well today when she was tlking bout it she said 'i tlked w/ my friends and they agree with me but know what your trying to say.' lol damn doesn't matter anymore though she just didn't count the mark towards our mark so w/e
Depends how you view it Event can be a fact Or an event can be a theory, if it’s a theory of an event then it cant be fact Hope that made sorta sense
You're supposed to take the event and open it up. Things like Mary not confessing, are events. The factor that creates this event is her self-conscience, and fear of Abby. She also knows it's easier to go along with the other girls. They're all against her so she'll go with them. Many other townspeople also do the same thing. They take advantage of the most believeable party to accuse others. This leads to much more. Another example of an event would be Abby's love of John and despise for his wife or the guy that wanted land from the other guy. Both of those cases involved an opportunity. It was lust for something that created an issue. People used the current issue to get what they wanted. My last example would be the way that people didn't like each other. There were many grudges in the town. Many people took advantage of this. It's along the same principle of the last example. People just wanted something, which was to get rid of someone else. All these examples tie into each other, but that is not my point. You can take examples from what I have said, but I explained what they mean. An event is a factor, but your teacher wants the broader answer. It should be explained as to why an event was a factor. Why did something happen, or why was it being done. I find it a rather smart a** remark to argue your case. If her question was what she said it was, then she was right. Part of English is to learn what things mean. You should have been able to find what the teacher was asking for in her question. I'm not trying to flame you when I say it was a smart a** remark you made. I'm just discussing your topic. You wanted to discuss the difference between a facter and an event, but you also tell why you were bringing it up.
I'm not entirely sure. It could or couldn't be.. Your teacher must've had her own answer in mind and didn't like yours.. :tongue:
the definition of a factor includes facts that add up to make a new something..... and Events are facts so his arguement is valid ^_^ And i don't find how what i did was smartass lol. If theres a question on a test and one of the words definitions are open for interpretation don't you think the teacher should clarify somewhere what she wants? And since she says that is her interpretation of the word it MUST be mine also?
Definitions of factor on the Web: * anything that contributes casually to a result; "a number of factors determined the outcome" * component: an abstract part of something; "jealousy was a component of his character" It all depends on the context of the use of the word. Factor can mean either of those two definitions (Thankyou google) A factor of an event could be a small part of the event, such as a single domino falling in a line, but it could also be part of the outcome of the event, in this case all the dominos fallen over, but it could also be part of the prologue to that event, ie setting the dominos up. But each of these factors of the larger event is an event itself, and they are all made up of factors which contributed to the outcome. If all else fails, just say to your teacher that the factor is a metaphor for the event
