"Manners maketh man."
-William Wykeham
I think that William Wykeham is saying that manners show if you are being well educated or not. Manners are shown to you so that people don't think you are rude when they help you are out, or if you pass by someone and don't say good morning. If it is daytime and someone passes by you on the sidewalk, even though you may not know them it is still nice to wish them a good morning and a good day. If you drop your books and someone takes the time to help you, you should not walk away without saying thank-you otherwise that person might not want to help you anymore. Manners show that you are rude or kind, take things for granted or appreciate the things you have. Manners are shown to you not only by your parents but by your teachers as well. When you ask you teacher to use the restroom and you say " Can I use the restroom''? Do they ever say "I don't know, can you?" Then they expect you to reply with "May I use the restroom?'' This an example of what some teachers do to help you use manners and proper grammar. Manners are not only seen in kids your age or my age, adults or elders. Manners are also seen in little children as well. If little children can use manners but you can't, then that sets a bad image for you. Even little kids use manners because they know it is the right thing to do. Remember manners show who you are so use them correctly.
