Today in our class discussion, we first learned to used the terms "retrospect" and "borne away" in a correct manner. In addition we learned the proper placement for a semi-colon. Here are some examples of the terms used correctly.
"In retrospect, I noticed that my choice in fashion was quite horrid freshman year."
"Borne away, the sunbus took me to the mall."
"I have several pet-peeves: snoring,nail biting,burping, and spitting."
Following the session, we began to read "The Last Meow". In doing so, we broke down the first three paragraphs in order to analyze what we were reading. The first paragraph was formed to describe the cat with a massive amount of pathos. The pathos used, formed an emotion of glamour and beauty to describe cat in her last days of life. Using pathos was a strong introduction to the following paragraph that contrasts a middle-class man (owner of the cat) from Delaware in Upper East Side, New York City. Using deductive reasoning, the reader can understand that this man wouldn't be such a hectic city if his cat wasn't in dire need of medical attention. Lastly, in the third paragraph we were taught the simplicity of coherency. The first sentence of the second that third paragraph and very much coherent to each other, regardless of the fact that they are not next to each other.
Apples and pears,
