Complex-compound sentence

prepared in a specific way, the combinations result in a delicious dish that produces a positive reaction from the consumer. Stylistic choices of diction, in the same way, are used collectively to best convey the central idea of a composition to a target audience. Even though sentence structures are not often thought about in rhetoric, it is an essential element in conveying a message because this component produces balance and emphasizes key points within a composition. There are four basic types of sentences — simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences — that are used for communicating ideas (61). The choices a rhetor makes in relation to sentences immensely impacts how the audience perceives a passage and the meaning behind it. For instance, a simple sentence produces an abrupt and direct statement which the audience recognizes as being emphasized; if a compound-complex sentence was used instead, the statement would be masked with verbiage and lost among extraneous ideas (61). An effective rhetor knows how to use simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences to highlight key points, balance information, and clarify relationships between ideas (61). To put things differently, sentences are used like a chef uses soup broth. The broth enhances a dish by bringing out or adding flavors and balancing or counteracting others. While this may not significantly impact the overall dish, it does make the difference between a dish that is satisfactory and a…

Grammatical Analysis #1 The first noticeable aspect of Michael Crichton’s piece “Premature Burial” is the author’s affinity for long, cumbersome sentences. Although the piece contains many examples of compound and complex sentences, it is almost devoid of simple sentences. After reading the work twice, I have counted only two simple sentences: “Nor was this widespread fear a simple neurotic obsession” and “Victorians dealt with their uncertainty in two ways.” Both sentences contain a single…

In the compound “slaughter/fall” (125) the second element can not only mean “a fall in battle” but also “feast” or “fill.” So there is sometimes doubt about accuracy in translating. In the Finnsburh Episode the Danes are fighting the Frisians, and the poet says: “So they offered terms [of peace]” (1085). The “they” (hig) is indefinete and could refer to either warring party – intentional ambiguity; there is debate among scholars as to the proper referent of “they.” In line 1149 a sea-journey is…

By creating guided reading lesson plans, I was able to help my students develop their phonemic awareness by incorporating word work activities that involved working with multisyllabic words. Therefore, the students were able to understand that words and syllables are made up of sequence of sounds. The word work activity in the informative text got the students to increase their vocabulary and spelling knowledge by working with compound words. The word work activities in both lessons also…

Girl Scouts - message: writing a dramatic story…

found is the “Run on Sentence.” This is often referred to as the grandfather of all mistakes (Miller & Whitehead, 2015).” Most people believe that it is impossible to write long sentences and be grammatically create. Truth to be told, it is possible. A primary example is legal papers, where the sentences are continuously long for paragraphs and sometimes pages. Other examples includes military manuals, which are succinct and explicit. Unfortunately, many of the times run on sentences are…

An allusion is a figure of speech where the author refers to a particular matter such as a place, event or a literary work by way of passing reference. The Baillie’s use of smiles within the text ‘Only Ten’ has played an important role in enhancing the readers understand of the text. A simile is a language technique which is used by the author to create a comparison between two unlike things, places or events using like or as. Similes give a simple sentence a greater degree of meaning and lets…
