GRAMMATICAL FUNCTION
EXAMPLE:
Jeffrey brushed quickly past an elderly woman waiting on the platform ahead of him to get onto the
subway. He wanted to be sure to get a seat to read his New Economics Journal. As the train screeched
out of the station, he lifted his head from the business news and stared at the man directly across
from him.
A fierce wave – a tsunami – of antipathy came over him. Jeffrey knew this man, knew him all too well.
They had become bitter enemies. Their eyes locked.
As the train reached full speed, the cacophony of speeding wheels against the winding rails and of the
wildly vibrating subway car filled Jeffrey’s ears. To this frenetic beat, Jeffrey listed in his head all the
reasons that this man, whose eyes he gravely stared into, whose image seemed to appear nearly
everywhere he went, had become anathema to him.
He had climbed the upper echelons of the Wall Street firm using an imperious manner with his
subordinates: issuing directives; ordaining idiosyncratic decrees; generally making certain everyone
knew he was the boss.
Despite his impoverished upbringing, he had become ostentatious. Flush with cash from the lucrative
deals he made on Wall Street, he had purchased a yacht and a home in Versailles. He used neither.
But, oh, how he liked to say he had them. Meanwhile—Jeffrey knew—this man’s father was on the
verge of being evicted from his decrepit tenement apartment in the South Bronx.
What bothered Jeffrey most about this man was that he never even attempted to make amends for his
evil ways.
Could this man change? Jeffrey did not know. But maybe, just maybe, he could try.
The train screeched to Jeffrey’s stop at Battery Park. He gave the man one last hard look. “See you
around,” he mumbled to himself. And he knew he would — the wrinkled brow, that part of graying
hair, those cold metallic eyes in a subway window reflection—were his own.
It would take years of hard work and self-contemplation, but Jeffrey would once again encounter this
man on the train, and marvel at what a kinder person he had become.
