SENTENCE VARIETY- being able to write different styles of sentences

E12 Prov Exam paragraph

The father is attempting to advise his son on how he may negotiate all of the complex situations he is likely to run across as a grown man. He advises his son to be very flexible in how he deals with what life throws at him- on one hand, he must be able to be “a rock”; on the other, he must be “soft loam”. The key for his son is to develop the wisdom to know which approach is appropriate. He also warns his son that the “quest of lucre” will leave him emotionally empty, and to seek instead only “a few easy needs”, meaning the necessities of life. Also, the father counsels his son that must not be afraid to take risks and make mistakes, even be a “fool”, so long as he learns from those mistakes. The father advises the son to be honest with himself and to “tell himself no lies” although he may occasionally be not completely forthright with others through necessity. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of rest and “lazy days” where he may think deeply without taking action. Finally, he tells his son to be independent of mind and true to himself, so that he may find his own strengths in which he is a “true natural” and excel at them. All in all, the father’s advice to the son will prepare him to be a well-adjusted, independent man who is able to survive in a complex and unpredictable world.

GRABBER- written last

Islands can be retreats, but they can also be prisons. The narrators in “I Am a Rock” and “No Man is an Island” have very different feelings about their places in society.

Although both are written in first person point-of-view, the “Rock” narrator is completely inward-looking whereas the “Island” narrator is outward-looking. For example, while the “Rock” narrator speaks only about himself and his own feelings, the “Island” narrator extends his thoughts to include the reader. He talks about “thee” and “thine”, meaning ‘you’ and ‘your’. The “Rock” narrator talks only about himself as in when he says “I touch no one”.

Another obvious contrast is the narrators’ use of the word ‘island’. They both use the word to mean a body of land separated from the mainland in a geographical sense. Also, both use it as a metaphor for an individual’s relationship to greater humanity. However, they have opposite understandings of how human beings can exist within a larger society. The “Rock” narrator claims to be an island in a metaphorical sense, and the “Island” narrator knows that a human being cannot be an island ”entire of itself”. The first has the island for protection and self-preservation; the second sees the island as an impossible place for a person to survive alone.

The most compelling contrast is the narrators’ diametric views on their place within society. The “Rock” narrator has “no need of friendship”, yet the “Island” narrator is “involved in mankind.” The “Rock” narrator uses an image of separation in the “fortress” surrounded by “walls”; the “Island” narrator, on the other hand, evokes an image of community in the “the bell” which rings from a church steeple- am ancient symbol of communion and gathering.

In the end, the “Rock” narrator purports to be alone while the “Island” narrator revels in his humanity. The “Rock” narrator is in a city however- how long will continue to separate himself from others when he gets hungry and there is no food in his fridge. CLINCHER
