Touching the father’s feet signifies both respect and authority for him by the devoted son. This show of respect and authority has been embedded to the son, he stopped touching his father’s feet but he carried with him the authority and respect he felt for his father even after becoming a doctor. The devoted son continuously showed his father the respect and authority and this somehow has taken a toll on their relationship especially when the father was succumb to sickness. He showed his respect and authority to his father by ensuring that he lived as long as the son can provide by giving the father the necessary medications. This displeased the father because he felt the other way around.

katrin2010 [14]
The last sentence makes the most sense in this context because it is talking about dead and uncared for plants. The first and second sentences metion that the flowers are fresh,lush,well-watered, and nurtured, but the orginal sentence contradicts this.

how do I write an eight sentence paragraph about how drunk driving should be stopped that fully develops the topic?
Nezavi [6.7K]

1. You can first give an introduction sentence (a hook that would get the reader to be interested when reading this).

2. Make some long sentences in the middle of your paragraph and expand that sentences a little bit and don't say everything you need to say in a couple of sentences.

3. Put down a conclusion sentence that concludes what you said in the middle of your paragraph.

These steps should help you succeed in writing your eight sentence paragraph.

Your welcome.  :)
