Read the excerpt from A Farewell to Arms
The major asked me to have a drink with him and two other officers. We drank rum and it was very friendly. Outside it
was getting dark. I asked what time the attack was to be and they said as soon as it was dark. I went back to the
drivers. They were sitting in the dugout talking and when I came in they stopped. I gave them each a package of
cigarettes, Macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have the ends twisted before
you smoked them. Manera lit his lighter and passed it around. The lighter was shaped like a Fiat radiator. I told them
what I had heard.
In the passage, Hemingway's characterization of the narrator and his peers
provides important details about their backgrounds.
allows the reader to fill in the details without being given all of the information
slows down the narrative to allow the reader
develops only one character at a time to not overwhelm the reader.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

hasty generalization

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
