Evaluation The first impression I had after I read this story 'The Garden Party ' By Katherine Mansfield was that I was amazed by the varieties and luxuriousness of the garden party held by Mr. Sheridan 's family. Whereas by comparison, was shocked by the pool condition and misfortune their neighbors have. This huge social gap got me thinking that what is the message that author tried to deliver to. Interpretation The cloudless and warmness of summer day makes it "a perfect day for a garden-party"

Throughout A Modest Proposal, Swift effectively uses verbal irony, diction, and sentence structure to achieve his purpose of making people realize that there are problems in society that needed to be handled in a reasonable manner.

addition of simple sentence structure versus more complex sentences, and the integration of passive voice, Camus demonstrates the importance of this passage of the novel to the reader, while also comparing it to the rest of the book. Meursault gives simple nonliving objects authority as a way of excusing himself for his negative actions.

In the regular sentence order of English, the subjects come before predicates and verbs come before objects. In English, there are variations in sentence order. Although these variations cause some confusion, a speaker of English can use them to highlight an important point in the sentence. For example, a speaker uses a cleft sentence as a way to focus on a special element on the sentence. A cleft sentence is a complex sentence in which a simple sentence is expressed using a main clause and a
the environment, he constructs sentences that indicate how Marlowe assimilates the information: characters perform three or more acts successively and Marlowe notices every movement, recording it at once. Therefore, Chandler builds sentences that contain as many separate actions as possible to reflect how fast the character performs the act, rather than isolate single actions in single sentences that break the action up. Specifically, Chandler builds sentences with items in a series to reflect
of their own level. Each book has a simple and easy structure of writing accompanied with defining illustrations. Margaret Wise Brown is not the only author that has been able to adjust her writing style to better suite different age levels for children. Another author that could fit into this category would be Ruth Krauss, author of “A Hole is to Dig,” and many more other great children’s books. Both of these authors’ genres could be categorized as simple and defining. For example, Margaret Wise

common grammatical errors within the written and spoken English language. According to Jeff Anderson in Mechanically Inclined, common errors include subject-verb agreement, sentence fragments, dangling or misplaced modifiers, comma splices, tense shift, preposition misuse, and vague pronoun reference. Karen Sneddon states the simple rules of verb agreement in her article Back to Basics. “A subject must agree with its verb. A singular noun requires a singular verb.

the mode of expression. He has in him a happy blend of greatest philosopher and a great writer. He was awarded Nobel Prize for literature in 1950. The subject matter of his essays may be very difficult but his manner of expression is so lucid and simple that even a layman can understand him without any special difficulty. It is a rare privilege which only few prose masters enjoy. The precision and clarity which Russell’s prose style possesses are very rare in the bulk of English prose. Russell has
Vonnegut's Simple Style in Cat's Cradle The simple style with which Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. writes his novels belies the complexity hidden behind his sentences. Vonnegut's novels, as a result, are amazingly easy and, to many, enjoyable to read, yet they contain messages that go to the very root of humanity, messages that are not hidden underneath flowery prose. The success of Cat's Cradle, like all of his novels, relies on this simplicity to reveal its messages
However, it is commonly overlooked that "logic is the science and means of clear . . . communication." Consequently, many sentences are regarded as logical, which in reality are illogical. It can therefore be found that the language used to communicate this logic must be carefully constructed using a certain format in order to form a logical statement. The requirements in such a sentence include a subject, the verb "to be", a predicate containing information that is relevant to the subject by means of
Magistrate is portrayed as a truth-seeking person whereas Colonel Joll is described as a perpetrator of violence and injustice. In the sentence, “I was the lie that Empire tells itself when times are easy, he the truth that Empire tells when harsh winds blow.” J.M Coetzee tries to introduce an antithesis to the readers by contrasting the roles of the two characters. This sentence also indicates the Empire’s hypocrisy and duplicity. In the passage, the Magistrate comes to a conclusion that he is actually similar
Williams point out that when we come across a sentence that is not clear our first reaction is "yuck." He goes on to say, "we do not describe sentences on the page; we describe how we feel about them." (17) When I came to this passage, I had never thought of it that way. I had always blamed the passage in some way if I did not understand it. I wouldn't look to see why it wasn't clear, but would think what an awful sentence, not realizing that it is not the sentence that is awful, but the clarity of it.
three sentences of the essay, the speaker adopts a very childlike style. He makes use of simple words and keeps the sentences short, similar in style to that of an early aged teenager. But since the text is written in the past tense and the narrator mentions that he was 'going on thirteen' (181), we know the speaker is now older. After reading a little further, we find that the style becomes more complex, with a more select choice of words and longer sentences. The contrast between simple and complex
paragraph incorporates numerous different sentence structures such as following: simple, complex, and compound. Complex sentence usage in this section is the highest when compared to other sentences. Independent and dependent clauses must be present to identify as a complex sentence. For example Brown writes, “Returning to the shell house that evening, the first varsity boat fell in alongside Tom Bolle’s first freshman boat” (85). Looking through the sentence, the first half before the comma is the
Teenager's Love Life Written as a Diary Entry I wrote a short story for a teenage magazine aimed at girls of approximately 14 years of age. This story would relate to teenagers and may even advise in certain situations. It is a short story about a teenager’s love life written as a diary entry. I modelled my story on the short stories found in teenage magazines, aimed at girls of the same age range that I have written for. In research I have carried out into language and writing short
