9th Writing Assingment

Select a sentence from another writer (preferably a literary one) and analyze the sentence based on the principles of writing we have discussed in class. Try to understand the intention behind the structure and think about how effectively it communicates its ideas. The sentence might be an excellent example of a cumulative structure, or a poor one; the choice is yours.

8th Writing Assignment

Sorry for posting this so late. I have been busy with some other projects. This assignment is centered around writing with subordinate modifying phrases (not subordinate clauses). The subject matter is open. Use the subordinate m.p. to extend your ideas or descriptions.
