Notes on Clauses and Sentence Structures a. A clause is a word group that contains a verb and its subject. It is used as a sentence or part of a sentence. b. An independent clause (or main clause) expresses a complete thought and can stand by itself as a sentence. c. A dependent clause (or subordinate clause) does not express a complete thought and cannot stand by itself as a sentence. i. A dependent clause often begins with a relative pronoun or a subordinating conjunction. ii. Relative Pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that iii. Subordinating Conjunctions: after, because, if, since, until, when, where, why d. There are four sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. They are determined by the number of [independent] and (dependent) clauses they contain. i. A simple sentence contains one independent clause and no subordinate clauses. [I drove to the theater last night.] ii. A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses and no subordinate clauses. [I drove to the theater last night], and [I watched Hugo.] iii. A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one subordinate clause. (Since I wanted to watch a movie), [I drove to the theater last night.] iv. A compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and at least one subordinate clause. (Because I was hungry), [I drove to the store], and [I bought groceries.] 2. Notes: Run-on sentences a. A run-on sentence can be a fused sentence or a comma splice. i. R/O - I was hungry I went to the grocery store. ii. C/S - I was hungry, I went to the grocery store. b. Three ways to fix a run-on sentence: i. Add a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, so). 1. Ex/ I was hungry, and I went to the grocery store. ii. Add a semicolon (;). 1. Ex/ I was hungry; I went to the grocery store. iii. Add a semicolon (;) and a conjunctive adverb (therefore, instead, meanwhile, still, however). 1. Ex/ I was hungry; therefore, I went to the grocery store. Lesson 17 - January 9/10, 2012 English 10 SOL 1. Literary Criticism – “Charming Billy” Questions, 2 through 6 from page 630. 2. It is ironic that Billy Boy Watkins dies from fear. Billy thinks he will die from the wound, but his fear of dying causes his heart attack. It is also ironic that Billy Boy’s body falls from the medevac helicopter because readers would expect his body to be treated with respect. 3. The song “Where Have You Gone, Billy Boy?” is sung by PFC Paul Berlin to help him forget he is afraid, and it is used in a morbid way when the soldiers are searching for Billy Boy’s body. The flashbacks to safe camping trips contrast with the danger of the jungle. Paul’s giggling shows that he cannot control himself because of his fear. He could not stop laughing just as Billy could not stop his fear. Toby represents friendship and learning through experience. 4. Paul Berlin has discovered that war can be more than trying to kill an enemy; the soldiers have to conquer their fear. One theme of this story is that fear can be as destructive as the cause of the fear. 5. Tim O’Brien’s tone is dark and threatening. He describes the fear as “like the nighttime fears of a child, a boogey man in the closet ….” 6. Paul Berlin expects to feel safe and to relax when he and the other soldiers reach the sea. He wants to dig a hole in the sand and look at the clouds; instead, he continues to feel fear even when he reaches the sea. 2. Historical criticism uses information about the society when the story was written or set to understand the story. 3. Biographical criticism uses background information from the author’s life to understand the story. 4. A primary source is a first-hand (eye-witness) account, original material that has not been interpreted or edited by other writers. 5. A secondary source contains information (often researched in primary sources) that is retold, summarized, or interpreted by the writer.
