The Scrivener by Herman Melville is about a lawyer who works on Wall Street This lawyer is also the narrator of the story Melville writes about the Lawyers employees and gives a long explanation about everyone The first one Turkey is about the same age as the Lawyer himself and is a good worker in the morning but gets worse as the day goes on Turkey seems like a nice guy to me who wants to work but he can't because his body would not let him The second one is Nippers who is much younger than Turkey and the lawyer He is the very opposite of Turkey because he has trouble working in the morning but as the day goes on he is an excellent worker The last employee is Ginger Nut He is different from the other two because he is not a scrivener he is the boy who is responsible for getting supplies and items for Turkey and Nippers He is called Ginger Nut because they often send him to get Ginger Nut cake I am kind of sorry for Ginger Nut because he just gets used by them to get stuff nobody really needs After the lawyer described the habits of these men he started to slowly introduce Bartleby The lawyer hired Bartleby because he needs help to get all his work done
