Remember that the midterm will be given on Monday. No reading homework assigned for the weekend. Enjoy the game and beat Wakefield!
Now, Monday night you will read chapters 9-10 (through the end). Tuesday, we will discuss and test. Discuss + Test = Disgust. Which is how Robert Louis Stevenson would have wanted you to feel after you watch the downward spiral into depravity and decadence into which Dr. Jekyll descends.
GRAMMAR - The style of Robert Louis Stevenson, who of course, is writing during the Victorian era, and who, of course, follows long, elaborate sentence structures, with latin-esque passive voice and compound-complex sentences--the import of which is a marked complexity of both style and substance. Bottom-line: Style often contradicts or complements content. Stevenson's style is elaborate, sophisticated and complex: just like his dark ideas.
CLAUSE: any group of words that contain both a subject and a predicate
Example: I ate a cookie. Subject: I predicate: ate
main (or independent) clauses: have both a subject and a predicate and can stand on their own as a complete thought
Example: I assigned homework over the weekend.
dependent (or subordinate) clauses: have both a subject and a predicate and a tag that makes the thought unable to stand on its own.
Example: Although I wanted to get pizza,
When I see your eyes,
When you combine a main clause with a dependent clause, you get a COMPLEX sentence. If you don't have a dependent clause, you don't have a complex sentence. Flat out. Period. Dang!
Thus, you have four possibilities:
1) Simple.
2) Compound.
3) Complex.
4) Compound-complex
