sentence analysis shame

1) "I never learned hate at home, or shame.” Sentence pattern 4 is the closest to it, but it is incorrectly punctuated because "shame" isn't an independent clause. The sentence focuses on hate and shame. The comma + shame shows more emphasis on shame. It foreshadows the shadow of the story and that it will focus on shame.

2)“She’d walk down my street, and my brothers and sisters would yell, ‘Here comes Helene,” and I’d rub my tennis sneakers on the back of my pants and wish my hair wasn’t so nappy and the white folks’ shirt fit me better.” This is sentence pattern 9 because of the quotes. This sentence gives us the picture that Richard is the wealthiest kid and that he doesn't get the nicest stuff. It also gives us a better understanding about how Richard wishes he had things that he no matter what can't get because of his circumstances.

3)“And she had a daddy, and he had a good job." This is sentence pattern 4 because before and after the comma are independent clause. The writer uses this sentence because it shows that Helene has what Richards wants. It is written in that settle, but almost depressing mood showing how he feels.

4)“The idiot’s seat, the troublemaker’s seat.” Sentence pattern 5 is the closest but neither part of the sentences is really independent. This sentence is used to describe how Richard believes that society looks at him.
