Question

Gandhi once said, ”Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, was born to a poor family in Portbandar, India. By the mid 19th century, Britain had conquered most of India's geographic and political regions, but eventually became economically dependent on India. However, for the people of India, this not only created a huge economic downfall, but it also caused starvation that killed 30 million alone. Coming back from his training as a lawyer from South Africa, Gandhi had witnessed many accounts of racism and unjust rule in Africa. Influenced by many authors and religion, Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance helped end an unjust rule in India. But what does “nonviolent resistance really mean? According to the Florida International University, nonviolent resistance means a “nonviolent struggle conducted by noncooperation, in reacti

this is the rest of the paragraph:

According to the Florida International University, nonviolent resistance means a “nonviolent struggle conducted by noncooperation, in reaction to a disapproved act, policy, or government.“ Gandhi used many methods of nonviolence resistance to end injustice rule in India. One of the methods was non-cooperation, which was the act of refusing to cooperate. To end unjust rule in India, Gandhi would also use boycotting as a method of nonviolent resistance. The act of peacefully violating a rule, civil disobedience, was another method Gandhi used to restore India’s rule.


Thank you.

Answer 1

Looks good, but in the last paragraph, instead of the sentence, "One of the methods was non-cooperation, which was the act of refusing to cooperate." This sentence is, although grammatically correct, is basically an oxymoron. You are explaining non-cooperation as refusing to cooperate. You need to make a point with this sentence. As it is now, it has no point or reason other than the fact that Gandhi had methods. Your explanation of non-cooperation is not needed. Try something like this..." Gandhi used many methods of non violent resistance to end unjust rule to India. One of his many methods was non-cooperation. Gandhi found that boycotting, in a non violent, peaceful, civil disobedient manner, helped restore the rule of India." You see what I am doing here? Just play around with the words. You can say the same thing you were trying to say without having to say it twice. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

What you wrote is much more than one paragraph. And some of it sounds like you copied chunks from an encyclopedia. You need to organize it a bit more and put it in your own words. A good sentence to start with would be this:

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, to a poor family in Portbandar, India.

By the way, did you know where Gandhi claimed to have learned the principle of nonviolence? In his words,

"I learnt the lesson of nonviolence from my wife, when I tried to bend her to my will. Her determined resistance to my will, on the one hand, and her quiet submission to the suffering my stupidity involved, on the other, ultimately made me ashamed of myself and cured me of my stupidity in thinking that I was born to rule over her and, in the end, she became my teacher in nonviolence."
