Answer:

There are two kinds of speakers in the world: those that are speaker-centered and those that are audience-centered. A speaker-centered person thinks only about his perspective and uses his beliefs and values as the focus of the speech. An audience-centered person makes his speech more enjoyable and entertaining.

Explanation:

The best way to know if you are focusing on your audience is to perform a formal analysis, and it's pretty in depth. The speaker makes a prescribed plan to scrutinize the audience's behaviors and uses the data to come up with conclusions about audience's preferences.

How does jim o'connor feel about his own future in the glass menagerie

ira [324]

In the character descriptions preceding the play, Jim is described as a "nice, ordinary, young man." He is the emissary from the world of normality. Yet this ordinary and simple person, seemingly out of place with the other characters, plays an important role in the climax of the play.

The audience is forewarned of Jim's character even before he makes his first appearance. Tom tells Amanda that the long-awaited gentleman caller is soon to come. Tom refers to Jim as a plain person, someone over whom there is no need to make a fuss. He earns only slightly more than does Tom and can in no way be compared to the magnificent gentlemen callers that Amanda used to have.

Jim's plainness is seen in his every action. He is interested in sports and does not understand Tom's more illusory ambitions to escape from the warehouse. His conversation shows him to be quite ordinary and plain. Thus, while Jim is the long-awaited gentleman caller, he is not a prize except in Laura's mind.

The ordinary aspect of Jim's character seems to come to life in his conversation with Laura. But it is contact with the ordinary that Laura needs. Thus it is not surprising that the ordinary seems to Laura to be the essence of magnificence. And since Laura had known Jim in high school when he was the all-American boy, she could never bring herself to look on him now in any way other than exceptional. He is the one boy that she has had a crush on. He is her ideal.

Although Nick Carraway has his reservations about Gatsby, it is clear he thinks of him fondly; after all, Fitzgerald titles the

Fofino [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Gatsby was a corrupted man who somehow managed to remain naive. We may very well say he was a great man, but not in the sense usually associated with that word. He was not great for being famous and rich. He was not great for being generous and altruistic. What was great about him was his personality, as well as his perspective concerning the world. Gatsby was a great dreamer. His ambition provided him with this beautiful ability to dream, to look up and reach for higher grounds, a better life, the best girl. He was a flawed man, that is for sure. His principles were inconsistent. To achieve what he so desired, he became a criminal without hesitation. Gatsby focused on the ends, not the means. That does tarnish the greatness of his spirit. Even worse, he assumes others might very well be as morally flexible as he is. Notice how he offers to help Nick at first, only to realize Nick does not sway that easily to the dark side:

‘There’s another little thing,’ he said uncertainly, and hesitated.

‘Would you rather put it off for a few days?’ I asked.

‘Oh, it isn’t about that. At least——’ He fumbled with a series of beginnings. ‘Why, I thought—why, look here, old sport, you don’t make much money, do you?’

‘Not very much.’

This seemed to reassure him and he continued more confidently.

‘I thought you didn’t, if you’ll pardon my—you see, I carry on a little business on the side, a sort of sideline, you understand. And I thought that if you don’t make very much—You’re selling bonds, aren’t you, old sport?’

‘Trying to.’

‘Well, this would interest you. It wouldn’t take up much of your time and you might pick up a nice bit of money. It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing.’
