Answer:
3 = Today's topic of discussion deserves further attention.
I believe the correct answer is: “You know bachem, I have
grown rather fond of you. You are a decent boy, I really believe that,
but--even decent boys need reminding sometimes. So it's my duty to remind you
that you are among peers in this flea market. You see everyone here is a
storyteller.”
In the novel “Kite Runner”, first
novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini, Soraya’s father interrupts her
conversation with Amir addressing the appropriateness of their interaction with
the following line:
“You know bachem, I have grown
rather fond of you. You are a decent boy, I really believe that, but--even
decent boys need reminding sometimes. So it's my duty to remind you that you
are among peers in this flea market. You see everyone here is a storyteller.”
He does that to remind them that even if they
are in another country and he trusts them believing that they are decent, the people’s mentality is still the same and they
gossip finding their often chatting alone inappropriate.
It should be argument from ignorance because an appeal to logic is not a fallacy, while begging the question is not always a fallacy. Bandwagonning is when you believe something because everyone else believes it.
Answer:
Updike has carefully brought the meaning to the poem and to the character by naming him Flick, which means a quick and sudden movement.
Explanation:
'Ex-Basketball Player' is a poem written by John Updike. The poem is about a character named 'Flick Webb' who used to be basketball star in his high school but now serves as a gas station attendant.
<u>The poem brings the meaning that one should not remain the past glory of life and must move on</u>. Flick used to be a basketball star in his high school but after that moment of life gets over he is just 'Flick' who, now, should think of life ahead of him. But he remains stick to his past glory.
"Flick' means a <u>quick and sudden movement</u>. By naming the character 'Flick', Updike brings out the message that life goes on in a flick moment of time and thus one should remain prepared for it. But, in the poem, 'Flick' was not prepared for life ahead and remained a slave of past glory as an 'Ex-Basketball Player.' Because 'Flick' perceived that his glory will remain forever, he never learned other skills to help him for his future, that's why now he serves as a gas station attendant.
