Synopsis

Unlock the secrets of sentence structure with “Sentence Structure: Third Edition,” a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricacies of crafting powerful sentences. This book begins with the basics, breaking down the simple sentence into its core components and exploring the elegance of brevity. It then delves into compound sentences, examining the roles of coordinating conjunctions and the musicality of balanced structures. The complex sentence is unraveled, revealing the power dynamics between independent and dependent clauses, while the compound-complex sentence combines coordination and subordination to create grand structures. The declarative sentence is established as the bedrock of expository writing, and the interrogative sentence ignites intellectual exploration. The imperative sentence issues directives with clarity, and the exclamatory sentence expresses heightened emotions. Conditional sentences weave intricate webs of cause and effect, and relative clauses enrich noun phrases with additional information.

The book continues by demonstrating how cleft sentences strategically emphasize specific elements, and inverted sentences create rhythm and emotional resonance. Parallel structures are unveiled for their elegance and persuasive power, while balanced sentences create a profound sense of harmony. Periodic sentences build suspense by withholding the main clause until the end, and loose sentences capture the unfiltered flow of thought. Elliptical sentences invite the reader to fill in the gaps, and appositive phrases provide additional information with elegance. Absolute phrases paint vivid scenes, and interjections capture unfiltered reactions. “Sentence Structure: Third Edition” is your ultimate guide to mastering the art of sentence construction, enhancing your writing skills, and captivating your readers.

Literature and the New Culture...

Deborah Appleman

Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
 
 
 
Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
 
 
 
In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.
