5.Why did the main character resent working on another man's house?
The main character in "Carpenter" dislikes his job because he feels that he is a slave for someone. The character notes that all of the men that hire him and his brother are all wealthy. one man is paying $40,000 for a bathroom, another man wants to add room to his garage for his new motorcycle, and the other is an architect that is adding a three story addition to his home. The character also mentions that they are being hired to do the work that these men don't want to do, like removing a sewer pipe. The fact that the character is doing something that others don't want to do makes the character feel like he is a slave. These people that hire them are of a higher class economically. In the end, this character probably had self-esteem issues if all he was worried about was the type of men he was working for...
