Question

how can i word this differently:

People advise others to stay clear of the horrible consequences of despair.

Answer 1

You have two non-specific words -- <i>people</i> and <i>others</i>. What are more specific words you can use in their places?

Answer 2

Do I have to make them specific if that is my top sentence for a paragraph that relates back to this thesis: The characters of the novel demonstrate how misery drives people to do things they would not normally do.

Answer 3

Yes, I think you do have to use a specific word for <i>people</i>. Who advises others to avoid despair? Who advises other characters not to lose hope?

Answer 4

Okay. Thank you for your help.

Answer 5

You're welcome.
