Writing Complex Sentences (note)

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause . An independent clause is a group of words that could be a sentence . e.g. "I am happy" . A dependent clause is a group of words that can not  be a sentence by itself e.g. "When i ski". A dependent clause can help form a sentence when it works with an independent clause e.g. I am happy when i ski. Other joining words are that, who, which, but, after, for, since, while, through.
Not a complex sentence : I was hungry, then I ate dinner.

I was shocked when Napoleon let the humans on the farm and let them look at the way he ran the farm it was messed up. Either way i enjoyed the book alot.

Lightning Rod

1)Critical literacy: I think the computer has control over this conversation. Raquel has control once the conversation ends because the power goes out and she is left to talk to her self.


2)Making inferences:The dialogue while they're talking is more serious than Raquel could ever imagine.She has learned she has to learn about the earth and the universe before anything else.

3)literary devices:The story is called lightning rod because this girl is a conductor for things to happen.It serves as a symbol because she has the need to interact with the "computer."I think the title inferes that she is a good person to talk to about the world and its problems.

''Small Insperation''

connection # 1) I made a conection when she said that her sister was the only reason she got out of bed on some days like me with my nephew Domanick i would do anything for him .

connection # 2) I can relate to this girl because she has two houses and two rooms just like me i have a room at my dads and at my moms houses its awesome.

connection # 3) I have another connection when she said she can't communicate with anyone at her dads house i can't either his girlfriends sons are always in their rooms and i wouldn't know what to talk about anyway.

connection # 4 ) When she says that her little sister is her inspeeration its like that with me and my nephews Domanick & Alex i look up to them all the stuff they have been thru and they are only 1 and 2 i mean its hard to imagine whats going on with their lives its family stuff or i'd tell i what goes on .

My finale thought is life is cruel but we can make it better.

Courage

Courage to me is a state of mind where all the person can think of is helping  or saving someone or something from danger  Like when i was 8 I saw a kitten getting attacked by a dog i saved the kittens life and the dog was put down but i like cats better anyway.
