My father, <u>an electrical engineer</u>, patiently explained the confusing material in my science textbook.
Answer:
appositive phrase.
Explanation:
An appositive phrase is a noun or a noun phrase that provides another name for a previously mentioned noun. The additional name given to that noun provides a clearer meaning or more information that enhances our understanding of the sentence. The phrase,<em> "an electrical engineer"</em>, provides more information about the<em> </em>noun <em>"father",</em> thus helping us to understand why the student's father was qualified to answer the question in the science textbook.

A deep peal of <u>thunder</u> went <em>rolling</em> and <em>tumbling</em> down the heavens...Another fierce glare lit up the <u>forest</u>, and an <em>instant crash</em> followed that seemed to rend the <u>treetops</u> right over the <em>boys'</em> heads.

"The Bundle of Sticks," and "Hofus the Stonecutter" are two stories that show men who are dissatisfied with what is happening in their environment and decide to improve them.
The father in "The Bundle of Sticks," is totally dissatisfied with his kids fighting all the time. So he decides to show them why they should stick together and not fight anymore. This father doesn't want riches, or to change his life completely, he just wants peace to reign in his home and unity prevail among his children, because that will do them good.
In contrast, Hofus in "Hofus the Stonecutter" is so dissatisfied with his life that he wants to completely change who he is, which he does several times, but never gets satisfaction. Hofus always thinks that the life of another being is better than his, but after becoming several different beings he realizes that there is nothing better than being himself.
We can see that the main difference between these two men is how they brought about changes in their lives. The father in "The Bundle of Sticks," brought about a change in the world around him, but remained true to what he believes in, reaching satisfaction. Hofus in "Hofus the Stonecutter" was totally unfaithful to himself and although he had every wish fulfilled, he was unable to satisfy himself.
