Demonstration Paragraph for October 10 Homework

If people are good-What good do they do? If people are flawed, how and to what extent are they flawed? (Question from “Theme”)

In Dorothy Canfield Fisher’s “Heyday of the Blood,” characters are presented as flawed to some extent, but the good outweighs their flaws. Flaws are most evident in Gran’ther Pendleton, portrayed as a “rebellious, unreasonable, whimsical old madcap,” seemingly unafraid of danger, even if it results in conflicts with Professor Mallory’s “anxious, dutiful father.” Despite being “naughty,” the old man has a positive effect on young Joey Mallory, teaching him to live life with a “whoop.” Clearly, Fisher intends to demonstrate that, in life, being careful may not always be the best; in fact, being incautious might be more fun!—99 words; first draft
