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.

Conclusion for global warming essay?
Tatiana [17]
It depends on how you worded your essay and what your views on global warming are, the way I would word it is "in conclusion global warming is real and changing drastically every minute, and we don't fully know exactly how it will affect the world long-term" that's one way you can say it.
