This passage is taken from a letter written by a father to his son.

DEAR BOY, Bath, October the 4th, O. S. 1746.

Though I employ so much of my time in writing to you, I confess I have often my doubts whether it is to any purpose. I know how unwelcome advice generally is; I know that those who want it most like it and follow it least; and I know, too, that the advice of parents, more particularly, is ascribed to the moroseness, the imperiousness, or the garrulity of old age. But then, on the other hand, I flatter myself, that as your own reason (though too young as yet to suggest much to you of itself) is, however, strong enough to enable you both to judge of and receive plain truths: I flatter myself, I say, that your own reason, young as it is, must tell you, that I can have no interest but yours in the advice I give you; and that, consequently, you will at least weigh and consider it well: in which case, some of it will, I hope, have its effect. Do not think that I mean to dictate as a parent; I only mean to advise as a friend, and an indulgent one too: and do not apprehend that I mean to check your pleasures; of which, on the contrary, I only desire to be the guide, not the censor. Let my experience supply your want of it, and clear your way in the progress of your youth of those thorns and briers which scratched and disfigured me in the course of mine. I do not, therefore, so much as hint to you how absolutely dependent you are upon me; that you neither have nor can have a shilling in the world but from me; and that, as I have no womanish weakness for your person, your merit must and will be the only measure of my kindness. I say, I do not hint these things to you, because I am convinced that you will act right upon more noble and generous principles; I mean, for the sake of doing right, and out of affection and gratitude to me.

I have so often recommended to you attention and application to whatever you learn, that I do not mention them now as duties, but I point them out to you as conducive, nay, absolutely necessary, to your pleasures; for can there be a greater pleasure than to be universally allowed to excel those of one's own age and manner of life? And, consequently, can there be anything more mortifying than to be excelled by them? In this latter case, your shame and regret must be greater than anybody's, because everybody knows the uncommon care which has been taken of your education, and the opportunities you have had of knowing more than others of your age. I do not confine the application which I recommend, singly to the view and emulation of excelling others (though that is a very sensible pleasure and a very warrantable pride); but I mean likewise to excel in the thing itself: for, in my mind, one may as well not know a thing at all, as know it but imperfectly. To know a little of anything, gives neither satisfaction nor credit, but often brings disgrace or ridicule.



In the second sentence of the first paragraph (reproduced below), the writer is considering deleting the bold portion, adjusting the punctuation as necessary.

I know how unwelcome advice generally is; I know that those who want it most like it and follow it least; and I know, too, that the advice of parents, more particularly, is ascribed to the moroseness, the imperiousness, or the garrulity of old age.

Should the writer keep or delete the bold text?

Keep it, because it establishes the premise for the writer's argument which is developed throughout the letter.
Keep it, because it confirms the writer's claims that parents should not give advice to unwilling recipients.
Delete it, because it contradicts the accusatory tone the writer continues throughout the rest of the letter.
Delete it, because it negates the premise for the writer's argument which is developed throughout the letter.
Keep it, because it previews the self-deprecating tone the writer continues throughout the rest of the letter.

The writer should keep the bold text. It lays out the reason for the writer's argument, which is created through the letter.

The option (A) is correct.

By acknowledging that advice is generally unwelcome and often disregarded, the writer sets the stage for discussing the importance of their own advice and their hopes that the recipient will consider it.

The subsequent statements about the advice of parents being attributed to negative qualities further strengthen the writer's position and their attempt to offer advice as a friend rather than a controlling parent. Keeping the bold text aligns with the overall tone and purpose of the letter, highlighting the writer's understanding of potential resistance to advice.

''Nacirema Ritual Writing Assignment

In “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema,” Horace Miner writes about familiar American
medical and hygiene customs, but uses the language of an anthropologist studying an
unfamiliar culture to make us take a second look at what is “normal” for us.
This article was written in 1956, and although we still do most of these things, it’s pretty dated. It doesn’t say anything about the internet, or even TV.

Your assignment is to write about another “ritual of the Nacirema”--something
commonplace in modern society, but from the point of view of an outsider. (Using this
mindset is called defamiliarization).
Imagine you are an anthropologist and the Nacirema are a remote culture that has just
recently made contact with the outside world, or perhaps that you are a space alien
gathering information about Earth. What seems strange or arbitrary to you? Write 1 or
more paragraphs describing a recognizable practice or custom from your everyday life,
using a defamiliarized tone as Miner does.
Requirements:
1 or more paragraphs in length
Uses the style of the article we read (defamiliarization)
Describes a common/recognizable custom or practice in modern life

Which sentence in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence indicates that the colonists did not wish to remain hostile toward Great
Britain in the future?
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and
settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to
disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of
justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the
rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
