(PART TWO) You will read the following article: “Amanda Feilding: Woman with a Hole in her Head” and answer the questions that follow. GRAMMAR! (PART THREE) Parts of a sentence: Know the parts of a sentence! Subject The subject of a sentence is the noun---or word group acting as a noun---that performs the action expressed in the predicate of a sentence or clause. The subject may be one word: Sally loves chocolate. The subject may be in a noun phrase: Seeing the parade was exciting. The black and white dog was barking fiercely at the stranger. Predicate The predicate is the part of the clause or sentence that says something about the subject. In other words, the part of the sentences that is not the subject and its modifiers is the predicate. A predicate can be one word or several words, not all of which are verbs. The principal part of the predicate is the verb. The dog sniffed. The dog has been sniffing. The dog sniffed, looked around, and growled. Compound verbs are two or more verbs joined by a conjunction, (in this sentence, the word and) and relating to the same subject. The subject of the following sentences is cobra: The cobra saw the dog coming closer and raised itself into striking position. The cobra hissed, opened its hood, and prepared to strike. Complete predicates are all the words in a clause or sentence except the subject and its modifiers: The cobra saw the dog coming closer and raised itself into striking position. The agile dog moved from side to side rapidly, trying to corner the cobra. Do Not Write on Exam!!!! 2 English 436 Do Not Write on Exam! Second Semester Final Exam 2016 Study Guide! Dulski Do Not Write on Exam! Objects The object of a sentence can be a noun, pronoun, or word group that acts as a noun, and receives the action of a verb or is influenced by a transitive verb, verbal (a word derived from a verb, i.e., gerund, infinitive, and participle), or a preposition. (More on Objects) 1. Direct object: Receives the action of a verb or verbal and frequently follows it in a sentence. Direct objects are often needed to complete the thought of a sentence. "Rueben reads the newspaper." "Reuben reads" is a complete sentence, but it doesn't express the complete thought. Reuben reads what? He reads the newspaper. 2. Indirect object: Tells for whom, to whom, or to what something is done. "Reuben reads his grandmother the newspaper." Reuben reads the newspaper to whom? to his grandmother. Grandmother is the indirect object. Pronouns are also used as indirect objects: "Reuben reads her the newspaper." Indirect objects often come between the verb and the direct object. The sentence could also be: "Reuben reads the newspaper to his grandmother." The prepositional phrase to his grandmother is the indirect object of the sentence. 3. Object of Preposition: Objects follow prepositions and are linked by them to the rest of the sentence. (See Prepositional Phrase) Complements (See also Complements page) A word or word group that completes the meaning of a subject, an object, or a verb. 1. Subject complement: Follows a linking verb and modifies or refers to the subject. It may be a noun (also known as a predicate noun or nominative) or an adjective (also known as a predicate adjective). Olivia is pretty. (The adjective pretty is a subject complement; it describes the subject, Olivia.) Annie is an English teacher. (The noun phrase English teacher is also a subject complement; it describes Annie.) 2. Object complement: Follows and modifies or refers to a direct object. Blake considers American television silly. (television is the direct object. silly describes television; it is the object complement.) The judges elected her Miss Brazil, 2002. (Miss Brazil is the object complement, describing the direct object her.) Do Not Write on Exam!!!! 3 English 436 Do Not Write on Exam! Second Semester Final Exam 2016 Study Guide! Dulski Do Not Write on Exam! 3. Verb complement: This is a direct or indirect object of a verb. It may be a noun, pronoun, or word or word group acting as a noun. Aunt Gertie gave Patty my dessert. (Patty is the indirect object, my dessert is the direct object of the verb gave. Both are considered verb complements.) The Phrase: Kinds of Phrases and Their Functions Know the different phrases! A phrase is a group of words without both a subject and predicate. Phrases combine words into a larger unit that can function as a sentence element. For example, a participial phrase can include adjectives, nouns, prepositions and adverbs; as a single unit, however, it functions as one big adjective modifying a noun (or noun phrase). See this overview of phrases for more. Noun Phrase - "The crazy old lady in the park feeds the pigeons every day." A noun phrase consists of a noun and all of its modifiers, which can include other phrases (like the prepositional phrase in the park). More examples. o Appositive Phrase - "Bob, my best friend, works here" or "My best friend Bob works here." An appositive (single word, phrase, or clause) renames another noun, not technically modifying it. See this page from the Armchair Grammarian for everything you ever wanted to know about appositives. o Gerund Phrase - "I love baking cakes." A gerund phrase is just a noun phrase with a gerund as its head. o Infinitive Phrase - "I love to bake cakes." An infinitive phrase is a noun phrase with an infinitive as its head. Unlike the other noun phrases, however, an infinitive phrase can also function as an adjective or an adverb. More examples. Verb Phrase - The verb phrase can refer to the whole predicate of a sentence (I was watching my favorite show yesterday) or just the verb or verb group (was watching). Adverbial Phrase - The adverbial phrase also has two definitions; some say it's a group of adverbs (very quickly), while others say it's any phrase (usually a prepositional phrase) that acts as an adverb -- see this second definition. Adjectival Phrase - As with adverbial phrases, adjectival phrases can either refer to a group of adjectives (full of toys) or any phrase (like a participial or prepositional phrase) that acts as an adjective -- see this second definition. Participial Phrase - "Crushed to pieces by a sledgehammer, the computer no longer worked" or "I think the guy sitting over there likes you." A participial phrase has a past or present participle as its head. Participial phrases always function as adjectives. Prepositional Phrase - "The food on the table looked delicious." A prepositional phrase, which has a preposition as its head, can function as an adjective, adverb, or even as a noun. Do Not Write on Exam!!!! 4 English 436 Do Not Write on Exam!

Unlike participial phrases, absolute phrases have subjects and modify the entire sentence, not one noun. Almost a clause, the absolute phrase can include every sentence element except a finite verb. For example, "My cake finally baking in the oven" would be its own sentence if you just added one finite verb: "My cake was finally baking in the oven." See Absolute Phrase for more. ESSAY/SHORT ANSWER (PART FOUR) Directions: On the writing sheet provided, answer all three short essay questions using examples and details from The Kite Runner. Get to writing and quite complaining! DAZZLE ME!!! 1. What role does religion play in the lives of Baba, Amir, and Assef, and in the novel as a whole? 2. How does the author, Khaled Hosseini, use irony* in the novel? 3. What is the significance of rape in the novel? *Irony (from Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία (eirōneía), meaning "dissimulation, feigned ignorance"), in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case. Irony may be divided into categories such as verbal, dramatic, and situational. Verbal, dramatic, and situational irony are often used for emphasis in the assertion of a truth. The ironic form of simile, used in sarcasm, and some forms of litotes can emphasize one's meaning by the deliberate use of language which states the opposite of the truth, denies the contrary of the truth, or drastically and obviously understates a factual connection. Other forms, as identified by historian Connop Thirlwall, include dialectic and practical irony. CONGRATULATIONS AND HAVE A GREAT SUMMER, LIFE, EXPERIENCE!!! Do Not Write on Exam!!!! 5
