How does each child try to help the parents in the glass castle? 5 sentences minimum

1 answer:

8 0

In The Glass Castle, the Walls family consists of four children. The oldest one is Lori, who often teams up with Jeanette to help the family. She tries to help them by being realistic, and trying to see the world as it really is. The second one is Jeanette, the main character in the story. Jeanette's most important contribution to the family is the fact that she never loses faith in them, so she is the glue that holds them together. This is particularly important in the case of her father.

Brian is the next child, and he is a great defender of his sisters. He is also the most honest one about the parent's shortcomings. Because of this, he is able to bring some reality into their lives, and he is able to remain more distant from the chaos. Finally, Maureen is the one who reflects what a chaotic childhood can cause on a child. She is more affected mentally and spiritually by her upbringing, in contrast with her siblings. She is also the one who seems to contribute the least to the family's stability.

What could Brutus have done to give a more effective speech? Write two paragraphs that describe his use of persuasive appeals, c

Mrac [35]

Brutus relied heavily on emotional appeals in his speech. There were many futile attempts at a logical plea and Brutus's desperateness was clearly apparent.

"Romans, countrymen, and lovers!"

This is clearly pathos being implemented. Brutus uses endearing terms to start his speech. Brutus may have been using this phrase to show Rome that he was still loyal -- still faithful to his country, but this type of appeal has many drawbacks.

Brutus had just murdered Caesar. Caesar, leader and lord of Rome had been slaughtered by assassins led by Brutus. Caesar, beloved ruler to many had been stabbed 23 times until he was lifeless. Apparent to both Brutus and Antony, these two traitors* attempt to broad-brush the crude actions with foul sentiments. You cannot stab a great man 23 times and then call his followers "friends." Brutus's beginning statement was weak and despite his attempt at warmth, inclusion, and sincerity, I the reader saw his appeal as inconsiderate, cold, and hypocritical.

Antony's speech was slightly better than Brutus's. While he appeals with emotion, he also appeals with reason. Nevertheless, it was still a bunch of hot air.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;"

His beginning statement is just as Brutus's but let's lend out ear to him for a minute.

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their bones;

So let it be with Caesar.

Antony gave a very cold approach which should have gotten a drastic response. Brutus at least had the sagacity to praise Caesar more openly. Antony however skipped the niceties and went straight to the point. While I applaud his bluntness, Antony was evil to appeal this way. He makes Brutus look like a saint -- and maybe that was the point but how would you tell a loved one the someone special died? Would your eulogy be ridden and flagrant with evil-biddings and stories of deceit. I ask not Antony to lie, but to tell the truth in love.

*I say traitor because I do not agree with Brutus's methods. I also say so for Antony due to his negligence to pick a side.

Read the sentence.

AveGali [126]

One way to vary the syntax of the text is to combine sentences since, in this way, your structures will be longer and more complex to follow. This could be done by means of links such as: however, in addition, therefore, etc. When using these words, you create semantic relations between the syntactic structures and make the reading process more difficult because, as I've I said, sentences become longer and therefore the reader has to keep more information in mind to follow the train of thought.

You could also vary the syntax by adding phrases or clauses. This option is similar to the previous one since it also refers to the complexity of the syntactic structures of the text.
