Periodic Sentence
|
A Periodic Sentence (also called a Period) is a sentence that is not grammatically complete until its end. Periodicity is accomplished by the use of parallel phrases or clauses at the opening or by the use of dependent clauses preceding the independent clause; that is, the kernel of thought contained in the subject/ verb group appears at the end of a succession of modifiers. It is the opposite of a nuclear sentence. The periodic sentence is effective when it is used to arouse interest and curiosity, to hold an idea in suspense before its final revelation.

Double Consciousness
|
- - W.E.B. Du Bois – idea of double consciousness
- the sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of somebody else -not grounded in yourself, but imagining how you appear in other people’s eyes bc those people are more powerful than you -measure one’s soul according to a world of contempt and pity - create your own self concept The concept of Du Boisian "double consciousness" has three manifestations. First, the power of white stereotypes on black life and thought. Second, the racism that excluded black Americans from the mainstream of society, being both American and not American. Finally, and most significantly, the internal conflict between being African and American simultaneously. Double consciousness is an awareness of one's self as well as an awareness of how others perceive that person. The danger of double consciousness resides in conforming and or changing one's identity to that of how others perceive the person. |

For the writers at hand, a response to social change was to emphasize and appropriate the values of classical philosophy and art, hence the term neoclassical.
