Text Structure AnalysisThis passage is a first person narration which centers on the main theme: love without limitations. The dominant structure of the passage is “problem-response-evaluation”. The passage present three problems and each of them has its own response and evaluation.It can be roughly divided into four parts.Part One consists of three paragraphs, from Para. 1 to Para.3, which is one of complete "problem-response-evaluation” pattern. Paragraph 1 presents the problem: The writer's brother, Jimmy, suffers from brain damage due to a lack of oxygen at his birth. Paragraph 1 also deals with the first response to the problem: While growing to the writer is made to care for Jimmy and take him out to play. Paragraph 2 is the response of everyone in the family showing their love and care, for Jimmy as a whole. Paragraph 3 especially tells us about their father's love for Jimmy. Father and Jimmy were inseparable. They were happy together and enjoyed each other's company immensely. Here we have the "evaluation'1 part of the problem. Because of the love from his family, Jimmy was happy though being disabled.Part Two is made up of four paragraphs, from Paragraph 4 to Paragraph 7, and constitutes another "problem-response-evaluation" pattern. Paragraph 4 is about their father's death, which made Jimmy a wreck. Paragraph 5 is about their mother's death, which leaves the writer alone to take care of Jimmy. Paragraph 6 is the response to the new problem: With their father and mother gone, the writer had to take care of Jimmy on her own. The writer was determined to help Jimmy adjust to a life without their parents. After 11 years, Jimmy finally blossomed on his own, becoming an essential part of the neighborhood to which he contributed in his own way. Paragraph 7 is the evaluation of the response.Part Three has four paragraphs, from Paragraph 8 to Paragraph 11, which is the third "problem-response-evaluation" pattern. Paragraph 8 presents another problem: None of the rest of their family could join them for Jimmy's birthday party because of the difficulty traveling in a time of national disaster. The response to the problem is presented in Paragraph 8 as well: The writer called on her faithful friends to help make it a merry and festive occasion. Paragraph 9 is also the response of her friends: They brought ideal presents for Jimmy. Paragraph 10 describes the details of Jimm/s active performance at the party, which brought happiness to everyone. Paragraph 11 is the evaluation of the response: The success of the party showed that instead of making Jimmy happy, we were encouraged and pleased by Jimmy.Part Four is the last paragraph, Paragraph 12. This part is the conclusion of the whole passage. The writer first compares the similarity between their fathers death and September Eleventh-the national disaster which changed the world. However, what remains unchanged is their "love without limitations”. The main theme is emphasized again: The constant love and support of our friends and family will get us through whatever difficulty we face; and that there had never been any limitations to what Jimmy's love could accomplish.IV.
