Question

Read this excerpt from the passage. This mark is conferred on the person entitled to it, by cutting the skin across at the top of the forehead, and drawing it down to the eye-brows; and while it is in this situation applying a warm hand, and rubbing it until it shrinks up into a thick weal across the lower part of the forehead. Most of the judges and senators were thus marked; my father had long born it: I had seen it conferred on one of my brothers, and I was also destined to receive it by my parents. What is the author's viewpoint about the mark given to the Embrence

Answer 1

The author sees this as a respected tradition that is made to the Embrace.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the author sees the mark and the process of its making as a tradition that he respects. We can identify his point of view in the last lines when he says, " my father had long born it: I had seen it conferred on one of my brothers, and I was also destined to receive it by my parents.". What he means is that different generations in a group of people, which included judges and senators, were marked. We see that he respects this tradition since there are no negative comments or opposition regarding his mark or throughout the excerpt.
