11、y. Why does he include them in his essay.Answer:In order to impress Helene, Gregory brushed his hair, got a handkerchief, washed his socks and shirt every night, shoveled the snow off her walk, tried to make friends with her mother and aunts, and left money on her stoop. He describes those steps in
12、detail because, besides demonstrating his devotion to Helene, they give a clear picture of Gregorsy poverty.2. A metaphor is a suggested comparison. What metaphor does Gregory use in paragraph 5, and what is its purpose. What metaphor does he use in the second sentence of paragraph 7, and what does
13、it mean.Answer:In paragraph 5, Gregory uses the metaphor that he was pregnant to suggest the effects of poverty on him it gave him strange tastes, which pregnant people get. It also filled him as pregnancy fills someone, but with negative things: poverty, dirt, “smells that made people turn away”, a
14、nd so on.In the second sentence of paragraph 7, Gregory uses the metaphor of a flying eagle to represent the movement of money. A picture of an eagle is engraved on one side of a quarter.3. In narrating the incidents in the classroom and in the restaurant, Gregory chooses to provide actual dialogue
15、rather than merely to tell what happened. Why.Answer:By using the exact words spoken by Helene, the teacher, and himself, Gregory gives a very clear picture of what happened by allowing the reader to “experience”it, rather than simply hear a general summary. The dialogue between Helene and the teach
16、er shows Helene as an ideal little student who received approval from the teacher. The dialogue between Gregory and the teacher, however, clearly demonstrates Gregorys eagernessto impress Helene and his unsuccessful, embarrassing attempt to gain the teachserapproval. If Gregory had merely described
17、what had happened, we would have a much less vivid impression of the characters involved.4. At the end of the essay, Gregory shifts his focus from the classroom to the scene involving the wino at the restaurant. What is the connection between this closing scene and the rest of the essay.Answer:In th
18、e body of the essay, Gregory is narrating a time that he was shamed publicly and no one came to his defense. In the closing scene, Gregory realizes that he has done the same thingthat he, too, has witnessed a person being shamed without assisting him. He feels anew kind of “shame”, that of having fa
19、iled to help another man in need.Critical Reading and Discussion, 586可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_1. When Gregory writes, “I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that”paragraph 1, he is using irony an inconsistency between what is expected and what actually occurs. What does he
20、 mean by these two statements. What is the effect of his irony. Answer:Gregory means that although his home life was one of poverty and want, his home was not a place of inhumane values, such as hatred and shame. But at school, which on its surface was a more positive place, he was made to feel hatr
21、ed and shame. The ironic statement intrigues the reader and makes him or her want to know more about what Gregory means.2. What are Gregorys feelings about his teacher. What were your feelings about her as you read this essay. What could the teacher have done or said that wouldnot have made Gregory
22、feel ashamed.Answer:Gregory seems sad and resentful that the teacher did not understand why he misbehaved in class and that she assumedhe was stupid and a troublemaker. But he also wanted her approval badly, as seen by the Community Chest incident and the fact that he got a “big thrill ”out of being
23、 chosen to clean the blackboard. Studentssuggestions about the teacher will vary. One possibility: She could have merely thanked Gregory in class and then spoken to him privately later if she doubted that he could contribute to Community Chest.3. Gregory shows how a childhood incident taught him sha
24、me. What other important lessons does Gregory learn in this essay. Explain.Answer:From paragraph 3, in which Gregory talks about his accomplishments later in life, we can conclude that he learned he could boost his self-esteem through his own efforts.Paragraph 5 shows that from his own experiences,
25、he learned that children who are hungry and poor may feel invisible and so behave in ways that attract attention. From his experience with the wino, he learned that in order to feel good about himself, he would have to start standing up for other people who were shamed.4. At the end of his essay, Gr
26、egory says“, I waited too long to help another man.”Why do you think he waited so long to assist the wino. What are some reasons people do not always help others who are in need for example, ignoring a homeless person seated on the sidewalk. Answer:Gregory probably had many reasons for not helping t
27、he wino sooner: embarrassment at drawing attention to himself, reluctance to part with his hard-earned money, not wanting to get in trouble with Mr. Williams, not knowing the wino and thus feeling the affair wasn t his business, etc. People have similar reasons for not helping others in need. In add
28、ition, people who ignore a homeless man may feel that the mans problemsmaybe including substance abuse or mental illness are so big and deep-rooted that they are not qualified to help him in any effective way.可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_Thesis-and-Support OutlineThesis:Living poor was, for the author, a
