A+Problem

hThe story starts off with Sasha, a 25 year old who is the cause of all the commotion that goes on. He had cashed a false promissory note, or and IOU to pay a specific amount of money. With his mother dead, he has two uncles, Ivan Markovitch and the Colonel. The Colonel believes that Sasha should be punished and put in jail for his crime, while Ivan believes that Sasha is young and misguided, so he should be set free this time around, but that the next time he does it, he should be punished. While the uncles argue about what should be done, Sasha sits there and listens indifferently, he does not feel terror, nor depression. In the end Ivan wins and Sasha is let off the hook this time around, but the unthinkable happens. Sasha asks his uncle Ivan for a hundred rubles and at that moment, Sasha realizes that he is in fact a criminal.
