Concerns about the adoption of Western culture among youth and adolescents.
Response to the article "Western influence on youth today"
Dear Editor,
In reading the article and evaluating the influence of Western culture in our society, especially among young people and adolescents, I could not help noticing how it can be harmful to our society.
With the intense adoption of factors of Western culture by our youth, I am concerned that our own culture and customs are abandoned and forgotten over time. With that in mind, I believe that the best way is to make the concepts of our culture attractive to young people in our society, mainly through articles and artistic presentations, which not only show the value of our culture, but show young people how important it is respect and admire cultures from other regions without abandoning ours.

Answer:
Compound sentence.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses. Independent clauses are those words that can stand on their own as a full sentence and needs no dependent or other words to complete. Also, compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions to join the two independent clauses.
In the given sentence, there are two independent clauses separated by a semicolon.
Now, semicolons are used in place of conjunctions if the two sentences are related or close to each other. This means that we can replace conjunctions such as "like" or "and" in the sentence.
Likewise, the given sentence used the semicolon to connect the two independent clauses, making it a compound sentence.
The <u>sentence cannot be a simple sentence as a simple sentence has only one subject and a verb</u>.
And it <u>cannot be a complex sentence as complex sentences contain an independent and dependent clause</u>. And <u>we have no dependent clause in the given sentence.</u>
Thus, the correct answer is a compound sentence.

Explanation:
1. The aspects of the line that inspire interest in Elwood include
a. The best gift of his life. One wonders what the best gift could be and its importance to him.
b. ...even if the ideas it put into his head were his undoing. The reader might also wonder what the ideas were and why it would cause Elwood's undoing.
2. Mysterious things are unknown and hard to explain. The best gift of his life is mysterious because the reader has no idea of what that gift could be because not much is known about the protagonist. The ideas in his head which would cause his undoing are also mysterious.
3. The phrase I would want to be explained to me is; The best gift of his life. When I know what that gift is, it would help me understand the personality of Elwood and why he had ideas in his head on receiving the gift.
4. The author can explain it further because he knows the qualities of the characters involved in the story.
5. One possibility could be that the gift has a major significance in the story.
Another possibility could be that the gift promoted an ideology that the protagonist holds dear.
The use of the phrase might have also been to whet the reader's interest in the story.
6. I think that the last reason is most likely. Seeing that the reader is not yet acquainted with the character, the mystery surrounding the best gift would make him wonder what that gift was. He would also want to find out by reading more of the story.
