In the early twentieth century, there was rapid growth in technological advancements, which enhanced the quality of human life. However, these advancements also resulted in the invention and use of deadlier weapons and combat vehicles that no other war had seen thus far. The old major was a constant witness to the havoc that these advancements in technology wreaked. This led to the major looking at all modern machinery with dismay, including the machinery that could help restore the major’s disfigured arm. The major’s distrust in technology is evident in the following lines of the story:

The doctor went to his office in a back room and brought a photograph which showed a hand that had been withered almost as small as the major's, before it had taken a machine course, and after was a little larger. The major held the photograph with his good hand and looked at it very carefully. "A wound?" he asked.

"An industrial accident," the doctor said.

"Very interesting, very interesting," the major said, and handed it back to the doctor.

"You have confidence?"

"No," said the major.

The machinery in the hospital represent the man’s vital functioning controlled by the technology and the slaughtering of the soldiers on the field of battle. The major was once a champion fencer which was altered by a war after a traumatic psychological and physical injury. He depicts his unfaithfulness in the machine to rehabilitate his hand considering it to be “nonsense” and “an idiotic idea”. The major was completely disillusion after his wife’s death due to pneumonia and deepen his fatality towards his life. By the end of the story the major convinces himself to put his hand in the machine and consider it to be fruitful.

Write a five paragraph letter in response to the sample analysis (click here to access the text), arguing either of the followin
stich3 [128]

The response required here is an argumentative essay. See how to write one below.

<h3>How do you write an argumentative essay?</h3>

1. First lay out your claim in the introduction:

It is false to state that "The court represents chaos and the woods represents order." The sample analysis proves otherwise, that is "The court represents order and the woods represents chaos.

From the sample analysis, textual evidence provides that The court gave an an edict that must be binding on Hermia because of her rebellion. This is a representation of order.

On the other hand, the woods which is populated by fairies (especially mischievous ones) are notorious for causing chaos. For example, they are preoccupied with disrupting relationships in human by spraying love portion on their eyelids as they sleep.

This is the mischief that befell Egregious daughter. It is to be noted that she eventually settled upon her fathers choice and life happily every after. This is proof that the woods were authors of chaos.

Suffice it so say that against the foregoing, it would be false to assert that  "The court represents chaos and the woods represents order."
