How can I write a internal monologue the perspective of Captain Torres in "Just Lather, That's All"?

I can't obviously do this assignment for you, but what I
can do is give you a few pointers in the right direction. This is a great assignment,
but to do it successfully you need to realise how the different view point would
radically change the tale and our understanding of the characters involved. Key to note
is that Captain Torres knows that the barber is involved with the rebels. Thus you would
have to explore his reasons for entrusting himself to a rebel sympathiser in such a
dangerous situation. Why did Captain Torres do it? What does that say about his
character? Also, you would need to think about to what extent the internal conflict of
the barber is perceived and understood by Captain Torres as he has his shave. In the
original story we are told that the barber tries to hide his nerves, but is he
successful? Also, we are told of the flashback that the barber has when he last saw
Captain Torres. Do you think Captain Torres remembers the barber and will have a similar
flashback? These are some of the questions that you will need to think about and answer
before beginning your internal monologue. Good luck!

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
