SENTENCE COMBINING

CONSIDER WORKING THROUGH A GOOD STYLE BOOK

HIGHER-LEVEL WRITING – for the future, college

The Elements of Style Strunk and White CLASSIC

Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace Williams ***

 

Sentence Combining

Two approaches to putting sentences together:

COORDINATION  

SUBORDINATION

 

1.    COORDINATION – prefix ‘co’ together

coworker, cooperate, combine, colearners, colleagues, collaboration “co + labour”, coparent, coordinate, coordinator–

 

co- two things , same level

 

sentence – two clauses at the same level of importance

compound sentence– coordinated clauses

, SOBA   , FANBOYS   ;   ; TRANS,

 

Like a seesaw, teeter-totter

 

 

2.    SUBORDINATION- ‘sub’ under

submarine, subway, substitute, subcontract(or)

 

GOOD LUNCH: Vietnamese submarine sandwiches – Banh Mi Saigon,

North - South

5397 Victoria Drive- have one for homework

 

5397 -16 = 53-16= 37   37th Ave

6010 Fraser  60 -16       44th Ave

1300 Commercial  -16   -3 Three blocks north of First Avenue

 

Each major block is .5 mile (.8km)  apart

Each major East/West Avenue is a square

1 squared = 1 Ave

2 squared= 4th Ave

3 squared= Broadway (9thAve)

4 squared= 16th Ave

5 squared= King Edward Ave (25th Ave)

 

 

subconscious, subtract, substitute, submission, submissive, subcontract

one thing more important than the other

sentence – two clauses not at the same level of importance

complex- adverb clauses, noun clauses, adjective clauses

e.g. Mae likes dogs because they are loyal. main clause subordinate clause

main clause -more important information

subordinate clause / dependent clause- less important information

-         adjective clause

-         adverb clause

-         noun clause

 

If a teacher is talking about coordinating and subordinating clauses, they mean compound and complex sentences.

e.g writing workshop for sentence writing, UBC for first-year students

 

Dogs are loyal, so I like them. COMPOUND- coordination

I like dogs because they are loyal. COMPLEX-subordination

 

 

This is my visualization of sentences:

 

1.    _____         SIMPLE

2.    ___   ___    COMPOUND

3.    ___

                    ___   COMPLEX

 

Like Tetris blocks

 

* It’s all about main and subordinate clauses

We want a good mix of those types.

 

-looking under the hood of a car

-looking behind the curtain at Cirque de Soleil

-looking in the kitchen of a restaurant

-watch a magician in slow motion

 

How it’s done! How it’s made!

 

Tetris – video game with blocks

-different shapes

-all the pieces fit together

Russian Blocks

 

- nice mix of sentence styles in our writing

-mix of SIMPLE, COMPOUND and COMPLEX sentences

We should aim for a nice mix of simple, compound and complex sentences. We should aim for a mix of short, medium, and long sentences.

 

SIDE NOTE

In my editing business for university students, I write a mix of SIMPLE, COMPOUND and COMPLEX sentences, with a few fancy details.

Therefore, if you can master SIMPLE, COMPOUND and COMPLEX sentences, you’ll be set for any class, college, university, job, etc.

“Parallelism”

 

 

 

 

l  MY LECTURE NOTES

l  Chapter 6 Notes

 

  “worked like slaves” (40)

  Napoleon announces voluntary work on Sunday or “rations reduced by half”

misusing words intentionally, confuse the animals (not smart)

  windmill, major challenge breaking stones

  “desperate slowness” (41), “slow, laborious process” “exhausting effort”

  Boxer powerhouse/horse, get up earlier, tireless

IDIOM She is a real powerhouse. She is a go-getter. She is a go go go person.

 

  animals naturally better at some tasks (e.g.weeding)

 

  Napoleon opens trade (hay, eggs), employs Mr. Whymper, broker on commission

animals uneasy, going back on resolutions. Principles

Not written in the Commandments. Trick? Oversight?

 

The pigs may have been devious from the beginiing.

 

  dogs growl,sheep bleat to silence dissenters (43)

  Squealer spins, lies, reshapes animals memories

reshape memory- remember(v)

re member   re- again   member-create, put together

 

 

  rumours Napoleon doing business with Mr. Pilkington or Mr. Fredericks (45)

 

  pigs move into farmhouse, sleep in beds

  Fourth Commandment amended (45)

  Squealer spins word 'bed'

  raises specter of Mr. Jones

  pigs sleeping in (46)

 

blankets, not sheets- difference?

a distinction without a difference

 

  animals proud of windmill, focus of labours, except Benjamin

  Napoleon blames destruction of windmill on Snowball

  plant evidence- footprints, Napoleon “pronounced them to be Snowball's” (48)

 

VOCAB a scapegoat – someone who you can blame, not actually guilty or responsible, usually blame somebody else instead of ourself

 

 

FREE ADVICE #14: If you want to know where the problem is, go look

                  in the mirror. Only you can fix it. Don’t blame

                  anyone else. Don’t rely on anyone else.

 

  Napoleon commits to rebuild windmill

  At this point in the novel, the real rebellion has been lost. Napoleon has taken over as a dictator.

 

dictator- every decision taken by one person, no demoracy, no discusion, no consulatation

 

dictate(v) dictation(n)- to talk, declare

Adolf Hitler, Kim Jung Il, Mugabe, Mao?, Ali

 

Some countries have the death sentence. p47
