It is clear to the reader that his son takes his father for granted and the letter is a last-ditch effort by Lord Chesterfield to help him. The values, which Chesterfield has acquired throughout his life, are reflected in this letter to his son using many different rhetorical strategies. Lord Chesterfield organized the letter to his son in a way that was
The moral values that they taught me I will always remember. My father is a humble man, and imparted onto me, through his example, that one should never be haughty and self-consumed. My mother guided me through life, dropping small but crucial pieces of advice here and there along the way, making sure that I would not go the wrong way. Now, even as I live separate from my father in this foreign land, his lessons still lead me through my days
Then protective feeling grew stronger with each passing weeks. Desire and need to understand the world around me in order to protect my baby spread out in to every level of my life. I had concerns that never existed before in my mind. I learned to put somebody else needs as a priority. Now I spend my previous personal time to bonding, playing, attention giving to him, making sure that he has not only my love and worship, but all nessasary material things in life perior to me.
Comment on the poem’s diction. How does diction relate to tone? Li-Young Lee uses common language. His tone is very reflective. He describes in thorough detail his memory of his father, and notices that the tenderness he is using with his wife was a result of his father.
His first example was the two types of parents. According to text, “he finished with this unfatherly expression, ‘Well! Give me peace in my day.’ Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, ‘If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace’; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.” He used this example due to show people that one who is going to fight against Britain is a good parent and one who doesn’t is not good
Many people tried to civilize Huckleberry Finn as they saw necessary. Widow Douglas and Miss Watson tried to conform Huck into a proper young gentlemen. They made him literate, tried to teach him the basis of etiquette, and gave Huck some religious knowledge. No one of this made Huckleberry a relatively happy little boy, and what the two women tried to teach Huck almost all faded away when he did into the river. However, the things that Widow Douglas and Miss Watson tried to instill in Huckleberry Finn was exactly what Mark Twain wanted to point out.
As it may be difficult to discover our true identity, it jeopardises our ability to find a sense of belonging, because we are weary from our previous unpleasant experiences. Our closest connection ever since we were children, would be our parents, their teachings, traditions and values ultimately forms our beliefs when we’re still developing and learning. During this period of time, we strive to live by our parents’ rules and morals, and that’s not only because we respect them, but we’re still trying to find our own identity. Over the time as we grow up, as we immerse ourselves with different kinds of people during our time in high school, and thus we start to gain experience through different kinds of relationships. On this journey towards adulthood, to find our identity we could start to value different things in our lives as opposed to what we were taught by our parents.
He says that he is there to help and he wants his son to take his experiences and learn from them. Through rhetorical questions, he informs about the education he wants his son to have. Carefully, he develops the assertion that it is important to know about a whole topic, not just a little piece of it. This reveals Chesterfield’s value that when his son reaches beyond his peers, he will gain pleasure for being the best educated so far, but what Chesterfield really wants his son to learn is that you really accomplish nothing until you master what your learning. Therefore, Lord Chesterfield strongly develops his ideal values through rhetorical strategies.
The first characterization the reader comes across is the direct description of the children’s traits of character. I quote: “Alan – pushy and masterful like his father; Claire – thoughtful, but fickle and the narrator himself – careful and mercy”. It is very important as throughout the story the children’s actions and utterances are shown like a pattern of their parents’ behavior thus depicting us their upbringing. Alan, the antagonist, is
