Thornton Wilder expected the audience to feel nostalgic about the setting of Grover's Corners. This event is taken from the "Our Town" play created by Thornton Wilder which tells about a town named Grover's Corners. In the opening scene, the stage manager intends to makes the audience feel nostalgic because he wants to tell them about the town's history. Grover's Corners is described as a small town that does not have big landmarks.
In The Glass Castle, the Walls family consists of four children. The oldest one is <em>Lori</em>, who often teams up with Jeanette to help the family. She tries to help them by being realistic, and trying to see the world as it really is. The second one is <em>Jeanette</em>, the main character in the story. Jeanette's most important contribution to the family is the fact that she never loses faith in them, so she is the glue that holds them together. This is particularly important in the case of her father.
<em>Brian</em> is the next child, and he is a great defender of his sisters. He is also the most honest one about the parent's shortcomings. Because of this, he is able to bring some reality into their lives, and he is able to remain more distant from the chaos. Finally, <em>Maureen</em> is the one who reflects what a chaotic childhood can cause on a child. She is more affected mentally and spiritually by her upbringing, in contrast with her siblings. She is also the one who seems to contribute the least to the family's stability.
Answer:
Using a causative sentence to describe the situation:
The boxer had his nose broken during a match.
or
The boxer got his nose broken during a match.
Explanation:
<u>The verbs "have" and "get" can be used as causative verbs. That means they can indicate that the subject of the sentence is not the one who performed the action.</u> Mostly, causative verbs are used when we wish to imply that we asked or paid someone else to do something for us. For example:<u> I had my house painted last summer.</u> --> I was not the one who painted the house. I paid someone to do it for me.
Having that in mind, we can take the situation in the question (the boxer whose nose broke during the match) and describe it with causative verbs in the following manner:
The boxer had his nose broken during a match.
or
The boxer got his nose broken during a match.
