Can you help me write a story about these words

Answer 1

Hello Sammie! I'd love to help you! In order to write a great essay about these words we need to first understand them. Let's look at the definitions for each word.

acquiesce

To accept something reluctantly but without protest.

affinity

a spontaneous or natural liking or sympathy for someone or something.

blasphemous

sacrilegious against God or sacred things

buttress

a source of defense or support. (This can mean a buttress in an argument or a literal, physical defense.)

circumspect

wary and unwilling to take risks.

Next we need to think about how these words are related to each other. Once you can see the relationships between these words we can easily write an essay about the way the words relate to each other.

Let's meet for an online tutoring session and we can work it out together!

All the best,

Olivia

Answer 2

Is the story about the words or using the words?

First you need to think about elements of your story- who, what , where. when. why and how of your story. The words could be the traits of your main characters so you can be force to use or show the meaning of the words.

Draft a plan to show:

Names of major and minor characters and their traits (use given vocabulary) (Who)

the problem or conflict to be solved (what)

the setting/s of the story (where)

the plot or sequence of events

climax or peak of events in the story

resolution of the problem.

Now use the draft to write your story. Be sure to use an interesting opening- dialogue, action, description etc and use powerful verbs and descriptive language.

I would be happy to help you write a story about or using those words. They are great ones, full of meaning and emotion. I'm ready when you are so if you'd like to work with me, pop over the my profile, have a look, and see if you'd like to schedule a class. Thanks and I hope we get to work together!

Answer 4

Sammie,

First let us look at all our words and define them.

Acquiesce = reluctantly agree

Affinity = Fondness

Blasphemous = Showing disrespect to God or sacred things

Buttress = Source of defence or support (sometimes this word is used to describe literal structural support, and sometimes it is used to describe supporting evidence for an argument)

Circumspect = Unwilling to take risks

What comes to my mind is a cranky atheist who might enjoy saying things (affinity) to disrepect religious faith (blasphemous). Maybe some people just agree with what he says (acquiesce) in the hopes that he’ll just stop talking. Maybe some people argue passionately against what he says because they wouldn’t risk (circumspect) getting God angry by not defending Him against ignorant slander. And perhaps this atheist backs up all that he says with strong evidential support (buttress).

I won’t tell you the ending of this story, but I’d be rooting against anyone who disrespects someone else’s faith.

Also, your imagination is probably just as good as mine, so you need not copy this story! It was just to get you thinking about the types of context where you’d see the words. Now you can think of your own story!

Hope this helps! :)
