"The man who was almost a man" speaks of Dave, who had conflicts with gaining recognition and respect, because he was young. He wanted to grow up and become a man. For this he bought a weapon, thinking that it would make him grow as a man. Seeking power, he buys this weapon, to feel powerful, unstoppable. All these conflicts of the dave age led him to make some bad decisions. The story well specifies this when he accidentally shoots a mule, and he cannot sustain the excuse he made up for it, and when he decides to take a train and go to a city where he would be able to man up.

Answer:

Dave's character in "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" is much like any other normal teenage boy in his time he would work and he'd fantisize about having a gun because he felt that he was close to soon becoming a man , but he does have a bit of an immature mindset even though he thinks of himself of more of a man then he actually is. It seems that Dave happens to think getting a gun will make him more of a man but obviously with that mindset he has alot of thinking to do but , reasoning for that can be seen here , "Them n******; can't understan nothing. one of these days he was going to get a gun and practice shooting, then they couldn't talk to him as though he were a little boy." In the story although Dave's development starts with that , later after he finally gets the gun hes been waiting so long for , he ignores his mothers instructions and gets away with not handing her the gun after he buys it which they agreed on. Dave finds himself up and early to take his gun to work with him at Jim Hawkin's plantation and possibly get the chance to shoot his new gun and test it out.In the story here it describes the emotions and thoughts that go through Dave's head as he just accidently shot his boss's mule on accident by shooting with his eyes closed , "Jenny...Jenny , he called weakly . His lips trembled. She's bleeding t' death! he looked in the direction of home wanting to go back, wanting to help, but he saw the psitol laying in the damp black clay. That show's that at the beginning of the development of dave he really wants a gun and now that he has done something bad with his gun he feels as if he does not want to mention the truth or the gun even though he does get the best emotions out of him with many people having to see him cry and admit to his mistake after trying to cover it up , it seems later that his development does not get any better maturity wise but he does attempt to keep his shooting development ambitions alive becaus ethe nect morning after the incident he goes shooting again with the major improvemnt of keeping his eyes open. Overall Dave still has a lot of developing to do.

Part 1

Text structure is how you organize your information. For example, you may want to organize it in a cause/effect scenario, or using chronological order. For example, a text structure can take on the form of such:  

First, Japan surprised attack Pearl Harbor even when they were trying to hold peace conferences with the USA as a promise that they would hold the US's neutrality. This leads to President Roosevelt's famous "Day of Infamy" speech, which led to the US declaring war on the Axis Powers, and the internment of Americans with Japanese Ancestry (Nisei and Issei). Finally, the Issei's had to endure harsh treatments in the camps, and were fin ally let out of the camps following the Japanese surrender.

While this does not give the complete picture, it gives a feeling of a chronological order (in which after the attack of Pearl Harbor, it led to the Infamy speech, which led to the internment of Japanese Americans). It also gives a cause and effect (because of the attack, there is consequence for the Japanese Americans). This is just one of the structures you can use, but of course there are many more examples you can give.

Part 2

In the passage no gumption it shows the presence of a descriptive structure and describes and idea and helps explain the characters by depicting them to the reader. To build a fire shows sequential structure by explaining he ideas in a time order. The story also shows that his actions led up to his hardships because of his decisions.  And do it yourself. ;)  

Hope this helps!!!

In society, there are usually two main groups when associated with their mentality towards work. But is there a distinction between work, play, and creative expressions? Art is anything that requires creation or imagination. An artist, a writer, or a pianist probably enjoys what they do for a living because they have that talent to make that happen for them in their career. You can say that an artist will never retire because they have that passion and dedication to draw even when they get old. Sad to say, most people who do retire probably never liked their job or what they did for a living. Otherwise, why retire to something you love so dearly?

“Living to Work”, by Dorothy L. Sayers examines two classifications of people and their work. One group looks to work as a dreaded necessity, while the other group looks at their work as an opportunity for enjoyment and self-fulfillment. Altogether, their values, interests, and hard work all come down to money. For many, a “successful” worker is one who makes the most income and achieves the most fame. When it comes to interviews, the main questions are wages and hours. These people often fail to consider if the work is their actual passion--to do something they love. Partial blame goes out to our capitalist system and industrial machinery. We forget why we wake up each morning lose focus of what work really should be. But overall, the fact is that we must arrange our ideas where everybody has an opportunity to work hard and find happiness in doing well the work that needs to be done.

I believe working in factories is the most difficult job to have because the machines practically take over. Most workers have the same routine over and over again. No wonder these workers hate going to work. For those who see it as a career, they have to face the job for almost their whole life; gradually, their indifference eats up the enthusiasm, giving them nothing to look forward to each morning. No wonder people die to retire early. Since our economy is now based on industrial machinery, majority of the workers either work at factories or industries. It leaves us with no imagination and by the end of the day, we become exhausted by lifting, moving, rearranging, or whatever factory work entails. There is absolutely no form of creative expression or art anywhere.
