That day a quarter of a century later when I visited him on the plantation—he was standing against the sky, smiling toothlessly,

his hair whitened, his body bent, his eyes glazed with dim recollection, his fearsome aspect of twenty-five years ago gone forever from him—I was overwhelmed to realize that he could never understand me or the scalding experiences that had swept me beyond his life and into an area of living that he could never know. What does the excerpt most clearly demonstrate about Wright's attitude toward his father?

Answer:

Wright was apparently hurt and unhappy when reflecting on his father's  past dealings with him.

Explanation:

The excerpt portrayed Wright's father as a person who did not truly treat him lovingly during his younger days. This can be found in the sentence where he talked about his 'fearsome aspect of twenty five years ago'. Old age apparently made his father vulnerable according to his descriptions such as his 'bent body', and him 'smiling toothlessly'. This was not the way his father was during his younger days.

Wright also talked about some scalding experiences which swept him beyond his life. These scalding experiences may have been caused by his father.

In what way can sentence structure affect the tone of a written work
sladkih [1.3K]

There is typically more than one way to communicate an idea with regard to sentence structure, and how the sentence is structured contributes to its tone. For instance, short/brief sentences can contribute to a sense of hurry or haste. For instance let’s look at the following sentences:

I was late. I quickly ate. I brushed my teeth. I forgot to comb my hair. Then, I was out the door.

Can you feel the tone of urgency communicated by the short sentences?

Likewise, long and drawn out sentences can provide the tone of sluggishness and/or unwillingness. This is something to keep in mind when constructing your own sentences—as you are writing always be aware of your sentence structure and the tone it may communicating.
