Structure and Technique, 585
1. In paragraphs 1 and 2, Gregory mentions several steps he took to impress Helene
Tucker. What were they? Why does he include them in his essay?
Answer: In order to impress Helene, Gregory brushed his hair, got a handkerchief,
washed his socks and shirt every night, shoveled the snow off her walk, tried
to make friends with her mother and aunts, and left money on her stoop. He
describes those steps in detail because, besides demonstrating his devotion to
Helene, they give a clear picture of Gregory’s poverty.
2. A metaphor is a suggested comparison. What metaphor does Gregory use in paragraph
5, and what is its purpose? What metaphor does he use in the second sentence
of paragraph 7, and what does it mean?
Answer: In paragraph 5, Gregory uses the metaphor that he was pregnant to suggest
the effects of poverty on him—it gave him strange tastes, which pregnant people
get. It also filled him (as pregnancy fills someone), but with negative things:
poverty, dirt, “smells that made people turn away, ” and so on.
In the second sentence of paragraph 7, Gregory uses the metaphor of a flying
eagle to represent the movement of money. (A picture of an eagle is engraved
on one side of a quarter).
3. In narrating the incidents in the classroom and in the restaurant, Gregory
chooses to provide actual dialogue rather than merely to tell what happened.
Why?
Answer: By using the exact words spoken by Helene, the teacher, and himself,
Gregory gives a very clear picture of what happened by allowing the reader to
“experience ” it, rather than simply hear a general summary. The dialogue
between Helene and the teacher shows Helene as an ideal little student who
received approval from the teacher. The dialogue between Gregory and the teacher,
however, clearly demonstrates Gregory ’s eagerness to impress Helene and his
unsuccessful, embarrassing attempt to gain the teacher ’s approval. If Gregory
3 : .

had merely described what had happened, we would have a much less vivid
impression of the characters involved.
4. At the end of the essay, Gregory shifts his focus from the classroom to the scene
involving the wino at the restaurant. What is the connection between this closing
scene and the rest of the essay?
Answer: In the body of the essay, Gregory is narrating a time that he was shamed
publicly and no one came to his defense. In the closing scene, Gregory realizes
that he has done the same thing —that he, too, has witnessed a person being shamed
without assisting him. He feels a new kind of “shame,” that of having failed
to help another man in need.
Critical Reading and Discussion, 586
1. When Gregory writes, “I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to
school for that ” (paragraph 1), he is using irony —an inconsistency between
what is expected and what actually occurs. What does he mean by these two
statements? What is the effect of his irony?
Answer:Gregory means that although his home life was one of poverty and want,
his home was not a place of inhumane values, such as hatred and shame. But at
school, which on its surface was a more positive place, he was made to feel hatred
and shame. The ironic statement intrigues the reader and makes h
