    Arielle-aamgroup

    Mr.Buxton, never is a portmanteau word. It is a combination of not and ever. Anisha told me, but she is using my account.

    Devastation, corruption, and much, much more. The Great Depression of the 1930' caused much craze about the piling debt in the world of debt.

    Anisha's paragraph

    It captures everything, from the joy of the characters to the sway of the chandelier, but what really makes you fall in love with this suspenseful novel are the obstacles that come in each character’s way.

    This sentence is too long! Can anyone help me split it up so that it still makes sense?

  21. HanApril 3, 2012 at 6:07 PM

    How about....

    It captures everything, from the joy of the characters to the sway of the chadelier. You will fall in love with this suspenseful novel
    for obstacles that come in each character's way.

    Not sure... but how about that?

    save them on hard drive , then upload

    Maya - used the word debt twice... also craze does not fit.

    typo 10.6


    avoid the 'it' - use the author's name

    get rid of you - change to 'readers' - sentence is good.. just a compound with an opening phrase

    does anyone know for the midnight magic paragraph, do we write the paragraph in pairs, or do we just get notes as pairs and write the paragraphs ourselves?

  28. Maddy ZApril 3, 2012 at 6:45 PM

    Notes as pairs and write by yourself...

  29. Maya S.April 3, 2012 at 6:46 PM

    I think you write it by yourself.
    Mr. Buxton- That was Anisha's sentence, but I am surprised how we didn't notice that we used debt twice.

    That was my paragraph, Mr.Buxton.
    I meant for the second one to be money. I don't know what to put for ''craze". I was struggling with it, so i put craze. What word would fit there?

    For the mics. uses of commas, do you use commas for a nonessential clause or for an essential clause?

  33. Maddy ZApril 3, 2012 at 7:07 PM

    NON-essential, Maya.
