The essay inspired by “WHITCHE’S LOAVES”
I’ve read a peace from O. Henry’s “WHITCHE’S LOAVES” and became rather confused by the things, that took place. I’d define the voice of the narrator as quite engaging and ironic. I really like the way he describes Miss Martha: “… and she possessed two false teeth and sympathetic heart.” You can also find irony through the phrase like that: “There was no language of edibles…” and so on. And it’s worth mentioning the way, that the author describes the customer’s language: “bicture”, “blease” or “bairspictive”: it sounds very natural for a German! And I’d like to add a few words about the story plot. Could you predict the end of the story? I guess no. Neither could I. The plot is unpredictable! Though the end is rather absurd, but it’s a pity at the same time. A sincere desire of a sympathetic heart to help a poor artist turned into real harm for the artist’s last three months work! So there is nothing to say besides that, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” (from Saint Bernard of Clairvaux).
“The path to the Hell is made up from good intentions”. exellent! when I wrote my essay I tried to remember some phrazes like this one to conclude))
ОтветитьУдалитьVery good work, friend!
Maxim..) Honestly, it was your essay, that inspired me to write my own one!)
ОтветитьУдалитьYour essay is very good! You've succeeded to express your idea in a very interesting way but there are some gr. mistakes:
ОтветитьУдалитьbecome rather confused - tence
the way author - article
customer’s language - article
sounds very naturally - it sounds natural
Sincerely desire of sympathetic heart to help poor artist - 3 article mistakes + adj. form.

ОтветитьУдалитьThank you for checking!)
ОтветитьУдалитьBut I'm still not confident enough in using the pronoun "that" (marked with blue color). Should I use "which" there?
"that" can be omitted )
ОтветитьУдалитьA sincere desire of a sympathetic heart to help a poor artist.
sincere - adj
a sympathetic heart - we mention it for the first time
a poor artist - because the poor means all the poor
people in the world
didn't notice:
The path to the Hell is made up from good intentions”. -
