writing 13 of paragraph 24 to 25

other other doesn

From the 24th paragraph, I didn’t know show off has a wild range. It is various from very gross to very subtle. They are two typical kinds of show off. And they are common in our daily life. The gross showing off maybe like someone who had been elected into senate successfully, while the author’s husband fired the author an egg is one of very subtle showing off. The needs (need)of showing off also have different kinds, some are needy and some are nasty. Different people have different view which attribute to different needs. But showoffs will assume the risk of being thought immodest. Then a part of this stopped me. It was “of being harshly viewed as … well… showoffs”. There the “of” is “the risk of” according to the whole sentence. I didn’t know whether it means “the showoffs are harshly viewed as a good actor who performance well” or other meanings. The “well” here, if I choose the first explanation, means the people who are good at showing off. And words which the Lord chesterfield wrote to his sons also confused me. I guessed that he meant if we want other’s appreciation to our showing off, the only way we could use is to be modest. Actually, I didn’t absolutely agree with him. Sometimes we view someone’s modest as he or she want to let other people know that he or she doesn’t like to compete with(others). Their behavior(behaviors) is(are) showing off. But there is someone who is really modest and don’t want to be a showoff.

In the last paragraph, the author acknowledged Lord’s words and used three “right” to emphasis (emphasize)the famous words. However, when there is a golden, glowing, glorious thing had happened, I think most of us couldn’t help controlling ourselves. As the writer said that we always have a lapse or two. So we shouldn’t forgive for our showing off.
