Structure and Technique, 585可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品名师归纳总结1. In paragraphs 1 and 2, Gregory mentions several steps he took to impress Helene Tucker. What were the
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

15、rather than merely to tell what happened.

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.

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.

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
