The speaker’s word choices may have the readers confused as to what is transpiring…

For some people, tragedy is what it takes to realize core values and grow. In Jonathan Foer’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Oskar Schell is a gifted nine year old in search of a meaning for his life outside of his central tragedy--the passing of his father in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. More than anything, he cannot escape from his own mind and his obsession with his father: “It doesn't make me feel good when you say that something I do reminds you of Dad” (Foer).

To outsiders you are just another dad, but to your family you represent the world. From the very beginning fathers have been looked down on and also perceived as a missing factor in a child's life.

First off, one of the standards that aren’t always seen equal is intelligence. For instance, some parents tend to think that their sons are smarter than their daughters are. They believe that their sons will exceed educationally more than their daughters. For example, in the New York Times they states that “Parents are two and a half times more likely to ask “Is my son gifted?” than “Is my daughter gifted?” However, in reality, girls are about 11 percent more likely to be in a gifted program…
