Show the students how each line has an adjective. The phrase may begin with a verb but there is
still an adjective in each line. Tell the students that we are going to create some art with the names
and adjectives. Using some of the adjectives that they wrote earlier in the lesson, ask the students
to try to think of an adjective to write for each line of their partner's name. (They may ask other
classmates to help and share as this is a fun and enjoyable activity.) Model for the students how
they will take a piece of paper and turn it vertically. Then, they will take a plastic stencil and trace
each letter of their partner's name vertically. (In order to share, some students may brainstorm for
adjectives while other students use the plastic stencil.) Each letter of their partner's name should also
be capitalized in order to stand out when decorated. Now show the students examples of how they
can decorate each letter with a different pattern–for example a solid, polka–dotted, print, or floral
pattern. 6. Have students share art work with the class. Display on wall on bulletin board if desired.
7. Ask students what adjectives they learned today. How do you know a word is an adjective?
Examples of positive adjectives: Bright Imaginative Careful Likable Comical Musical Courteous
Playful Cheerful Quiet Cute Sunny Enthusiastic Sympathetic Fabulous Understanding Friendly
Upbeat Funny Grateful Happy

The Adjective
The Adjective is a notional part of speech expressing quality of substance.
The main syntactical function of an adjective in the sentence is that of an attribute.
e.g. It was a sunny day. The snow fell in large, fluffy flakes. Little Dorothy became a very good
dressmaker. The adjective may also be used as a predicative in the nominal (compound) predicate:
e.g. The day was sunny. The snowflakes were large and fluffy.
The adjective is modified by an adverb which has the syntactical function of an adverbial modifier to
the adjective:
e.g. Are you quite ready? It is rather chilly today.
In Old English Adjectives were inflected for case, number and gender, agreeing with the noun they
modified. But in the course of time these inflexions...show more content...
(O'Henry "The Ransom of the Red Chief" p.13)
–ous
e.g. Well, the whole area's rather drab, absolutely hideous, the villages are all colourless. This was
the most stupendous view from the mountain we have ever seen.
It contained inhabitants of as undeleterious and self–satisfied a class of peasantry as ever clustered
around a Maypole. (O'Henry "The Ransom of the Red Chief" p.1)
–y
e.g. I always look shabby and scruffy and of course I'm a really a clumsy dancer. We had really
ghastly excursions there.
It was, as Bill afterward expressed it, "during a moment of temporary mental apparition"; but we
didn't find that out till later. (O'Henry "The Ransom of the Red Chief" p.1)
There are also some word–building prefixes such as: –un–,–in–,–im–,–ir–.
e.g. Susan felt herself really unhappy because of her incorrect decision, everything went irregular in
her life and it was practically impossible to stay calm in such state.
Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. (O'Henry "The Gift of the
Magi" p.28)
And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who
most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. (O'Henry "The Gift of
the Magi" p.26)
2.Adjectives make our speech more expressive and precise. The role of adjectives is especially
great in fiction. The following descriptive passage demonstrates it
e.g. A brilliant moon rose above the craggy tops of

Personal Adjectives
Everyone has a personal brand given to them by someone they know like a friend or family
member. All brands are different depending on the person and the way people view them. A
personal brand has to do with qualities and adjectives that describe you, what you stand for in the
minds of those who know you, and your goals and purpose in life. Qualities that define my personal
brand include leadership and outgoing qualities. My leadership qualities come from my abilities to
treat others with respect and having an open mind about others opinions. My outgoing qualities
come from my ability to communicate well with others. Three adjectives that describe my personal
brand are friendly, understanding, and generous. I used friendly as an adjective...show more content...
Once I am in college, I want to study to become either a physical therapist or a teacher for kids
with special needs. I want to become a physical therapist because I want to help people get better
and help them get back to their daily routines. At first I wanted to be a doctor because I wanted to
help save people's lives, but I get really grossed out when it comes to blood and open wounds, so
then I decided that I could help people get back on their feet after their surgeries. Becoming a
teacher for kids with special needs is my second career choice because I get really emotional
when I see a poor innocent kid having to suffer. I also get really upset and defensive when people
look and treat them differently because it's not their fault that they are the way they are. I have
learned through experiences that kids with special needs are the most kindest people you could ever
meet and some of them are really funny. I bet at first it will be a lot of hard work, but as time goes
by it will get easier and I will enjoy going to work. My purpose in life is to give back and help others
because I am very thankful and appreciative of everything in my life, which is why my main career
choices have to do with helping

Examples Of Adjectives In Fahrenheit 451
Some adjectives that describe the character Montag are: anger, curiosity and frustration. Threw parts
1–2, Montag has made drastic change. Anger is the first adjective that describes Montag. Trying
to read at the end of part 1, he tried to gain a deeper understanding of the text. Consequently,
having no formal training in the analysis of complex texts he soon became angry and confused.
Using his resources, he tries to seek help from an elderly English professor. Curiosity is the 2nd
adjective that describes Montag. Having a sense of curiosity, he tries to question the world threw
books. Having minimal success, he is not sure what to do. With his shift approaching, he seeks out a

Mark Twain Opinion Essay
People often take grammar seriously, especially English teachers. In the end, we all make
grammatical errors. For myself, I consider it difficult to want to understand adjectives, adverbs, etc.
Have you ever wondered about why and what people made grammar rules? I certainly have today
when I learned more about Mark Twain in class. Mark Twain was an American writer. He came up
with a few simple rules that I should share my opinion on. Accordingly, Mark Twain states that you
should always "kill" the adjective. I understand that he might mean he doesn't want too much
description when it comes to writing about something and describing it. However I strongly believe
adjectives are great for being...show more content...
An example of evidence that I present to you, is in the book, "The Hobbit." I will use the second
page as the example. In the book, it says "The Bagginses had lived in the neighbourhood of The
Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable." That is only a sentence, but
pay attention to the simple words, like respectable, and considered. Those words are plain and simple.
Another point he made, was saying that the writer should say what they have to say, not merely
come near it. But I completely disagree with this. I believe it is right to incorporate themes and
messages in a story by dropping hints, using irony, and possibly foreshadowing. He is wrong in
my opinion. I was always taught to find main ideas in stories. Authors should keep hinting and
foreshadowing, it makes stories much more interesting and detailed. The way that it is detailed,
can give off hints and adjectives that makes you think and gives you clues to find out the message
in a story. Some authors have different writing styles of course. I believe that writers or authors do
not have to cut right to the chase. They can incorporate a message in a story instead of cutting to the
chase, because it makes reading more fun. Generally speaking, I completely disagree with Mark
Twain's statements that you should: "kill" the adjective, "use the right word, not its second cousin,"
and "say what he

3 Adjectives To Describe Yourself
List three adjectives that describe how you see yourself. Give examples to explain why you chose
these adjectives. Three adjectives that I would use to describe myself are thoughtful, passionate, and
strong–willed. I chose thoughtful because I think that when I am in a situation, I am not passing
through it, onto the next thing without thinking. I am, in many cases, critically thinking and
analyzing what is happening around me. I am often very critical, which can be beneficial, but in
most cases, somewhat hinders me. However, I believe that in a situation, I process what is
occurring around me and contemplate and analyze. For example, on a family trip to Sicily, we
attended many local churches, some of the most beautiful I have ever seen,

Why Do Women Use Empty Adjectives
Affective adjectives are added to soften and express emotions towards something, but often lack
meaningful content, which is why they're called 'empty' adjectives. I found quite an abundance of
empty adjectives in Jamie's transcript, such as "beautiful", "gorgeous" and "amazing" which were
repeated several times throughtout his speech. They were mostly used to describe the food he was
making in order to make it seem more appealing and made him sound pleased with what he had
created. Likewise, Gordon Ramsey, in his short transcript, also used a few of the adjectives like
"lovely", in most cases as a finishing statment, at the end of each part of making the cheesecake, that
it was successful.
Robin Lakoff claimed that women use empty adjectives

Describe Me Adjectives
Who Am I?
I am Joseph Kolumber, "Every strikes brings me closer to the next home run." Babe Ruth once
said. I chose this because I love to play baseball and Babe Ruth is the G.O.A.T.
There are many adjectives that describe me. One adjective that describes me is I am fun loving that
describes me by the fact I love to have fun. Another adjective that describes me is that i'm athletic. I
play 2 sports baseball and basketball, I also practice every day. That proves i'm athletic.
My favorite hobby is baseball, I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old. I like baseball
because I love to play it, I like watching the Phillies play every night, and love going to baseball
games. It's been crucial to me because my dad got me into it and

1.6 Adjectives Essay
1.6 Adjective:– An Adjective is a word used to explain the meanings of a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives usually come before the noun. They are sometimes known as 'describing words'. When
two adjectives are used to describe one noun, they are set apart with the use of a comma.
For example:
The lazy dog dozed. The hairy, lazy dog dozed.
The highlighted words in the following sentences are all adjectives:
1."Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."
2.The small boat foundered on the dark sea.
3.The coal mines are dark.
4.The room was filled with large, yellow rain boots.

pronouns or determiners.

meaning to the forms and decide if the Noun is implied.

Adjectives For Red Lobster
Hello Justin, you utilized useful adjectives to help convey your descriptions of the food in your
project. The famous water tank containing the lobsters description that implemented into your
writing was excellent. Anyone that has been to Red Lobster before knows exactly what you are
talking about! Maybe you could also include how you know this person that you interviewed by
stating that she is a co–worker, friend, etc. to help the reader feel more connected. That is the only
other thing that I would like to know about the participant. Otherwise you did a sufficient job
utilizing quotes from your participant in your project. The photos in your project had good
placement, but you could try minimizing them a little more. The last thing I wanted

Assignment 3 Adjectives
The three adjectives that I jotted down about my impression of the scenery were calm, simple,
and almost bare. The stage was small and only had a single bench on it. My first impression of an
almost bare stage was that this was a character based performance and that the audience can focus
on the characters and their development without any props distracting the audience from their
performances. Additionally, the atmosphere felt calm; since there wasn't any props it was soothing
to see only the blue of the stage. It reminded me of the ocean, which is where I go sometimes to
calm myself down if I am stressing out. Furthermore, the stage design was simple, which again
makes the audience focus strictly on the characters instead of being distracted by props. I enjoyed
that aspect because when I usually go see a play, I tend to focus on the props and then I miss out on
the character development....show more content...
In my opinion, the lightning was well done and changed when the scene changed, which is why I
chose mostly colors as adjectives. For example, when it was night, the lights dimmed and turn an
either a dark blue or light purple. When it was time for Proteus to board the boat to Milan, the lights
turned a faint orange, which gives you the impression that he was boarding the boat either early
morning or mid–afternoon. It made it seem as if the sun was either rising or setting. Additionally,
during the opening scene when Valentine exited Verona, the stage and lightning were a sea blue,
which gave the impression that the scene took place near the sea and that the audience was near the
sea as well. It was impressive lightning, and I enjoyed the fact that it changed when the scenery

Synthesis Essay On Julius Caesar
Ideas #43 Synthesis Yes, it is possible to use two adjectives such as pugnacious and incisive to
describe the same thing. A sentence such as, "The incisive girl was quite pugnacious with her words
and knives. Some things that are both truculent and ineluctable could be a large beast–like animal
which is both difficulty to escape and fierce and savage. Something equally savage and
inescapable is a bias debate. Both sides have their own biases and each have cutting words. A
behaviour that can be both infra dig and supererogatory could be a person from the upper class
helping a person from the lower class, in sometime as simple as helping an elderly across the
street. Some plays such as Hamlet can use words such as truculent, supererogatory and recondite.
Other works such as Julius Caesar can be described as pugnacious and incisive. Some of the work
may contain obloquy or diatribe. Imagination and Intuition The pitiless sun beats down on us as
we continue to work like ants to get statues and other objects that guarded the door the key to
uncovering the secrets of the ancient world. Lugging 100 pound objects has taken a toll on my
back and prosthetic leg. Back before the mine explosion, I could have been working for days
straight, but now 6 hours is the most I can go. I head back to my tent where my older brothers
were waiting for me. "Hey, Riley." They greeted. "Hey Trent, John" I respond. Suddenly, one of
my friends Violet comes running in. Panting she says, "Riley, Riley come quick they have
removed all of the barricades." My brothers' eyes light up as we ran to the monument. Hidden
underneath the steps was the entrance. Slowly, we make our way down there. I can see gold and
silver being taking out as far as the room is. Intricate designs on rugs and carved plates pass by us.
All of this was material objects, what I wanted lay inside written in a forgotten language I spent
years mastering. I burst through the doors and I see the message on a large golden plaque. I sigh in
deep content and everyone lets out a cheer. The message read, "Don't let others judge you. Judge
yourself. Improve. Discard." Emotion, Imagination and Intuition I stare at the same four grey walls.

Three Focused Adjectives
All About You
Please list three thoughtful adjectives that you believe best describe who you are and describe why
you selected them.
I believe that I am extremely warm–hearted because I care about people and try to make people feel
special. I am also observational. From a toddler I would just sit, watch, and listen to what was going
on around me. This gives me insight into people as I am not waiting to talk. I understand situations
can contribute when needed. My initial thought of being a doctor came at six and by nine I decided
I might like radiology. This seems to fit with my observational nature, however, whether I continue
with this idea depends on exposure to other disciplines. Finally, I have a persevering and tenacious
character. I do not give up when things are hard. I may stress over them, yet will always find a way
to tackle the situation and succeed.

Since Jesse was a friend of mine, I have been supporting this foundation from the moment it started
with a swim–a–thon for Jesse's Joy Jar program. Working to help children with cancer have some
joy in their life during their struggle with the disease is so important. My focus was to create
awareness about the foundation, to raise funds through cupcake sales (that was her favorite) and
work at the foundation filling Joy Jars. We were successful at accomplishing these goals, but I
would have liked to do more. We had over 100 people show up for our first few meetings and that
did fall to just about 50 people participating in various events. However, the people who continued to
come to the club meetings were amazing, and at our first Courageous Cupcake stand, everyone
brought home–made cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and fudge! We all worked so hard and ended up
making $200, which we donated to Jessie's foundation. Over the year we worked so hard together
and we were all so happy to know we were making a

Descriptive Adjectives
Analysis of Descriptive Adjectives in Two Stories
In any story, the reader needs some way of imagining what the author is writing about. When
writing, authors use descriptive words to illustrate what they are trying to convey to the reader and
to enhance their story. In the stories "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" byWalter Dean Myersand
"The House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer, both authors use descriptive words to develop the
mood of the setting and the characters. In "The Treasure of Lemon Brown," Myers uses descriptive
words to describe the setting, characters, and also the mood. He used such words in a scene from
the story where the main character, Greg, is walking down an empty street and is looking for shelter
from a thunderstorm. The phrase, "Graffiti–scarred building...grim shadows." is used to describe the
buildings around him. These words are used to set up the depressed or ominous mood of the
setting, by using words such as "scarred" and "grim." Those particular words cause it to seem as
though the graffiti is old and permanent, as if the neighborhood has been this way for a while, and
will remain that way: gloomy and depressed. Furthermore, Myers uses these descriptive words to
describe Lemon Brown when he writes, "His black, heavily wrinkled face was surrounded by a
halo of crinkly white hair and whiskers that seemed to separate his head from the layers of dirty
coats piled on his small frame." From this the reader can tell that this is an aged man, who is

Types Of Adjectives In The English Language
One interesting syntactic category in the English language is the adjective. An adjective is defined
as, "A lexical category of words that serve semantically to specify the attributes of nouns and that
can represent degrees of comparison morphologically or syntactically" (Finagen, 2015, pg. 539).
Therefore, adjectives are words which serve to describe a noun or noun phrase and can themselves
be described by words called qualifiers. There exist many difference types of adjectives such as
nominal, denominal, comparative and superlative. In addition, adjective can play a role in
determining sentence meaning and comprehensibility based on word placement.
English Adjective Order: One interesting aspect of adjective use in English is its rigidity in
order and placement within a sentence. When using adjectives to describe a noun a preexisting
order must be followed or native speakers will be unable to infer the intended meaning. The order
which must be followed is: determiner, opinion, size, shape, condition, age, color, origin,
material, noun (Alotaibi, 2016, pg. 2). For example, one could say "the three ugly old red cars"
will make sense whereas rearranging the adjectives would sound odd in the common English
dialect such as in: "the red old three ugly cars". Such orders also exist in other languages such as
French in which adjectives are placed after the word they describe and are placed in the order:
appearance, age, condition, and size (Adjective Placement Within

Well Rounded Adjectives
Well–rounded Liberal Committed I selected those three adjectives to describe myself because I
believe a teacher cannot be perfect by definition, although society imposes this delusional thought
upon us to be so perfect. But when we as educators or teachers are encompassed with the three
referenced adjectives, we are more prone to become more generous in performing our duties, not
just as a job, but an artist that inevitably adds morals, values, color and knowledge to the lives of
others. Throughout the ages, we as teachers are known best for being the instrumental tools in the
lives of many young adults and playing very vital and dynamic roles in the lives of some of the
greatest women and men, therefore believing the power of an educator is unparalleled and to
attempt to describe what we impart into the lives of others with three words is indeed nearly
impossible....show more content...
As teachers or educators, we should be best known by a word that is not an adjective, but a noun,
and that word is "sculptor," because as teaching and educating are, they are privileged works in
which we have the opportunity to honorably sculptor the minds of young and old individuals, and as
well as we have the privilege to work and forge human souls to create the paintings of future history
for many tomorrows to

Sally Lockhart Essay
Introduction There is a variety of ways that Philip Pullman has presented Sally Lockhart. Firstly,
Sally is portrayed as brave because she is really independent: her father is dead, tough/a strong
women as she could stand up for herself and was able to look after herself – especially since she was
only 16 years old and the book was based in the Victorian Era therefore, there was a bit of sexism,
saying that only male's could do certain things. Pullman also shows the reader that Sally is very
mature and intelligent. Throughout the opening chapters, Pullman introduces us to a nightmare that
Sally has about her father and the description makes her seem so intriguing because she was a
person who didn't need company and would still be happy however...show more content...
This is because everyone treasures the ruby and wants to have it so badly – able to sacrifice for it –
and when Sally is in possession of the ruby; she does not value it as the others do. This is implied
in the quote 'in the centre of the crumpled whiteness was a dome of blood. It was hard and cold.'
The dome of blood resembles the danger of the ruby; Sally does not have the need to feel that this
is something, which she must treasure like the others who have been intoxicated by it. Instead, it
is just shown by the adjectives used: 'hard,' and 'cold.' The repetition of 'and,' puts emphasis on
each description of the ruby, showing how empty of emotion it is to Sally. Mrs Holland was so
obstinate that she wanted the ruby; she ends up dying after telling Sally all the information she
wanted to know. She wanted to know how her father died and why, and this is when she finds out
that her real father was Major Marchbanks. Mrs Holland died because she jumped into the river
with the ruby that Sally threw it into. The ruby mesmerized Major Marchbanks and he wanted to
trade the ruby for Sally when she was a little baby. Captain Lockhart thought that Major
Marchbanks was a coward and so he decided to be the father of Sally, as she would have died. In
chapter 19, she finds herself shooting the man that killed her father – Hendrik Van Eeden or Ah
Ling. You can see that she bottles

Three Adjectives
What are three adjectives you would use to most accurately describe your character? Three
adjectives that I would use to describe Juror #11 is that he is logical, reasonable, and a just man.
He questioned some of the evidences that he found questionable and had a strong sense of justice
and reasoning behind why he believed the boy was innocent. What do you see as the motivating
or driving force behind your character? That is, what pushes him to say what he says and do what
he does? The motivating force behind Juror #11 is his sense of justice. He believes that it is the
duty of the jurors to judge the defendant fairly and honestly. He also has a strong sense of American
pride even though he is a foreigner –– a strong admirer of American rights.

Personal Narrative-Stronger Adjectives
I had my resume reviewed on September 16 at the drop in, in McNeal Hall. I gained valuable
feedback about my resume during the short amount of time that I was there. The first feedback
that I received was to get rid of bullet point marks. The reason why they wanted me to get rid of
the bullet point marks was, they felt that they were distracting. The second piece of feedback that
I received was, I need to incorporate stronger adjectives. The reviewer noticed that I could use
stronger adjectives, when it came to describing my work experience. Which would then help my
resume stand out more. The last piece of feedback that I received from the reviewer was to shift all
of the dates on my resume to one side. The reasoning why she wanted me to do
