evidence proving
We live our lives following a set of steps and the majority of the time we do not even notice we doing such things. We have learn through society how to dress, how to eat, what to do and when to do it.

Wearing the appropriate outfit can provide the euphoria of accomplishment as well as present that spectacular first impression. Dressing well is more than what it may present; it is about feeling confident about what you wear, feeling poised, and even gaining that additional “wow” factor from the observer.

Sociologists know that a person 's clothing - the same social alarm, as well as his speech, behavior, etc. Even those who assures us that "dresses them quite interesting," and dress as casually as possible, in fact,.. thus inform about their role in society and its attitude to the culture in which they live. It is said that modern man puts more freely and "informal". But this statement is misleading. In fact, previous conventions give way to the new. Jeans on a young man today - the same convention

Module 7 Essay: Valliant Little Tailor vs. Heracles After reading both The Valliant Little Tailor and Heracles, there were pretty clear similarities, as well as differences. Both of these stories, in my opinion, could be classified as the “trial” pair, as both stories have a series of trials that the protagonist is expected to complete in order to gain something of value. While the trials are approached differently from each character, they are eventually completed, and the reward is obtained.

Only people that could afford stylish clothes wore it. Now on to school. Did all children go to school? Roman Times
