Document Summary
*reminder: read in bedford- section 20 (run- on sentences), section 8 (passive voice), sections 32-33 (comma usage) Grammar examples: at this point, many would have succumbed to these circumstances, but i refused to take the easy way out. Run- on sentences can be corrected using commas and coordinating conjunctions: i am driven by the kindness that others show me, in any situation i will not hesitate to approach even the most timid peers. * a basis of comparison is always necessary when comparing 2 topics. Ex: anne preferred the cafes in nyc to paris. (issue with parallelism) Begins with a paradox, follows with presentation of the landscape and geological description, then historical background. Insularity- sense of tight- knit communities that are separated from everyone else. 4th paragraph shows distinct contrast between the state itself and her personal history. The library is her personal connection that shows why literary terms are connected.
