Answer:
From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs
The claim is "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.
Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.
Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.
Under is a "preposition".
This is correct because "under" is used to show the location of the action happening, which means that it is a preposition.
I would make everyone read a beginning to the English language because English is probably the most spoken language, everywhere you go you probably will find someone who speaks English. If this would be a book that everyone would read then no matter where you go you can speak with anyone. This would change the world by making traveling to countries where your language isn't spoken making it so much more easy to get directions if you're lost, to find someplace to eat, and basic info if everyone would know how to talk in basic English.
