Plot/Reaction
The yellow sheet of paper was full of facts, quotations and figures that he needed for work. Tom retrieves the paper by climbing out of the window, onto the side of the building.
Questions
1. Why did he work instead of going to the movies with his wife?
2. Why didn't he care about the paper the second time it flew out of the window?
Quote
He thought of all the evenings he had spent away from her, working; and he regretted them. He thought wonderingly of his fierce ambition and the direction his life had taken; he thought of the hours he'd spent by himself, filling in the yellow sheet that had brought him out here.Contents of the dead man's pockets, he thought with sudden fierce anger, a wasted life.
