How does the author expand his argument in paragraphs 7-8? I am very real by Kurt Vonnegut

English

katen-ka-za [31]3 years ago
5 0

This is a thought-provoking letter written by Kurt Vonnegut opposing the idea of burning books of young children, in view of transforming the system of education in America.  

Explanation:

In this letter, Vonnegut starts telling audience/readers the ideas that can have a negative effect, not only on the target person/individual, but also on a wider range because of its effect being new and historic.

Though in view of a change, Vonnegut argues that this act of burning books is not what we all should accept. In Paragraphs 7 and 8, when Vonnegut explains about how people feel it is their right to decide what their children must read, the author explains to them that it is true but doing that in an un-American way -  harsh, impractical, ignorant manner can cause a negative impact for them.

In the next point of argument, author talks about how people/nations who didn't read books, didn't let ideas emerge among people fought wars. They created destruction all over world. The author clearly states that people/nations who read books have been a part of development, improvement and liberation.

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
coldgirl [10]

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,

That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

This is line from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Juliet says this to her lover Romeo. Although she is sad she has to say goodnight, she is also excited for the next time she will see him again. It was a sweet goodbye.

This line stayed relevant over the years because it embodied the passion and romance the play was famous for. It represented the tragedy that comes with love, the sadness that must come with happiness. It epitomized the mixed emotions in a relationship that people from all across generations can relate to.

Who are the opposing forces in the conflict in this
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The opposing forces in the passage would have to be Turner and Revered. Mainly because of their opposite points of view and their willingness to try new things.

What Turner's conflict with himself at the end of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy is that he has the urge or likeness of staying in the island because he finds it to his liking though even if he wants to stay, he couldn't, it is because of the people who is with him that does not like the island for the people on the island is someone who they dislike and can't trust. So even if Turner wants it, he couldn't do anything about it.

In Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, the time period of 1912 contributes to the main conflict in the novel since racism against African Americans by whites was the norm at that time". The setting of novel "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt is 1912. The story focuses on residents of Malaga Island who were placed in a mental hospital.

The historical period contributes to the story due to the fact that racism against African Americans was totally usual in 1912, and Turner become friend with a black girl, so that  the social situation turns complicated.
