Promptly at 8:00 a. m., the doorbell rang. Letting out another deep sigh, Paul pulled himself up off the couch and walked to the door. Opening it, he discovered a small, shriveled, white-haired man staring up at him with piercing blue eyes. "Mr. Candor?" the man said in a voice that was much larger than he was.

"Uh, no, sir. My father isn't home right now. I can give you his work number if you'd like to call him," replied Paul.

"Mr. Paul Candor is who I'm looking for," said the man. "Is that you?"

"Oh, yes, sir. That's me. You must be my tutor," said Paul, in a voice that didn't hide his skepticism.

"Yes, I'm Mr. Valentine. Let's get to work."

Paul welcomed Mr. Valentine into the house and they sat at the kitchen table and began to work.

When an author introduces a new character in a short story, he or she must quickly establish the character's key traits. In this portion of the narrative, the author misses an opportunity to develop Mr. Valentine. Rewrite this section of the story to better establish Mr. Valentine as a complex character.

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
