I’m pretty sure it’s a metaphor , i’m sorry if i’m wrong!
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is one of its kind. In the article, we can read some of the reasons for considering both remarkable and unique at the time it was designed to be later built. First, we learn that it was an initiative passed by the Congress in order to remember the dead or missing from the Vietnam War. It was planned in a time where public opinion was strongly against the American intervention on the small Asian nation, in so the Memorial didn't have to connotate any signs of justifying the controversial issue and yet honor those who gave their lives. For this, a contest was held were sculptors and architects were invited to present a design. The Memorial shows no statements at all regarding the war, it poses a unique type of high art and it is simple yet very touching as it conveys a great view mixing the land with the sky and connects perfectly to the surrounding environment.
The Vietnams Veterans Memorial was designed by winner Maya Ying Lin. Interesting to note is that this memorial does move emotions in that the place is located in a Mall next to prominent Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. It features a somewhat minimalistic design it yet makes it way to impress anyone who visits our reads about it.
<span>My worst problem is the inability to speak clearly in public. <em>This </em>is not true when I am with my family.</span> The pronoun reference "this" in the sentence is used incorrectly because it used to refer to the whole sentence before it. It implies that the antecedent is "<span>My worst problem is the inability to speak clearly in public."</span> However, the readers don't know which part of that statement "is not true when I am with my family". Is the problem not true? Is the inability to speak clearly in public not true? The antecedent is vague, and we can say that (3) there's no specific antecedent.
Answer:
We can apply it to our own lives because we've all done mistakes and bad things in our lives but we can change our ways for the better like how instead of becoming a greaser Johnny believes that Ponyboy can become good in the world. It kinda shows how in life some people have done bad things but if they change their ways starting now they can still be part of the good in the world. I hope this helps :))
