8. Analysis Data Analysis:
The Winfields walked on past the gym then, and they came out on the port side, where the crew were uncovering eight wooden lifeboats. (No Greater Love, 46)
Analysis:
First Clause: The Winfields walked on past the gym then Independent clause
Second clause: they came out on the port side Independent clause

9. First clause + and + second clause = Parataxis extending
Third Clause: where the crew were uncovering eight wooden lifeboats Dependent clause
First clause + and + second clause = Parataxis
extending
Second clause + where + third clause = hypotaxis
enhancing
In the second clause, conjunction “and” has function in order to add the other informations to the first clause (they refer to the Winfields).
In the third clause, conjunction “where” shows a place (“where” refers to the port side).

Analysis:
First clause: Phillip stayed outside on deck, with Jack Thayer and Charles independent clause
Second clause: who were helping the women and children into the lifeboats dependent clause
Independent + dependent clause = hypotaxis
Who elaboration specifying in greater detail
Who refers to the Phillip, Jack Thayer and Charles

11. Conclusion
Parataxis Extending Hypotaxis Elaboration Enhancing
