"An account of Dr. Swift has been already collected, with great diligence and acuteness, by Dr. Hawkesworth, according to a sche

me which I laid before him in the intimacy of our friendship. I cannot therefore be expected to say much of a life, concerning which I had long since communicated my thoughts to a man capable of dignifying his narrations with so much elegance of language and force of sentiment.
Jonathan Swift was, according to an account said to be written by himself, the son of Jonathan Swift, an attorney, and was born at Dublin on St. Andrew's day, 1667: according to his own report, as delivered by Pope to Spence, he was born at Leicester, the son of a clergyman who was minister of a parish in Herefordshire. During his life the place of his birth was undetermined. He was contented to be called an Irishman by the Irish; but would occasionally call himself an Englishman. The question may, without much regret, be left in the obscurity in which he delighted to involve it."
What effect is accomplished through the author's choice to begin his account with this paragraph?
A) It shows the author is bored with the subject
B) It establishes that the author knew Jonathan Swift
C) It lets the reader know not to take his account seriously
D) It creates conflict between the author and Swift’s biographer

Can someone summarize this in different wording?<br><br> (Will give brainliest)
Setler [38]

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Rodriguez 's story of how learning changed his relationship with his family is something that many migrant children feel regarding their parents , especially working class immigrants. I can, to a certain degree, relate to Richard because my relationship with my Hispanic family has also changed with education. And my brother taunting me for a while because I still wanted to clarify why my mother was confused about why I read so many books and was excited about academics. However, where he is embarrassed of his Mexican family, that is something I do not feel of the same way. Myself and many other children of immigrants have to learn to reform and change our ways to become better for our children and the generations that follow.
