How does Dreiser organize the events that occur in Paul’s life? What connection is Dreiser making between these events?

The events Dreiser describes happen at different moments in time; however, they’re still in chronological order. The events show how his views regarding his brother Paul change over time. They also map the evolution of Paul’s mental breakdown. In the beginning of the story, Paul is described as young, hopeful, and resilient. As he grows, a little bit of his cheerful disposition gets chipped away with each event Dreiser describes. Ultimately, he loses most of his earnings, sinks into depression, and dies at his sister’s house.

Explanation:

"time to steal from the rich and give to the poor"

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
