I know you probably won't like this song, but I was listening to it on the way home and thought of you guys during the second verse. So, I thought I'd share the lyrics and the link of one of my favorite cover artists: Kina Grannis...do with them what you will. I know I'm corny.

See you tomorrow.

LYRICS:
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

Revising your Paragraph: First Impression of Abigail Williams

What I Expect for Your Paragraph:

• Identify which of the 6 logical fallacies you have used.
  
• Identify other errors with the structure and mechanics of your original paragraph.
  
• Create an interesting hook.
  
• Type and resubmit paragraph with rough draft attached.
  

 

Helpful Hints:

1. Books are heavy. They are placed on a shelf (when handwritten). They tilt (when typed).
   
2. The correct way to cite a quote:
   
   1. "I am happy" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If the sentence that you are quoting ends with a period, do not put include it. Instead, please put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

   2. "Are you happy?" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If the sentence that you are quoting ends with a question mark, include it. You must also put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

   3. "Yay!" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If the sentence that you are quoting ends with an exclamation mark, include it. You must also put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

   4. "…when I was telling the story…" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If you are not quoting an entire sentence, you can use ellipses […] to show where you have shortened the quote. You must also put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

3. You may change words in a quote. The words you've changed must be surrounded by the following brackets: "She [Abigail]" or you can simply state "[Abigail]," leaving the original "she" out.
   

UPDATE: Homework DUE Monday 10/5

Please finish Act I of The Crucible for class a written quiz. Be sure to take notes...perhaps you will be rewarded if there, perchance, was a quiz. Today we spoke about the flaws in your writing. Most of the flaws pertain to the logic of your arguments. Be aware that we will be reviewing the flaws again tomorrow and revising our paragraphs in class.

NATURAL LANGUAGE

 

DIRECTIONS: Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible in 1953 and since he sought to make his work historically accurate, he crafted dialogue that was natural for the time period. Though many of us sigh at the thought of reading literature like this, it is simple to follow if we follow some logical steps. First, let me start by reminding you that when people are having a conversation, they often speak using incorrect grammar. Likewise, some of the dialogue in The Crucible is written informally to make it seem more realistic to the reader. Let's take a look at one example.

 

• As an example, read the following quotation and think how it can be rewritten more formally:
  

  "Abby, we've got to tell. Witchery's a hangin' error, a hangin' like they done in Boston two year ago! We must tell the truth, Abby! You'll only be whipped for dancin', and the other things!" (Pg. 18-19)
  

  
   

• Now examine the same quotation that has been rewritten to follow the formal grammar rules of the English language:
  

  Abigail, we have to tell because witchcraft is a sin for which we can be hanged; witches were hanged two years ago in Boston. We have to tell the truth, Abigail! If you tell the truth, you will only be whipped for dancing and the other activities!
  

  
   

DIRECTIONS (con't): So, I'd like you to get acclimated to the language of The Crucible today. This will help not only during this unit, but for future units and any other piece of literature like this that you encounter

 

Remember these guidelines for understanding this style of writing:

• Change archaic words:
  
  • DOST/DOTH—does (verb)
    
  • HAST/HATH—has (verb)
    
  • NAUGHT—nothing (pronoun)
    
  • THEE—you (pronoun: object form)
    
  • THINE—your (possessive pronoun)
    
  • THITHER—there; to that place (adverb)
    
  • THOU—you (pronoun: subject form)
    
  • THY—your (possessive pronoun)
    
  • THYSELF—yourself (reflexive pronoun)
    
  • 'TIS—it is
    
  • WHENCE—from where; from what source; from what place (adverb)
    
• Omit contractions. For example, replace "we've" with "we have."
  
• Omit any dialect, dated, or slang terminology, such as "dancin'."
  
• Write in complete sentences. Sometimes we do not speak in complete sentences, but it is best to write using formal language for academic purposes. Also, combine multiple short sentences into longer, more complex sentences.
  
• Omit any unnecessary words.
  
• Add words for clarity if necessary.
  
• Do not begin sentences with "and" or "but," simply begin the sentence with the next word in the sentence.
  
• Fix all grammatical errors.
  
• Improve vocabulary as much as possible.
  

1. "He bid me come and tell you, reverend sir, that he cannot discover no medicine for it in his books" (Miller 9).
   

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

2. "She ails as she must—she never waked this morning, but her eyes open and she walks, and hears naught, sees naught, and cannot eat. Her soul is taken, surely" (Miller 13).
   

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

3. "It's weirdish, I know not—she seems to walk like a dead one since last night" (Miller 18).
   

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

4. "No, he'll be comin' up. Listen, now; if they be questioning us, tell them we danced—I
   

   told him as much already" (Miller 18).
   

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

5. "I'll show you a great doin' on your arse one of these days. Now get you home; my wife is
   

   waitin' with your work!" (Miller 21).
   

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

6. "I cannot sleep for dreamin'; I cannot dream but I wake and walk about the house as
   

   though I'd find you comin' through some door" (Miller 23).
   

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

7. "She is blackening my name in the village! She is telling lies about me! She is a cold,
   

snivelling woman, and you bend to her! Let her turn you like a–" (Miller 23-24).

HOMEWORK FOR TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
