The day before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the city, in fear of incendiary raids, had put hundreds of schoolgirls to work helping to tear down houses and clear fire lanes. They were out in the open when the suffered bad burns and later developed ugly keloids on their faces, arms, and hands. A month after Tanimoto returned from his second tip to the states, he stated, dozen of them. He bought three sewing machines and put the girls to work in a dressmaking workshop on the second floor of another of his projects, a warwidows’ home he had founded. He asked the city government for funds for plastic surgery for the keloids Girls. It turned him down. He then applied to the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission, which had been set up to study the radiation aftereffects of the bomb-aftereffects that those who made the decision to drop the bomb had utterly failed for foresee. The A.B.C.C. reminded him that it carried on research, not treatment. (The A.B.C.C. was keenly resented for this reason by hibakusha; they said that the Americans regarded them as a laboratory guinea pigs or rats.) p141

In the village of Mukaira, he tried to be as inconspicuous-as Japanese-as he could. He sometimes wore Japanese clothes. Not wanting to seem high-living, he never bought meat in the local market, but sometimes he smuggled some out from the city. A Japanese priest who occasionally came to see him, father Hasegawa, admired his efforts to carry his naturalization through to perfection but found him in many ways unshakably German. He had a tendency when he was rebuffed in an undertaking to stubbornly push all the harder straight for it, whereas a Japanese would more tactfully look for some way around. Father Hasegawa noticed that when Father Takakura was hospitalized, he rigidly respected the hospital’s visiting hours, and if people came, even from far away, to see him, outside proper hours, he refused to receive them. Once, eating with his friend, Father Hasegawa declined his host’s offer of a bowl of rice; he was full. But then delicious pickles appeared, which caused a Japanese palate to cry out for rice, and he decide to have a bowl after all. Father Takakura was outraged (i.e. , in his guest’s view, German ): how could he eat rice plus pickle when he had been too full to eat rice alone?p.114

The Inuit would put a small piece of feather over the hole and stand with bone harpoon ready and when the seal came into the hole the air pushing ahead of its body would ruffle the feather and the hunter would lunge with the harpoon and bury the barber head in the seal.

All assistance that contribute to revising this answer is greatly appreciate.

assignment#10B

A coyote perhaps, brush wolf as they called the up north, or maybe a timber wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other.

What is the sentence type her, and why?

OA: This sentence has one dependent clause with “they” as the subject and “called” as the verb. So it’s a fragment.

RA: “A coyote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north” is the only clause in this sentence with “they called” as the subject verb combination. So with only one dependent clause we can conclude that this sentence is a fragment-complex sentence.

assignment#10A

Q: According to the story, what is a “grapnel,” and how does it work exactly?

OA: A “grapnel” is a more bigger peace than a bow. It releases the arrow very fast so it’s hard to miss your target. This is what David used to hunt with.

RA: A grapnel is a small anchor with four inches rounded point. In the book Brian would drop the hook and let it bite into the weeds and mud on the bottom and tie it off to the bow of the canoe to hold on to it.

Assignement #5

This two sentences are simple because they only have one independent clause.( http://www.cambronrebeca.blogspot.com/).

This is an example of a complex sentence with one independent clause and a dependent clause introduced by the subordinator “because”.

In these sentences, there are only one independent clause. (http://yjpapaya.blogspot.com/).

Student #2 here used a beautiful simple sentence. One subject verb combination (there – are) , one clause making complete sense, a simple sentence.

We want it to goes the ways we want. (http://minh-khieu.blogspot.com/).

This sentence has two subject verb combinations (we-want) where both make sense alone. Nice example of a compound sentence.

The sentence has two subject-verbs, and both of them are independent clauses because the clause which is “so that pretty much wiped out the four-million-dollar boats” starts with “so” to combine these two independent clauses. (http://chin-yin.blogspot.com/).

This sentence is compound complex because it has four subject verb combination with two dependent clauses and two independent clauses.

sentences type

Simple
I was there six days and nights.p.6
This sentence only has one subject and verb combination, makes completely sense by itself , consequently it is a simple sentence

Compound
The salt in the wood makes it slow to burn and it was difficult to light. P.6
This clause has two subject and verb combinations separated by the conjunction “and” and which makes sense individually: two simple sentences

Complex
When I was about fourteen, I made one wild attempt at sailing. P.8
The first sentence starts with subordination conjunction “when” making the first sentence a subordinated clause while the second sentence is a complete simple sentence.

Compound complex
Then I began to read about the sea and found that the Pacific Ocean was so enormous it dominated the entire planet; all the land mass in the world could fit inside the Pacific and there would still be sea around it. P. 10
This clause is collection of two independent clauses and two dependent clauses that make it a compound complex sentence.

Type unsure
Maybe I longed for it now because of all the time spent eating sand in the winds of the desert.

caught by the sea

I went away from there a new person, and I also began to understand things about mself, that I must see and know the oceans. I ust go to the sea, as the writers Herman Melville and Richard Henry Dana, Jr. , and Ernest K. Gannand Sterling Hayden had done. Like them, I must seek myself there, as the novelist James Jones did as he was writing Go to the Window-Marker.
To do that, I would need a boat.

This passage is very important because this where he realizes that he need to get away to the sea and see and do those amazing things other writers like him did. This passage is where the whole story starts. He is self consious that he had to go seek hiself and understand what he will find.
