At the end of the story “The First Seven Years” by Bernard Malamud, Feld accepted that Sobel will marry Miriam, but her life may not be easy with him.
The story is about a father who wants to give all the comfort and happiness to his daughter which he has not able to give her. Feld thinks that wealth is the only way to attain happiness in life. Throughout the story, he feels insecure about his daughter Mirium of choosing someone with not equivalent to their social stature. For Fled appearance is of more importance than the inner qualities. Though Fled agrees to marry Miriam to Sobel, his insecurities never ended. He asked Sobel to work in his shop for more two years before marriage in order to see the efficiency of Sobel.
I think this means that when an injustice is done to someone who is now dead, they can't do anything about it because they are dead. So it is the responsibility of people still alive to stand up and get justice.
Answer:
A way to rewrite the sentence using parallel structure is:
He was determined to pass the math course, not only to earn his three credits, but also to get a sense of achievement.
Explanation:
Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to understand.
In the sentence, we use the structure "not only... but also..." The first part - the "not only" part - used a verb preceded by "to". However, the second part used the preposition "for" followed by a noun. Thus, we have two different structures. To make them parallel, we need to adjust one of them to be similar to the other. One way to do it is by using the "to + verb" employed int he first part for both:
- He was determined to pass the math course, not only to earn his three credits, but also to get a sense of achievement.
