My first day as a volunteer at the Boys and Girls club was a very well day. I had already known that there are a lot of kids and the time that I went in at was homework time. Since it was the first day I was unsure of where to go and what to do; thankfully the staffs there are very welcoming and very inclusive. The surprised on my first day was the welcoming, curiosity and the flood of questions that some of the children had asked me. I had plan to be the one asking the children questions,…
found to help strengthen my writing skills. A few of my assets, noted by my instructor and the rubric were: my introduction and how I was able to put the discussion on track with a bold thesis statement, strong topic sentences, the content of my paragraphs, transitional sentences and a formal conclusion.

This same problem applies to 1 Cor 14:34-35. There is an absolute…

With the characters ranging from personifications of human qualities and desires like “Good Deeds” are all used to open the eyes of the audience.

In contrast, the word ate does not move in the subordinate clause (in the right picture) because the complementizer position is filled by the auxillary “that.” To test the validity of this explanation, I presented the native speaker with additional sentences containing both occupied and unoccupied complementizer positions. His translations of these sentences were the same as those…
