chapter 9 summary
In the article “A VISIT TO THE BARVERSHOP” by Bill Bryson talks about the barbers and how they give haircut. Bryson go to haircutter guy and tells him to give a haircut. The haircut guy asks him what kind haircut he wants. Bryson says that he wants something a bit emphatic. The barber gives me a haircut that makes ones side bald. The haircut guy ask one of his colleagues and tells him to take some of his hair from behind the left ear around the back to the behind the right ear. The colleagues tells him that will look like Barney Rubble. Barney gets sad and just hands him the money. While going to home he walked with his collar up and his head sunk into his shoulders. His wife asked him “ did you did something wrong to make them mad?” and he said “ no just to him to make it like a banker”.

Nice work on this summary. Make sure you put his claim in the first sentence--rather than just saying it's about a barber visit, tell readers what Bryson's opinion is of going to the barbershop. (He hates it.)
