Use minimum 2 sentences to give reasons why your example shows your topic or why you think the behaviour is the characteristic.

ANALYSIS means that you explore causes and consequences of the characteristic.
Good manners reflect your family background and this behaviour shows the readers that although Stanley has been sent to a juvenile prison, he has been raised to be a polite young man.
write a SUMMARY (in which you link to society & return to the topic)
