Explanation:
This is the original quote including his name and correct grammar and punctuation.
For a topic sentence, or the beginning sentence that signifies the main idea of the paragraph, you could focus on the fact that there are a variety of things to do at the beach (perhaps the 3rd sentence). To create a hook, or an eye-catching sentence, you can use the childhood memory of learning to swim, but perhaps in more detail. In other words, recreate the scene rather than just saying it was a happy memory (i.e. I'm five years old and am amazed by how weightless I feel in the water). Once you create the hook and topic sentence, you can talk about other activities at the beach as your supporting evidence.
Answer:
From the earliest chapters, Sinclair describes men purposely seeking out or simply not being able to avoid alcohol. Certainly it is a cheap and easily accessible escape from the horrors of their lives. However, many men drink because bars are the only place in Packingtown to get warm, and men are only allowed to sit in the warm bars if they are drinking. These warm bars also provide food, but again, only to drinking customers. In addition to providing food and warmth, bars are relatively clean in comparison to the filthy, blood-soaked killing floors, which are the only other places men can eat their meals during the workday. Alcohol is yet another way for businesses to exploit the basic needs of hardworking men, perpetuating their struggles within the evil capitalist structure. Bars are businesses like any other, seeking to make as much money as possible. In order to do so, they must encourage men to drink, despite the fact that alcohol offers no nutritional value, is expensive, and weakens the body and mind, rendering exploited men like Jurgis less able to achieve their American Dream. Although Jurgis abstains at first, he begins drinking to ease his physical pain after his grueling work in the fertilizer plant. He also uses it to dampen his emotional pain. As soon as Ona dies, for example, he sets out to "get drunk." Through the working class's relationship with alcohol, Sinclair suggests that it is another form of exploitation (by tavern owners, who are in cahoots with the slaughterhouse and the police) and that in a more perfect society, men would not turn to it in the first place.
Explanation:
From the beginning this passage talked about Faizula
doing things for other people, not really looking for anything in return. He didn’t
want to bother the person behind him by leaning his seat back, let other people
go ahead even though he didn’t really want to. For a while it didn’t seem like
he would catch a break but when he was nice to the guy selling roses, and he
saw how it impacted him, all his niceness payed off.
I think the roses in the story represent the beauty
that can come out of one kind act. It sounds cheesy but, in the story, it talked
about how Faizula felt good about giving the man a smile and extra money, even
though the whole day he was being kind to no avail. The man was trying to sell
the roses to many people but each one shot him down, then when Faizula changed
his mind and bought one it changed the man’s whole mood, and in a way gave him
hope.
Faiula’s culture influences the story by creating a
sort of guideline we know he must follow. Not only should one be always kind
but self-disciplinary. He showed self-discipline when he didn’t break his fast
and chose to focus on his work. Through out the story he was consistent with
his actions and thoughts and that emphasizes how good of a person he really is.
