This means that if young people want to establish a good character, they must follow their own thoughts and desires, otherwise, they will be just like all other adults.

How did the writer establish this thought?The writer of this sentence is Mark Twain, he wrote this thought in "Advice to Youth."The text was intended to establish advice for American youth, as the name implies, but instead of advising youth to maintain good morals, Twain encouraged young people to be rebellious.This rebellion is advised to bring about social change.

This is because Twain believes that society is not pleasant and if young people follow what that society determines as correct, they will become adults who will form another society exactly the same, for that reason, rebellion, new thinking, and the courage to follow their own thoughts were needed.

Answer from: ousvp21

This quote comes from the text "Advice to Youth" by Mark Twain. In this text, the author claims that he is giving advice to young people. However, the advice that he provides is ironic, and is instead intended to express the idea that a free mind and a rebellious nature are better for youth than a desire to listen to the advice of others. Twain ends with these lines, and the meaning that he wants to convey is that, if you base your life listening to the advice of others, you will end up with a character that is simply the same as that of everyone else.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
