Author's Note: I chose: "Pick out at least three phrases/quotes which you think are especially important to the story (what you might mark on a printed text.) Briefly describe why you chose each."
I think that there are a few phrases or quotes from the story that were important for the understanding of the story:
1.) "...he would go home to his room. He would lie in the bed and finally, with daylight, he would go to sleep."
This is an important thing because it shows that he doesn't like sleeping at night, he likes sleeping during the day and staying awake during the night.
2.) ""We are of two different kinds," the older waiter said. He was now dressed to go home. "It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful. Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be someone who needs the cafe.""
This is also important to the story because it shows that both of the waiters have different views on why the man is there, and the older one has much more wise things to say than the younger waiter.
3.) ""No, it is not," agreed the waiter with a wife. He did not wish to be unjust. He was only in a hurry."
The younger waiter doesn't realize that he is being rude, and he is also not learning anything from what the older waiter says. He isn't figuring things out for himself, either.
