Periodic sentence

A complex sentence beginning with a dependent clause and ending with an independent clause, as in "While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late."

Complex sentence Dependent clause and example Dependent clause first or independent clause first and examples

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence. It starts with a subordinating conjunction. Example: "because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon" The dependent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the independent clause, as in the following: "Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I did not see them at the station." Conversely, the independent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the dependent clause, as in the following: "I did not see them at the station because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon."

Compound sentence

A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two or three independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS": For And Nor But Or Yet So Examples of compound sentences include the following: "Joe waited for the train, but the train was late." "I looked for Mary and Samantha at the bus station, but they arrived at the station before noon and left on the bus before I arrived."

Relative clause meaning and two types Commas

A relative clause is one that's connected to the main clause of the sentence by a word such as who, whom, which, that, or whose. For example: "It reminded him of the house that he used to live in." - that he used to live in - is the relative clause "The items, which are believed to be family heirlooms, included a grandfather clock worth around £3,000." - which are believed to be family heirlooms - is the relative clause There are two types of relative clause: A restrictive relative clause provides essential information about the noun to which it refers. It cannot be left out of the sentence without affecting the meaning. The highlighted section of the first sentence above is a restrictive relative clause. If it was left out, the sentence would not make sense: It reminded him of the house. [which house?] A non-restrictive relative clause provides information that can be left out without affecting the meaning or structure of the sentence. The highlighted section of the second sentence above is a non-restrictive relative clause. If it was left out, the sentence would still make perfect sense: The items included a grandfather clock worth around £3,000. You do not need to put a comma before restrictive relative clauses. On the other hand, non-restrictive relative clauses should be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma or commas. For example: A list of contents would have made it easier to steer through the book, which also lacks a map. Bill, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, suddenly roused himself.

Simple sentence Example Independent clause

A simple sentence has the most basic elements that make it a sentence: a subject, a verb, and a completed thought. Examples of simple sentences include the following: Joe waited for the train. Mary and Joe went to the theater. A simple sentence can also be referred to as an independent clause. It is referred to as "independent" because, while it might be part of a compound or complex sentence, it can also stand by itself as a complete sentence.

Formative Assessment

Formative assessments are intended to help the teacher modify instruction and gauge student understanding throughout the learning process. Conferencing about a draft is a formative assessment because conferences help students revise their work before submitting a final product and help the teacher assess student understanding.

Gerund phrase

Gerunds band together with other words to form a gerund phrase. Collectively, this phrase behaves like a single noun. Running is a favorite activity of mine. Running with scissors is a favorite activity of mine. Both the gerund and the gerund phrase above function as subject nouns and take the third-person singular verb is. We could substitute a non-gerund noun such as chess to mentally confirm its function. Just as nouns sometimes function as objects in a sentence, so can gerund phrases. Tim enjoys running with scissors. In this sentence, the gerund phrase running with scissors is the direct object of the verb enjoys. We could easily replace it with a simpler object noun to confirm that it really is an object. Tim enjoys racquetball.

22. A student is using New Criticism to analyze a classic work of literature. Which of the following will be the focus of the student's analysis?

Mock-epic, also called mock-heroic, form of satire that adapts the elevated heroic style of the classical epic poem to a trivial subject. The tradition, which originated in classical times with an anonymous burlesque of Homer, the Batrachomyomachia (Battle of the Frogs and the Mice), was honed to a fine art in the late 17th- and early 18th-century Neoclassical period. A double-edged satirical weapon, the mock-epic was sometimes used by the "moderns" of this period to ridicule contemporary "ancients" (classicists). More often it was used by "ancients" to point up the unheroic character of the modern age by subjecting thinly disguised contemporary events to a heroic treatment

5 organizational structures in writing

Sequence uses time or spatial order as the organizing structure. Memoir, autobiography, fairytales, folktales, fantasy, and science fiction often use a sequential organization. The most basic sequence includes an initiating event, complicating actions that build to a high point, and a resolution. Example: Cinderella was a poor sister who was treated badly [initiating event]. Went to a ball that transformed her [complicating actions]. Her foot fit in the slipper [high point]. She lived happily ever after [resolution]. Description enumerates the characteristic features and events of a specific subject. Good descriptive writing appeals to the senses with imagery and relate specific details. It can be helpful to organize a description according to the reporter's questions "Who, what when, where, how, and why?" Example: A profile of a cherished friend or a remembrance of a childhood event. Cause and Effect shows causal relationships between events. Authors often use this organization to assert and explain arguments about how things are and how they got that way. Example: The future of gorillas in the wild is at risk [argument]. Gorilla meat is a dietary staple for 12 million people in Africa [cause]. Scientists predict that at the present rate of decline, in 30 years all of the world's wild gorillas will be gone [effect]. Compare and Contrast explains how two or more objects or events are similar or different. In preparation for writing a Compare and Contrast essay, it is often useful to create graphic organizers, such as venn diagrams, compare/contrast lists, and data matrices, to compare features across different categories. Examples: A personal or expository essay on vacationing on the beach vs. in the mountains. Comparative profiles of two leaders or countries. Problem and Solution describes a problem and proposes a solution. It often debates the relative merits of multiple solutions before arguing in favor of the best solution. Example: There has been a recent increase in bullying at the middle school [problem]. Several policies have been proposed to punish offenders [debate].The middle school should implement x solution for y reasons [solution].

The Oxford English Dictionary Baughs History of the English Language Random house and Webster's

The Oxford English Dictionary gives not only the current, common meanings of a word, but also a history of the different ways a word has been used since its recorded entry into the language. Baugh's History of the English Language is unlikely to treat in depth the meanings of individual words from Dunbar's poem. While dictionaries such as The Random House Dictionary of the English Language and Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary often present some of the historical background of a word, neither gives as full a treatment as does The Oxford English Dictionary.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;Coral is far more red than her lips' red;If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

The conventional Renaissance (or Petrarchan) sonnet writer glorified a fair-skinned woman with red lips, sparkling eyes, white breasts, and golden hair. Here, the speaker asserts at the start of the sonnet that his lover has no such beauty or graces. His straightforward announcement of what she lacks rather than of what she has is unexpected and puts the reader off guard. This unconventional approach leads to a resolution in the final couplet of the sonnet, where the speaker asserts that, even without the conventional marks of "fairness," his love is more beautiful than any woman "belied with false compare."

Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

The main theme of novels written by Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924) was the sea. Most of his novels and tales had a nautical setting, depicting the courage and spirit of humans in the midst of nature's fury. Heart of Darkness - Conrad offers parallels between London ("the greatest town on earth") and Africa as places of darkness. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between "civilised people" and those described as "savages." Heart of Darkness implicitly comments on imperialism and racism. Heart of Darkness is the story of an English seaman in the late nineteenth century, Charles Marlow, who is hired by a Belgian company to captain a river steamer in the recently established Congo Free State. Almost as soon as he arrives in the Congo, Marlow begins to hear rumours about another company employee, Kurtz, who is stationed deep in the interior of the country, hundreds of miles up the Congo River.

Expository article vs Functional article

The purpose of both functional and expository texts is to inform, not to persuade, but... functional texts are more focused on supporting the completion of everyday tasks, so they include lists of instructions.

3. Which THREE of the following writers were prominent during the Harlem Renaissance?

W.E. Du Bois Zora Neale Hurston Langston Hughes

iambic pentameter

When we speak, our syllables are either stressed (stronger emphasis) or unstressed (weaker emphasis). For example, the word "remark" consists of two syllables. "Re" is the unstressed syllable, with a weaker emphasis, while "mark" is stressed, with a stronger emphasis. In poetry, a group of two or three syllables is referred to as a foot. A specific type of foot is an iamb. A foot is an iamb if it consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, so the word remark is an iamb. Penta means five, so a line of iambic pentameter consists of five iambs - five sets of unstressed and stressed syllables. Ex: William Shakespeare

Comma splice and how to fix it

When you join two independent clauses with a comma and no conjunction, it's called a comma splice.

Writing Process Steps

prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, publishing Prewriting is anything you do before you write a draft of your document. It includes thinking, taking notes, talking to others, brainstorming, outlining, and gathering information (e.g., interviewing people, researching in the library, assessing data). Drafting occurs when you put your ideas into sentences and paragraphs. Here you concentrate upon explaining and supporting your ideas fully. Here you also begin to connect your ideas. Don't pay attention to such things as spelling at this stage. Writer centered. Revising is the key to effective documents. Here you think more deeply about your readers' needs and expectations. The document becomes reader-centered. At this stage you also refine your prose, making each sentence as concise and accurate as possible. Make connections between ideas explicit and clear. During editing, a written draft is examined for clarity and grammatical correctness. The goal is to improve the readability of the work before it is published. Publishing: presenting
