[Prof. Masiello]

Today I will post work for Tuesday Sept. 6 and Thursday Sept. 8
Please answer numbers 1 through 9 right away. It is classwork.
____________________________________________________________________________________
First, we need a bit of a review about complex sentences since many students had some trouble with these.
Remember: compound sentences have two complete thoughts and are joined by a comma + a FANBOYS word (a coordinating conjunction).

1) The acronym FANBOYS is an easy way to remember them. Please write down the FANBOYS words.
Keep in mind the prefix co- is used for words that show equality. A co-owner also owns something; a co-ed class has both male and female students and they are treated equally.
A compound sentence has two grammatically “equal” thoughts (also called “independent clauses) and is joined by a coordinating word.

2) Please list at least 15 subordinating conjunctions. You can Google them.

Keep in mind, the prefix sub- which you see in such words as subterranean, subway, submarine, has to do with things below.
The phrase subordinating conjunction suggests a relationship that is not equal.

3) Name a context in which some people are not “equal” and therefore would be considered subordinate to others.

When you have a subordinating conjunction (item 2), you will have a situation in which the two clauses
are grammatically unequal, meaning one can stand alone as independent, but the other clause is “dependent” on the independent one and the dependent one cannot stand alone as a full sentence.
Please see the document from Sept. 1 for examples and not how the dependent half—the half that contains the subordinating word, like “when” or “since”—can be placed first or in the middle, and not the need for a comma or not.
4) Either copy your own complex sentences from that last class (if they were correct) or write new ones. You are assigned five good ones to copy and/or write here:
5) Please Google the difference between phrases and clauses. Our writing is composed of all sorts of combinations .
6) Write down their definitions.
7) Also Google what a “short story” in literature is. It is not a children’s story, a fairy tale, or a fable about foxes and crows.

8) Please write down a definition of a short story. It is a work of fiction. ( Our readings in and out of college are either called “fiction” or “nonfiction.” Novels are the most well-known examples of fiction. Poems and plays are their own category, so only short stories and novels are considered fiction in your college-level readings.)

9) Can you name any short story titles that you may have read in high school?
Their titles should be enclosed in quotation marks, like Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum.”

We will be reading three stories this week. They are linked below. Only two out of the three are short stories. One is an essay.

THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS ON EACH READING for you to post replies to.

What is below the solid line are the readings.
Please read the first two for Thursday. You will be provided question on them on or by Thursday.
The links are below.

[Zacarah King]

Mostly good work, Zachara.

1) The acronym FANBOYS is used to remember the following conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So.

2) Subordinating conjunctions introduce a subordinate clause, they connect dependent clauses to independent clauses. Examples of subordinating conjunctions are Although, Before, After, Because, Once, Even though, Whereas, When, Until, Supposing, Since, How, If, So that, as soon as, Rather than, and in contrast to. Not sure about the bolded one.

3) A context in which some people are considered subordinate to others and not ‘“equal”: A professor and a teacher assistant, a teacher and a student, an employer and an employee, a cadet and a sergeant, a colonel and a lieutenant.

Of the sentences below,1, 2,and 5 are compound, not complex.

Number 3 is compound and complex because it has two independent clauses and one dependent one.

Unfortunately you needed five complex sentences here. Right?

4.) 1. She walked from school late at night, so she made sure to walk under the bright street lights.
2. I have been feeling really stressed, so I signed up for a spinning class on Fridays and a yoga class on Saturdays.
3 . She majored in computer science, yet she always wonders what her college experience would have been like if she majored in literature.
4. I forgot to read the material for today’s lesson, I felt very uncomfortably lost and didn’t understand most of it. Number 4 is not correct. It is a comma-splice and has no conjunction.
5. I just bought tickets to see a Forest Gump reshowing, so I plan on wearing my “Run Forest Run” t-shirt. In these response windows, you can and should underline or italicize movie and novel titles.

5) Phrases behave like a part of speech; adverbial phrases, adjectival phrases, and noun phrases. A phrase contributes meaning to the sentence by providing additional information about that subject, object, setting, or verb. A sentence can be made up of phrases, however, an isolated phrase can not work as a complete sentence. A clause is any noun phrase in addition to a verb: they can be sentences, but they do not have to be. When writing a sentence, a clause is a complete thought that contains a subject and a verb. source: Khan Academy. YES!

8) A short story in literature can be defined as a brief fictional prose narrative, that is shorter than a novel and typically only deals with a few characters. It is usually around a singular effect or mood that is conveyed in one or more significant scenes or episodes. The story focuses on a self-contained incident or a series of linked incidents that evokes a single attitude or outcome. The most sufficient way to identify them is to look for both a subject and a verb. If you can find both, then it is a clause. If you can only find one or the other, then it is a phrase.

9.) Short stories that I have read in high school are “ The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “The Ballad of the Sad Cafe “by Carson McCullers, and “Of mice and men” by John Steinbeck”.
 All major wordsin titles need capitalized first letters.

This last title is tecnically a novella–a short novel, rather than a short story. These are wonderful readings you have mentioned.
