11、s 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 it meanIn paragraph 5, Gregory uses the metaphor that he was pregnant to suggest the effects of poverty on himit gave him strange tastes, which pregnant people get. It

12、 also filled him （as pregnancy fills someone）, but with negative things: poverty, dirt, “smells that made people turn away,” and 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

13、 of a quarter）.3. In narrating the incidents in the classroom and in the restaurant, Gregory chooses to provide actual dialogue rather than merely to tell what happened. WhyBy using the exact words spoken by Helene, the teacher, and himself, Gregory gives a very clear picture of what happened by all

14、owing the reader to “experience” it, rather than simply hear a general summary. The dialogue between Helene and the teacher shows Helene as an ideal little student who received approval from the teacher. The dialogue between Gregory and the teacher, however, clearly demonstrates Gregorys eagerness t

15、o impress Helene and his unsuccessful, embarrassing attempt to gain the teachers approval. If Gregory had merely described 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 inv

16、olving the wino at the restaurant. What is the connection between this closing scene and the rest of the essayIn the 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 h

17、e, too, has witnessed a person being shamed without assisting him. He feels a new kind of “shame,” that of having failed to help another man in need.Critical Reading and Discussion,5861.

18、s using ironyan inconsistency between what is expected and what actually occurs. What does he mean by these two statements What is the effect of his ironyGregory 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

19、at school, which on its surface was a more positive place, he was made to feel hatred 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 thi

20、s essay What could the teacher have done or said that wouldnot have made Gregory feel ashamedGregory seems sad and resentful that the teacher did not understand why he misbehaved in class and that she assumed he was stupid and a troublemaker. But he also wanted her approval badly, as seen by the Com

21、munity Chest incident and the fact that he got a “big thrill” out of being chosen to clean the blackboard. Students suggestions 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

22、to Community Chest.3. Gregory shows how a childhood incident taught him shame. What other important lessons does Gregory learn in this essay Explain.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 throug

23、h his own efforts. Paragraph 5 shows that from his own experiences, 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 standin

24、g up for other people who were shamed.4. At the end of his essay, Gregory 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

25、 sidewalk）Gregory probably had many reasons for not helping the 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 wasnt his business, etc. People

26、 have similar reasons for not helping others in need. In addition, people who ignore a homeless man may feel that the mans problemsmaybe including substance abuse or mental illnessare so big and deep-rooted that they are not qualified to help him in any effective way.Thesis-and-Support OutlineThesis
