Seize the day

Seize the day is about Tommy Wilhelm. Tommy is away from his wife and wanting a divorce. But she will not divorce him. His father told him not to trust a man named Tamkin who is a psychiatrist and knows about the market. He convinces Tommy to buy some lard and says it will go up in price. He is very wrong. 

Tommy always goes to breakfast with his dad and one day he finds his dad's new friend there. He drinks Coca Cola and eats breakfast. He meets Tamkin and talks about Tamkin's patients. They go to the market and check lard but its price has gone down. So Tamkin buys December rye. Tommy is soon nearly broke and his dad will not lend him money,but his wife needs money for her boys and asks him for it.

Tommy goes down to a street corner. There he sees Tamkin standing. Tamkin is talking to man,but Tommy cannot hear what about. Tommy sees he is near a funeral and leaves. He soon thinks about money again and asks his dad again. His dad says no and his wife needs more money soon. Tommy tells her about how he is broke and cannot send money,but she does not listen.
