1. What is your reaction to Chesterfield?

 My reaction to Chesterfield is that he is a stand up guy that is trying to prepare his son for the future.


2.What attitudes and behavior seem to be the most important to Chesterfield?Write a paragraph giving examples from text and showing example of parallelism. Support Chesterfield's relationship with his son. Support your ideas with evidence for the letter.

 Chesterfield supports positive attitude and behavior because he doesn't want his son to be mistreated by the upcoming world. For example, Chesterfield said, " Men are much more unwilling to have their weaknesses and their imperfections known, than their crimes: and, if you hint to a man that you think him silly, ignorant, or even ill-bred or awkward, he will hate you more, and longer, than if you tell him plainly that you think him a rogue.
He knows breeding is important and wants his son to choose a well-bred proper wife.
