Handling anger and everyday fears, sentence 13

If something is truly unfair, say calmly what is unfair and what you would like to happen instead; people listen to a calm, clear reason more than to a shout.

Who acts: something, you, people · What happens: be, say, like, happen, listen · To what, where: calm clear reason · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Handling anger and everyday fears» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (something, you, people), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
