Explanation:
I am writing to you about a conference that was last week. I have a lot of disclaimers so I decided to describe them in this letter.
First of all, I want to write something about my accommodation. When I decided to participate I was hoping that organizers will reserve hotel rooms in the building where there was a conference. Unfortunately, my room was booked at another hotel three blocks away. Moreover, I had no hot water all day and I had no TV so the standard was very poor.
The food was very expensive and is in small quantities. Happily, I got my own food. If you invite someone then you should provide free meals. Take this into consideration.
I want to express my strong dissatisfaction with the quality of the presentation. Lecturer for quickly switch between slides so it was hard to focus. The next time when he will be a lecturer he needs to ask whether can continue. The single-session took to long. I regret that was not short breaks in which people could relax and take fresh air.
All the rooms were too small so was very stuffy. Once I thought I would faint. I wanted to out of the conference as soon as possible. Organizers did not open the window.
I thought that after the theoretical part will be presented to us in the form of practice. That did not happen.
Yours faithfully,
- I had corrected the mistakes that were there in your letter. There were more than twenty mistakes. Style of your letter is good and the letter is understandable but I would recommend you to look up how and where you can write articles; indefinite: a,an and definite:the. Also, there were mistakes with punctation and usage of comma. Pronoun ''I'' must be written with the first big letter.
I believe it is A because the "greasers" were known to have greasy slick hair. You wouldn't see the jocks with that type of hair style which makes it a "social status"
Answer:
1. a. The title let's us know about who the narrator is.
b. Yes, the title is suitable as it details the thoughts of a handicapped boy and gives his perspective on how people see him.
2.The narrator makes the point that most people pay attention to his wheelchair which changes how they see him. This means that they don't see him as a person, they mainly see the wheelchair.
3. By this he means that most people ignore the similarities between them and the narrator and focus on the fact that he is handicapped
4. In line 11 and 12 he uses symbolism but throughout that stanza the narrator using the full rhyme scheme with perfect assonance..it is effective because it grasps the reader's attention
5. The attitude is slightly bothered... the phrase "please don't.." and "I'll let you know.."
6. The narrator asks to be respected and sign as any other regular individual
7. The major comparison is between the author and any other regular individual.. it continues to develop as the author compares himself to what people view him as and who/what he wants to be viewed as
8. The last line of the first stanza shows that readers/audience of the poem don't view him like how he wants them to, and the last line of the sixth stanza shows that after reading the poem that maybe they will have a better view of him and that they will understand him a bit more.
9. It means that the narrator will be happy to be respected
10. Personal qualities: being of good Character, benevolence, respectfulness, and sincerity
