"Words Do Hurt Like Sticks and Stones." What would you predict this section to be about? Summarize the section and explain wheth
Nady [450]

Answer and Explanation:

Hello. You did not enter the text to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for a section summary to be made. In the meantime I will try to help you in the best possible way.

According to the sentence presented in the question above, we can predict that the section will deal with the effect of speeches and speeches on people's lives, how it affects individuals psychologically and can promote people's discomfort when the speeches and speeches are spoken irresponsibly. This section can also address our need to reason and evaluate our words before speaking them, so as not to create bad situations and negative feelings.
