Description

This is a large part of the project, so I've included ALL of the previous parts of the project. In order, they go sections 1-4, reflection, prompt, then the outline. 1-prompt are complete, and I need the outline done. I'll include the shining doc in the question after it's been bid on (because studypool only allows 5 files)

I'd really appreciate it to be correct the first time around, I only get one redo on this to make corrections. Without the actual tables, breaks, and everything a 3 paragraph whatever would probably only be 3/4ths a page at double space, but I'll list as two so there's no confusion if it runs on. The teacher requests the second thesis statement on the prompt to be used as a theme idea because it was right on the money. Thanks :)

I'm terrible at English, math is all I really know, please help. sorry for the low budget for the time, I only have $16 (StudyPool comish 10% and such) but you basically have till tomorrow 8AM USA Central time to do it thanks

Novel Project This project will build on itself as you work through this unit. You will be adding to each section as you complete lesson notes and your reading. Please be sure you are working to the end of each section and submitting your work in a timely manner. ***Please watch this video to understand how to properly annotate your novel using post-it notes. Section One: This section will be based on lessons 3.01 and 3.02 (reference the lesson and your notes from these sections to help you better complete this grid) Chapter Synopses: You will need to sum up the important events that happened in your chapter. These synopses will not exceed seven sentences. Chapter Number:1 Chapter Synopsis Jack Torrance has been hired as a caretaker for the Overlook hotel; an isolated place in Colorado outside of Sidewinder. Cynical Stuart Ullman is telling him the history of the hotel, and a tale of cabinfever inspired murder. Ullman is a bit proud of the hotel’s final reach into breaking even/making profit, and not proud of Jack’s history with alcohol. Chapter Number:2 Chapter Synopsis Jack’s son Danny and his mother are talking. Danny’s broken his glider wing, and his mother wants to fix it. She’s making tea as he watches for his father. She’s an old soul worrying for Danny, too young to comprehend much, his mother’s sadness included. Chapter Number: 3 Chapter Synopsis It starts off with a flashback to two years ago; Danny’s three and makes a mess of his father’s room. The place is torn to shreds, and in a drunken rage, Jack breaks Danny’s arm, an act that haunts him forever. After the book snaps back into the present, Jack is led along and showed the ropes of the boiler room and the plumbing, all the while being told some grotesque stories of the hotel’s history with death from the maintenance man, Bill Watson. Chapter Number:4 Chapter Synopsis Here the author puts us inside of Danny’s nightmarish hallucinations given to him by his imaginary “friend.” Tony (the hallucinated one) puts words like ‘poison,’ ‘danger,’ and his absolute most hated ‘redrum,’ in his counterpart’s head as he has what seems to be a nightmare he has as he waits for his father. (If you read more than four chapters this week, please paste more synopses below. If you read less than four chapters, summarize the ones you did read) Imagery: Please find three different passages in your reading that evoked strong imagery. Passage from text Senses Engaged: of the 5 senses, which one(s) were used here to create strong imagery? Please make sure you explain which words from the passage helped engage the senses you list. Image of annotation in your text “Jack smiled, a big, wide, PR smile.” “Big” “wide” and “PR” makes me envision it all too perfectly; like he has experience as someone who has to work with the public, such as a teller, or salesman. You know it’s a bit fake and flashy (this case excluded, he uses it frequently past this point though) and you can see through it immediately; Mr. King does capture this perfectly. “The whole building smelled of sour age,” Scent is used here, reminds me of dust and a kind of stale air you’d get about nowhere else. “a word that always appeared in his mind as a sign painted in red letters which were covered with hissing, poisonous snakes” This part touches up on the visual centers of our brains, and I think, as stated in my comment, is a nearperfect representation of how i remember imagining some of my fears at a younger age like such. Hit the nail on the head, Mr King Symbolism: Please identify one image emerging from your text that resembles a symbol. Passage from text Symbol Meaning of symbol: Based on the text, what do you think this symbol represents, and why do you say this? Danny slept like a corpse “like a corpse” Image of annotation in your text It represents how deeply he sleeps (I’m at a loss, a simile can be used for a symbol, right? kinda?) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section Two: This section will be based on lessons 3.03 and 3.04 (reference the lesson and your notes from these sections to help you better complete this grid) Chapter Synopses: You will need to sum up the important events that happened in your chapter. These synopses will not exceed seven sentences. Chapter Number:5: Phonebooth Chapter Synopsis Jack and Danny drive to a shopping center and Jack gets the Reader's Digest, a newspaper, and Danny a Baby Ruth. After Jack receives his change he tries to use the phonebooth to attempt to call up his old friend from the school board, Al Shockley; the only man who stood up for him at the vote that led to his resignation. Al doesn’t pick up for a considerable time, and all the while Jack is having a gut-wrenching flashback to his past days, and a story the two shared when they were heavy drunkards. Danny and Al were driving home from a bar when they hit a motorcycle left in the middle of the road. It was that night they had quit drinking, and that night he decided his life was over for a while. He grabbed his .38 from the closet and thought about things for a while, and at dawn reconsidered to put it up. For the next good while, Wendy watched Jack being shocked sober, where she could swear she could smell scotch on his breath, in disbelief at his lucidity. The chapter ends after Al picks up the phone and they catch up, hang up, and eventually Jack and Danny leave. Chapter Number:6; Night Thoughts Chapter Synopsis Here we get a glimpse of Wendy’s thoughts throughout the years. Her mother kicked her out, her husband drank, her husband had killed the love, and the only reason they stayed together was for Danny. The chapter shows us what all had happened through Wendy’s perspective through things like the talk of divorce. It’s pretty clear by the end of the chapter she’s hoping the hotel will bring better times. Chapter Number:7; in another bedroom Chapter Synopsis Here we have another short “shining” of Danny’s as he’s hallucinating seeing Tony at a gas station. On top of being a probably pretty imaginative 5 year old, Danny’s mind seems to warp things around, and shift them into monsters or whatever sinister. His hallucinations are a bit cryptic, as they seem to have something a little more obscured every now and then; this time he was awoken by someone saying “Take your medicine!, I’ll find you!” and the flashing of the word “redrum,” just a bit odd. Chapter Number:8; a view of the overlook Chapter Synopsis Here details a bit of the trip to the Overlook; specifically how the Volkswagen barely could make it to the peak. Wendy was noticeably mortified by how the car sputtered and they were crawling at a mere 5 miles an hour by the time they reached the top. At the turnout at the peak, the family could see for miles, and see the hotel just a short stretch away. From the top you can look down and nearly see yourself falling endlessly, something that could’ve probably brought nausea to the fear stricken Wendy. Danny was in little better shape as he could see the hotel was sinister; whatever redrum was, he knew this was it. I suspect Tony-given premonitions are going to reveal something more later on. (If you read more than four chapters this week, please paste more synopses below. If you read less than four chapters, summarize the ones you did read) Setting: Here you are going to explain the setting of your book. You will need to include three elements of setting. You may want to reference lesson 3.03 to help you better understand the many elements that can be used to help create a strong, believable setting. Setting Element They were beautiful mountains but they were hard. She did not think they would forgive many mistakes. What this tells you: Please explain what the information you have included helps you better understand about your story. It puts the scene into perspective, and gives a pretty good image of the scene. Makes me feel kind of uneasy myself. Image of annotation in your text Half an hour ago they had passed another sign that Daddy said was very important. This sign said ENTERING SIDEWINDER PASS, and Daddy said that sign was as far as the snowplows went in the wintertime. After that the road got too steep. In the winter the road was closed from the little town of Sidewinder, which they had gone through just before they got to that sign, all the way to Buckland, Utah. We know the overlook is pretty isolated, even during the summer season, but this really solidifies it. Earlier they talked of using snowmobiles incase of emergency, but if that’s as far as they go in, it makes you wonder how bad things could really get in an emergency. Makes you think about it. Not foreshadowing/foreboding, just makes you think about it. Mr. Ullman looked pained. "Suppose your son or your wife tripped on the stairs and fractured his or her skull, Mr. Torrance. Would you think the place was cut off then?" Jack saw the point. A snowmobile running at top speed could get you down to Sidewinder in an hour and a half ... maybe. A helicopter from the Parks Rescue Service could get up here in three hours ... under optimum conditions. In a blizzard it would never even be able to lift off and you couldn't hope to run a snowmobile at top speed, even if you dared take a seriously injured person out into temperatures that might be twenty-five below-or forty-five below, if you added in the wind chill factor. This is just all the more sobering truth of how critical emergencies may hurt someone in this situation. It’s pretty descriptive and not much more needs to be said. Plot: Here you are going to explain the plot of your book, thus far. Plot Element: You will need to explain what from the story created each of the listed elements of plot. What you learned: Please explain how the information you have included helped you better understand the story Exposition: Jack Torrence getting the job at the Overlook It’s just starting and we have little more information other than it’s eerie reputation. I’ve shown a couple cases of ‘scandals’ that have happened over the years Conflict: Jack is a malfunctioning alcoholic, his marriage is falling part and has a temper like an “animal on a frayed leash’ Rising Action: Upon the mountain peak, Danny can feel that his premonitions are telling him this is whatever REDRUM is. Whatever’s happening Image of annotation in your text is going to happen here. The hotel. Characters: Now it is time to explore characters you have encountered thus far. Character Type Name Who is this?: Please explain who this character is in the story, at this point. Image of annotation in your text Protagonist Jack Torrance Jack is the alcoholic father of Danny, who ends up attempting to kill his family from “cabin fever” Antagonist Jack Torrance Jack is the alcoholic father of Danny and husband of Wendy, who ends up attempting to kill his family from “cabin fever” I haven’t gotten that far yet, and don’t have much of an annotation for it yet. Main Character: Must be different than above characters Danny Torrance Danny is the 5 year old son of Jack, has premonitions and the ability to communicate with his mind. We don’t see the full effect of this until Danny talks to Mr Halloran, but we know that he has the ability to see into the future. Minor Character: Must be different than above characters Al Shockley Al Shockley is the old drinking buddy of Jacks, both gone sober after a night where they hit a bike in the middle of the road. He’s on the board of directors at the old school and the hotel, and was the only one who stood up for Jack when he went off at George Hatfield. Characterization Types: Here you are going to think about everything you know about each character above, and expand on their roles in the story thus far. Name Characterization: Round, Flat, Dynamic, or Static Justify: Why do you say that this character is round, flat, dynamic, or static? Jack Torrance Dynamic He slowly (or quickly in the film) switched over into a crazed murderer; He’s the center of the story, the reason the family moved to Colorado, the reason the family nearly got killed, the reason for all of this. He’s the sole driving point for the story. Danny Torrance Flat Danny is a bit of a flat character in that he has Image of annotation in your text: This should be a piece from the text that supports the justification you provided. I’m not at the point of the fights yet, but ill add the the ability to see into the future and talk to others but.. That’s it… as far as I’ve read, the most significant thing he does is succeed in help killing his father, and that’s not even in what I’ve read so far. “for danny” bit from earlier I haven’t even read the part where the fights happen, she’s pretty irrelevant until then as much more than a filler character. Wendy Torrance Flat Wendy is about the same story as Danny; nothing significant. Jack may as well have tried to kill Halloran, Ullman, or anyone in the hotel. She does little more than push Jack over the edge and kill him later on with Danny. The only reason I list Danny as a major character is he’s what holds the marriage together. Al Shockley Dynamic/Round(?) Al changes his way and goes sober after Jack and him hit a bike in the middle of the night and change for the better. He’s also a rounded character in that he’ll help out a friend in need: he got Jack the job, and was the one who voted to have him stay at the prep school. here marks the turning point for both Shockley and Torrance Direct Characterization: Here you are going to pull two examples of direct characterization for the protagonist. Image of annotation in your text Explain: What the annotation reveals about character Discuss: How does this revelation help you better understand character? This is just more fodder for how much he hates Ullman, and how tired he grows of his personality It speaks to me more that he’s potentially irritable, and maybe a bit easy-to-anger, who knows what he'll do in the future when something like cabin fever sets in? Here we can directly see how Jack DOES feel hard feelings from Ullman, as it’s a mutual hate relationship. It shows that he will flash his PR grin just to spite, or to say things without saying them so he can try to use his PR smile to manage “PR relations Indirect Characterization: Here you are going to pull two examples of indirect characterization for the antagonist. Image of annotation in your text Explain: What the annotation reveals about character Discuss: How does this revelation help you better understand character? It shows that when he had his sanity, he was loving and caring. He loves his family, and would do anything for them, but sometimes he makes mistakes, and instantly wishes he could undo them. I think it reveals he’s all the more human, and imperfect. He wants to do well, but intoxication weighs on his decision making. Its stated nowhere, but I like to think that if something’s hard to remember, you’re trying to remember it, meaning he has SOME grip on what’s happening, and is lost in intention, but has a natural grip on morality and reality, further perpetuating the idea that he loves his family. It shows to me that he’s caring, and at a sober mind loves his family, but alcohol makes him do things he’ll regret. He sure talks later like he swallowed a rock when explaining it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section Three: This section will be based on lessons 3.05 and 3.06 (reference the lesson and your notes from these sections to help you better complete this grid) Chapter Synopses: You will need to sum up the important events that happened in your chapter. These synopses will not exceed seven sentences. Chapter Number:9 Checking it Out Chapter Synopsis The hotel’s last day is very hyperactive, and this is the day Mr Ullman finally meets the rest of the Torrances. Jack and Stuart take Wendy and Danny around to show them the place’s ins-and-outs. At the front desk a lady was being quite irate when they told her they didn’t accept her credit card anymore, and Ullman had to pull her aside. After they talk and as she’s leaving with her things, Danny gets a distinct lewd thought from the woman, thats meaning went over his head. This is the first time we see the Shining tell him thoughts in the book, but most certainly not the first time it’s ever happened. Chapter Number:10 Chapter Synopsis Here the family meets Dick Hallorann, the hotel chef. Wendy’s been given instruction to keep the kitchen clean and the rats out. Hallorann and Danny seem to share a conversation without even speaking, what Hallorann in the movie calls the shining (openly, not just through thinking). Jack and Wendy are a bit confused as to how Mr Hallorann knows Danny’s nickname doc, and how Danny knew Hallorann’s name, Dick. Chapter Number:11 The Shining Chapter Synopsis Here Mr Hallorann has Danny help him take his stuff to his car to get him alone to talk about a power he felt in him. He asked him if he could read others and they talked about the shining, or telepathy/precognition. Chapter Number:12 The Grand Tour Chapter Synopsis Wendy wants to know what Danny and Halloran were talking about and his shrug reminds her so much of Jack. The employees look really happy, excited to be leaving the Overlook for winter vacation. Danny has a hallucination of blood on the wall, and after remembering to follow Hallorann’s advice and look away, it’s gone to be back again, making him want to scream. He can’t let his parents know though, so he remains silent. After touring the rest of the hotel, and Ullman rushing them past room 217, they go down to the boiler room. Ullman isn't happy to see that Watson's still here, but he wants to personally remind Jack to check the boiler at regular intervals, to be very careful not to let the pressure get up too high. After this everyone leaves and the previously quiet, now silence-struck overlook makes Danny feel a bit lonely (If you read more than four chapters this week, please paste more synopses below. If you read less than four chapters, summarize the ones you did read) Point of View: It is time to examine the point of view that you story is told from, and the impact of this. Point of view that your story is told from: (first-person, third limited, third omniscient) Third person omniscient Please include two images of annotation that show the point of view your story is told from Image of annotation in your text Explain: How does this annotation show the point of view you have identified? From here we can see into the thoughts of a character, which rules out third person limited, and since it’s not “I thought: Officious little prick.” we can also rule out first person. We can also see into Danny’s thoughts and wants, so it’s DEFINITELY not a first person just worded oddly; it’s third person omnicient. What are two benefits of your story being told from the point of view you identified? Benefit Why is this a benefit? Seeing all the thoughts of characters From here we can see into the minds of characters, and we can feel what they feel, think what they think. From here you can see jack turn into a madman, terrified Danny and Wendy, etc, maybe like the reader has the Shining... Authorial voice The author's voice has no limits in the use of language; in third person an author is trapped as one person, in third limited they cant see into a person, in 3rd omniscient, they know all What is one limitation to the point of view your story is told from? Limitation personality Why is this a limitation? This is more of a me thing, but I love first person when the author is telling it like a story; humans talk to each other, and that kind of dynamic really makes an entrancing story. Theme: While you may not be done reading your book yet, you should see some emerging themes, and it is time to discuss and identify these. Emerging Theme Why: Why do you believe this Stated or Implied?: Is Violence You don’t want to be a character in this house… assuming you’re not a masochist.. Every 5 minutes someone appears to be getting hurt. I’d list more if there were many more memorable. implied The Supernatural Danny, Halloran, and a few others possess ESP, called The Shining in this story. This is characterized by the ability to know more than what one should normally be able to implied(?) is a theme in you story? this theme stated or implied? Image of annotation in your text Novel Project: Section Four You will need to complete this worksheet based on information from your novel. If you have not yet finished reading your book, you can still complete this worksheet. You will need to finish reading your novel before you start the assignments for next week. Novel Theme Two images of annotation in your text, that illustrate theme Prevailing Theme socio economic classes 1. 2. Character Actions Two images of annotation in your text, that illustrate character actions that help convey theme (One example should be from the first half of novel and one example from last half of novel) Character Name 1. 2. 1. 2. Character Words Two images of annotation in your text, that illustrate character words that help convey theme (One example should be from the first half of novel and one example from last half of novel) Character Name Lloyd/Jack (Lloyd is a figment of Jack’s imagination after all, making him a part of Jack 1. 2. Delbert Grady 1. 2. Events Events Image of annotation in your text, that illustrate events that help convey theme (One example should be from the first half of novel and one example from last half of novel) Conflicts Conflicts Type of Conflict (Identify is the conflict is internal or external. If the conflict is external, please identify the type of external Image of annotation in your text, that illustrate conflicts that help convey theme (One example should be from conflict) Danny is shown multiple times precognitively redrum and the phrase “take your medicine.” Someone/thing is after him. A grey area; at this point we don’t know what REDRUM is (Jack trying to kill his family), but at this point it’s Tony- a manifestation of Danny’s shining is presenting it to him. This could be Man vs self, man vs man, or man vs supernatural (if that’s a thing? Man vs nature?) Jack is battling his demons, and they drive him to a point where he is in conflict with Halloran, Danny, and Wendy; he’s set to take out any threats to his descent into madness. A mix of both? Man vs self and man vs man the first half of novel and one example from last half of novel) Literary Devices Two images of annotation in your text, that illustrate literary devices that help convey theme (One example should be from the first half of novel and one example from last half of novel) Literary Device 1. Imagery 1. 2. 1. 2. Novel Reflection Once you have finished reading your novel, you will need to complete this worksheet. By now, if you followed your reading schedule you made, you should be done reading your novel. 1. What is the overarching theme of your novel? Socioeconomic classes/hierarchy 2. How do you know this is the theme? (Use passages from your text to help show your answers) “The hallway walls were gouged and marked with crayons, grease pencil, spray paint. The stairs were steep and splintery. The whole building smelled of sour age, and what sort of place was this for Danny after the small neat brick house in Stovington?” This statement from the book shows how his new class in the world is much lower in a run down home, as opposed to the previous life; he’s in a ghetto where all he really appreciates here is his father, he doesn’t want to play, it’s no place for a kid. It matters because it shows us how a simple change as a scene (due to the loss of Jack’s job) can affect a character’s life drastically. 3. What do at least two characters from your novel do to help convey this theme? Character Action How does this convey the theme? Mr. Ullman A patronizing little smile, ready to explain as soon as Jack admitted his ignorance (P g. 10). This action conveys the theme of social economic classes by portraying the difference in the level of education between Mr. Ullman & Jack; Stuart is “pertly” tight and officious, while Jack is supposedly more “ignorant.” (at least in Ullman’s eyes) It’s relevant because it affects characters’ interactions at the social level. Grady Drinking too much cheap whisky (P g. 9). This conveys the theme of through the illustration of Grady’s downfall and its cause. It shows how a poor man like Grady would prefer to keep stock of cheaper alcohol, as luxury wouldn’t be much of an option. It shows us how ingrained money is in our lives. Even after a man is (You will need to include a page number referencing where this takes place) dead, he is judged by others in his purchase choices. 4. What do at least two characters say to help convey this theme? Character Words/Thoughts (You will need to include a page number referencing where this takes place) How does this convey the theme? Danny All shot to s***.' (P g. 13) The theme is conveyed through these words since they show how kids have been brought up in an environment that tolerates/does not teach the indecency of vulgar language. Watson Say, you really are a college fella aren't you? Talk just like a book. I admire that, as long as the fella ain't one of those fairy-boys. Lots of em are. (P g 20) The vernacular conveys the differences between those in low class who are not learned & those who are “learned” 5. What are at least two events that occur in your novel that help to convey the theme? Event (You will need to include a page number referencing where this takes place) How does this convey the theme? Long trips (P g 48) The fear of being stranded by the road side while on this trips shows the socioeconomic status of Jack & his family who had no reliable means of transportation Wedding (P g 40) The year the Jacks wedding took place is highlighted as the best year in comparison to their current state of life illustrating how the socio-economic status of Jack has changed with time. 6. Identify and explain at least two literary devices that the author uses in the text to help convey the theme Lit Device (If you need help remembering types of devices, reference your lesson notes) Passage from text demonstrating device How does this convey the theme? (You will need to include a page number referencing where this takes place) Imagery “Your money is no good here.”(P g 248) The passage separates illusion from the real world with regard to what Jack wishes life should be like; money has no intrinsic value in his fantasy, and is not a necessity. Metaphor Mr. Ullman looked pained. "Suppose your son or your wife tripped on the stairs and fractured his or her skull, Mr. Torrance. Would you think the place was cut off then?" In this case being cut off shows how socio economic status isolate others from accessing the much needed basic needs. 7. Identify and explain at least two conflicts that take place in your novel that help to convey the theme Type of Conflict (If you need help remembering types of devices, reference your lesson notes) Participants in Conflict (If conflict is between characters, list their names. If it is between character and force, include character and type of force, etc.) Passage from text demonstrating conflict (You will need to include a page number referencing where this takes place) How does this convey the theme? Man vs self Danny Come out! Came out, you little s***! Take your medicine! Crash. Crash. Crash. Splintering wood. A bellow of rage and satisfaction. REDRUM. Coming.(Pg 23) The conflict shows how individuals in this set up find it hard to live in this environment Man vs self and man vs man Jack In the caretaker's apartment, Jack The conflict shows how individuals in Torrance's head jerked around at the high, wasp-like buzz of the approaching engine, and suddenly began to move laboriously toward the hallway again. The b**** wasn't important now. The b**** could wait. Now it was this dirty n*****'s turn. This dirty, interfering n***** with his nose in where it didn't belong. First him and then His son. (Pg 292) this set up find it hard to live (I’m really running out of ideas on how to stretch this theme thing out) Prompt Now it is time to start working on a paper, based on the theme of your novel. You must base this paper on the novel you chose to read. Please pay attention to what you are being asked, the majority of evidence you will need to support your ideas has already been gathered and reflected on in previous worksheets. Use all of your work concerning your novel to help you through the assignments that follow. Prompt: Write a well organized essay that examines the theme of your choice novel. You will address the theme by discussing how the author uses conflict, characters, events, and/or literary devices to establish and illustrate the theme. To be successful in your essay you will choose TWO of the elements (conflict, characters, events, literary devices) to discuss in your essay. Look back at the Novel Reflection worksheet. Which elements do you have the best evidence and explanations for? Those are the elements you should consider working with. 1. What are the two elements from your novel that you will discuss, as related to theme? Element Give an explanation about how this element helped to show the theme in your novel Characters Actions as well as words of the characters helped to show the theme of social economic classes. For instance the action of Grady of drinking too much cheap whisky showed that there were characters in the novel who were regarded as those belong to the lower class. Events This element helped to show the theme of social economic classes by highlighting how those belonging in the lower class would before during certain events. For instance during long trips Jack’s family would worry about whether they will be able to reach where they were going with little to no problems along the way 2. Please review this presentation on Thesis Statements. Once you have a better understanding of thesis statements, please complete the grid below Subject Theme of your choice novel: Socioeconomic Topic Elements used by author to develop theme: conflict classes I chose this because we see just how embedded money and its worth is, as it is repercussed throughout the book. Characters portray this through how their status in life; it causes Ullman, a posh man to judge and look down upon the poor, and it causes Jack to fantasize he’s a king from want of what he lacks. It makes up a LARGE part of our worth. characters and Research Question How did author use elements to develop theme? Thesis Statement One Through characters words and actions onset by conflicts (Jack’s delusions of the Gold Room, The big changes in their life based on the setting, the demeanor/outlook of the characters) King has presented Rich VS Poor as the main theme of the novel. (DO NOT copy my thesis statement from example) Thesis Statement Two (Must be different phrasing/arrangement than first statement) Despite the fact that social economic status of a person does not define who they ought to be in future, their current state of life has far reaching implication to an individual with regard to whether the future they wish for will become a reality or not: Jack has fantasies of lux parties, but he is a lowly drunk caretaker, and is destined to stay one forever.
