Standard 08-26-2013

Ah, the perfect car...the perfect home...the perfect vacation.  We all think we have an idea about what those would be, but imagine if you had to make your idea of the perfect something conform to someone else's idea of the perfect something.  Would that be easy?  Probably not.  That's why utopian communities are not so perfect and ideal after all.  Are they really examples of paradise?  We'll read a story called "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury tomorrow in class and see what happens when someone wants to break out from the normal routine.

You know two ways to use a semi-colon.  I want to start seeing them in your writing.  I'll be asking you   to demonstrate your knowledge soon (that means a quiz is coming) so I'd be reviewing my notes often, if I were you.

Here are a list of words you should be familiar with after four days of class:

independent clause
conjunctive adverb
parts of speech
coordinating conjunction
semi-colon

There's more to come so be ready.

See you soon.
