he killed him!!
In the story "The Bargain," when Slade broke his hand, Mr. Baumer took immediate action by showing compassion and concern for Slade's well-being. He provided assistance and support, recognizing the impact of the injury on Slade's ability to work and earn a living. Baumer's response highlights his character and the themes of empathy and moral responsibility in the narrative.
Mr. Baumer was like Al's father since he had passed away from a common disease in Moon Dance. He was a smart immigrant who knew how to write & read. On the other hand, there was Slade, who was illiterate (couldn't read/write) and bullied Mr. Baumer. Finally after Slade bullied him 3 times, Mr Baumer couldn't take it anymore, so he thought 'revenge' and hired Slade as his freighter (someone who delivers ordered goods to a store) and tricked him. Mr. Baumer knew that Slade always stole a beer from the box of goods people ordered, so this time, he ordered poisonous beer. He also knew that Slade couldn't read, so he would just think "Oh, beer!" Without knowing it was poisonous. So, as Mr. Baumer sneakly planned, Slade drank the poisonous beer and died. Also, Mr. Baumer and Slade had a couple things in common. Like there jobs, they were both adults , and they both are tricky.

Baumer, the owner of a general store, tries to collect a debt from Slade, his former employee and chronic bully cruelly twists Baumer’s nose and tosses the bill into the street. The next day, Baumer tells Al – the young narrator, who works part-time at the store – that the illiterate freighter, resents him, an immigrant who learned to read at sixteen and built a successful business; Baumer, in turn, resents Slade for stealing whiskey from ihm. A month later, Slade breaks Baumer’s hand. Shortly before Christmas, Baumer shocks Al by hiring Slade to haul freight. One bitterly cold day Slade dies in transit, apparently having frozen to death. Al, unloading a barrel, wonders whether there are enough customers for it. Assuring him there are, Baumer says it was a “bargain.” As Al notices the barrel’s label “Wood Alcohol – Deadly Poison,” Mr. Baumer slyly remarks, “Is good to know to read.”
when slade and baumer get in a fight
In the book "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque, Baumer runs into Slade for the first time during a battle on the Western Front. Baumer and his comrades are in a trench when Slade, a French soldier, suddenly appears and attacks them. Baumer manages to kill Slade in self-defense, but he is deeply affected by the encounter. The incident highlights the brutal and dehumanizing nature of war and the senselessness of killing someone who is also just a soldier fighting for his country.
