HUMANITIES Michel Hudon In the short story "The Eleventh Edition" by Leo E. Litwak we notice Russ Hansen is heading in two different directions in his life. First, Russ starts off by being a follower of Professor Diekman's teachings and second the realities of real life where everything else matters. At the beginning of the story, Russ moves away from his boring hometown and alcoholic father to go to University and start a new life …

…father to start a new and better life to dropping that evil circle. Russell gains a lot of knowlede and wisdom by everything that goes on in the story which will help him in his journey through life. I think he learned the best lessons he could have learned. First, that old age is everyone's destiny and second, that there will always be people out there tidying up the world and are full of themselves.
