He had come out of the war with five inestimable blessings—his head, his wife maria's head and the heads of three out of their four children. as a bonus he also had his old bicycle—a miracle too but naturally not to be compared to the safety of five human heads. .

it was unbelievable. he rubbed his eyes and looked again and it was still standing there before him. but, needless to say, even that monumental blessing must be accounted also totally inferior to the five heads in the family. this newest miracle was his little house in ogui overside.

a. although the civil war is over, the new "civil peace" is just as violent.

can you say more details

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.

explanation:

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
