Does this sentence make sense?
[Several questions with different details have been merged. The one I answered had details:From an article on building character: ( What if the Secret to Success Is Failure? )''He ( the headmaster of a school ) was wary of the idea that KIPP’s ( Knowledge Is Power Program ) aim was to instill in its students “middle-class values,” as though well-off kids had some depth of character that low-income students lacked.''......................If someone decides to instill ''middle-class values'' in all students, shouldn't that mean that the person thinks that the WELL-OFF KIDS LACKED some depth of character that LOW-INCOME STUDENTS HAD? Because if you want to instill middle-class values in an upper-class student, that should mean that the upper-class students lacked something that the middle-class students did not.]———It makes sense. In the context of that section of the article (where they are talking about outcomes for the first cohorts from KIPP schools) the middle-class students are the well-off students and the low-income students aren't middle-class. There are no upper-class or more-well-off-than-the-middle-class students in the picture at this point (they've appeared at the beginning of the article, where it's Riverdale that's under discussion, but the KIPP schools were in low-income areas) so the sentence isn't saying anything about them.It does all tie together, because what the educators in the article are arguing is that the qualities they think are important in determining outcomes (optimism and persistence and social intelligence) aren't middle-class values -- they are the more nebulous "strength of character" -- and that those are important to teach to students of any class or income level, whether in a low-income KIPP school or an exclusive private school.

Sentence 1 sounds forced. I'm still considering a teenager being vicariously connected to another teenager's adolescence. Why not: "Many teenage readers will feel a special bond with the problems that the teenage Holden Caulfied suffers." As other answer suggests - keep it simple and aim for clarity. 2) I'm not sure this one makes sense to me. Maybe it's part of a larger paragraph and would make sense in that context. You mention the derivation but fail to clarify what that is. That's what's missing. 3) sure. makes sense. 4) as Holden doesn't want to confront his parents, he spends.... this sentence needs work. good luck

No, it doesn't make sense. It's only possible to disorient people or animals, not inanimate objects or things like speeches. Do you mean that his speeches are confusing to his audience? "Confuse" has one meaning of "to make opaque; to blur [the meaning of]" so you could say "...complicating and confusing..." or you could refer to the effect and say "...complicating his speeches and confusing his audiences." or "complicating his speeches and making them confusing and hard to follow" "speeches are so complex that they become obscure (or that the meaning is obscured)." "complicating his speeches and making them obscure." If you think he's doing it intentionally, "...obfuscating his speeches..." "complicating his speeches to obfuscate their meaning" "speeches are complicated and obfuscatory" "obfuscating the meaning of his speeches by complicating them beyond reason" "complicating his speeches to make them obscure" Notice the shift in meaning between "...and making them..." vs "...to make them..." in the last example in each section. The first says that it's happening; the second that he's doing it on purpose. You *could* use disorient in something like "...speeches are so complicated that his audiences become disoriented" or "complicated and disorienting to his audiences" but people might get the idea that the audiences were walking into walls rather than simply not following the speech. I think it's too strong a word to use here.

Here are a few sentences in English that I came across that make no sense at first glance but make absolute sense grammatically!All the faith he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life.One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

Content: yes; grammar: almost. ;) Correct would be: Für Alexander hat Nina immer Zeit, or: Nina hat immer Zeit für Alexander. Rather close translation to show you the structure of the sentence: For Alexander, Nina has always time. In proper English: Nina always finds time for Alexander. :)

Marie, my friend at one time long ago, has rejected me forever, having read a letter from me with offense.You could definitely word this better.I will use a few examples because I believe you should write the sentence yourself instead of being spoon fed the answer.The sentence structure should be something like this:[Time], [the subject: the main person] [action] [because] [the reason the action happened].Examples:Yesterday, my dog ran away because I forgot to shut the front door.On October 5th 1921, a young man stared out the window of his apartment building.Two years ago, my dad had sent his last letter before he died in the war, but now, we don't need letters to communicate.One thing I noticed is that you describe the letter "with offense". Here is a bad example of English: "I am using a crayon with blue color."Here is a good example of English: "I am using a blue crayon."Nouns can be adjectives and adjectives can be nouns:Love - noun. Lovely - adjective.Love can be romantic or friendly. - nounI adore your lovely necklace. - adjective Insult - noun. Insulting - adjective or verb.Stop with your horrible insults! - nounYour words are very insulting! - adjectiveStop insulting me! - VerbChat - noun or verb.
