Nouns and Verbs (a reminder)

SPEECH! SPEECH! “Man himself has become our greatest hazard and our only hope.” Write a response to this quote. What do you think Steinbeck is saying here? How is this statement true or relevant to our world today? Watch bio What have we learned about the type of person Steinbeck is? How might that influence his writing?

Parallel structure review: YAY! Helpful hints on how to revise sentences for parallel structure: Figure out what parts of the sentence are being compared. Decide whether they are parallel, i.e. arranged or constructed in the same way. If they are not, make them parallel by making the grammatical construction the same in each part. Examples (Yes or REVISE): I would rather eat potatoes than to eat rice. Global warming affects humans, the environment, and is scary. It’s harder to do long division than dividing with a calculator. Pirates ransacked the mansion, but they didn’t steal all the silver. Merchants receive either money or trade goods with their clients. Bruce Wayne enjoys donning his Batman costume, answering the Commissioner's phone calls, and saving Gotham City from cruel villains like the Penguin.

Burns’ poem “The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men, gang aft agley, an’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain for promis’d joy!” “grief an’ pain” “promis’d joy” “the present only touches thee” = Lennie “An’ cozie here, beneath the blast, thou thought to dwell, till crash!” “Now thou’s turn’d out, for a’ thy trouble but house or hald” – Not the first time Lennie created issues for George

Reading for Structure Talk about the GENRE as a structure: “because this was written as a poem…” “because this was written as an editorial and not a news report…” CONSIDER the effects of those genres in comparison to others Talk about the LOCATION OF PARTS within the larger whole: “in this rising action, the author…” “in the second subsection of this article…” See the parts of a text (location terminology) Plot mountain, genre structures (stanzas, scene change) Talk about the TECHNIQUES an author uses when STRUCTURING PARTS of the text: “in this chapter, the author starts with character description, then several lines of dialogue, then describes the setting…” “in the opening of this essay, the author makes a comparison, then uses a long list of shocking facts…”
