. How do they further her argument?
English

ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Tan’s anecdotes further her argument because they make the points in her argument personal. Which appeals to readers with a personal story of how the use of English can determine how someone is seen or treated. The anecdotes in this story make the reader feel sympathetic for Tan’s mother and the way she was treated because of her use of “broken” english.

  • The novel's narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment, Nick often serves as a confidant for those with troubling secrets.
  • Nick not only tells the readers what has happened but continually suggests how they should feel about what is happening. He does this mainly by expressing how he feels himself. This seems to be Fitzgerald's main reason for using Nick as a minor-character narrator.
  • The majority position is the traditional one: Nick is considered quite reliable, basically honest, and ultimately changed by his contact with Gatsby. ... The critical controversy merits a brief return to the text as our final understanding of Gatsby is almost entirely dependent upon the reliability of Carraway's narration.
  • She tells Nick that when her daughter was born, she told the nurse: “I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” ● Pages 21-23: Nick and Daisy return inside oh, and the group says their goodnights. that is how he recognized her.

When Nick says “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.” he is saying that everyone falls into one of those categories. The pursued are men like Gatsby who everyone is after, people who there are always interest. Jordan would also fall into this category.

Revise the passage by changing all of the gerunds to infinitives and all of the infinitives to gerunds.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: "<u>To give</u> is one of the best things people can do. <u>Volunteering</u> their time shows what caring people they are".

Explanation: A gerund is a non-finite verb form that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. An infinitive is also a non-finite verb form, but it is formed with "to" and the simple form of a verb. Moreover, an infinitive can work as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. In the passage provided,<u> "giving" is a gerund because it ends in "-ing" and it is working as a noun;</u> therefore,<u> it must be transformed into an infinitive by adding "to" and writing the simple form of the verb: "give"</u>. Furthermore, <u>"to volunteer"</u> is an infinitive because it <u>is made up of "to" and the simple form "volunteer"</u>. "To volunteer" must be changed into a gerund by <u>deleting the "to" and converting "volunteer" into a gerund: "volunteering"</u>.
