House on Mango Street
Section 1...
~The author uses long sentences using or, and also, and.
In the beginning of the paper, the author gives us a lot of information and details about certain little things. Having a flow with many details connected with the use of and, or, and also. This creates a good flow to the piece as all the sentences connect. There are no thoughts that are interrupted which allows an easy flow to the piece of text. The text provides intentionally changing sentence lengths between these long sentences connected to, a very short sentence we see at the end of paragraphs.
Section 2...
~Author uses repetition by starting most sentences with "But,..."
Throughout the whole paper their is use of different tones, but an overall theme. The use of this technique allows the repetition and contradiction of the piece of text. Adding the "but" creates a feel of two sides of the story. This creates an easy flow, but helps us not get lost in the middle of novels, speeches, papers, or books. Elements of the novel are conjoined together by using this technique.
Section 3...
~Author connects her sentences using and.
The use of the and constantly reminds me of a little kid. When they stumble to tell a story and always connect their sentences. With their brains working faster than their mouth.. and and and and and.They signal to the reader the relationship between ideas in a paragraph or even between paragraphs. By connecting larger ideas, they let readers know what to do with the information presented to them. These connections helps reinforce the argument within a paper.
I like how you looked at sentence structure when writing this blog post. I am interested what exactly is the House on Mango Street about? It seems like a really relaxed piece of writing. AWESOME post, keep up the good work:)
ReplyDeleteI loved your different sections of the paper and how detailed they are going into specifics on what exactly went well with the story The House on Mango Street, I think to maybe even better create this piece you could have referenced to the Five Aspects of Writing Voice somewhere within the piece specifically. One question, which of the five sections are you bringing out from the Five aspects of Writing Voice in your piece? Do they all come from the same aspect or different ones?
ReplyDeleteLakin, you did a fantastic job. I loved the way this was formatted. you got creative with it and looks great. I would agree with all that you said. You sis a great job of showing me what the author did, rather than, telling me what the author did. Once again, great job
