Parallel structure involves using the same grammatical pattern for elements that have equal importance. It originated in oral traditions and is used in poetry, rhetoric, and business writing to organize ideas, communicate effectively, and persuade. Parallel structure can be created using words, phrases, or clauses connected with coordinating conjunctions. Examples of parallel structure include verb phrases like "I came, I saw, I conquered" and adjective lists like "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Practicing parallel structure involves analyzing examples from everyday speech, advertising, music, and literature and then incorporating it into one's own writing.

Poet1
This document defines and provides examples of common types of figurative language used in poetry: simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, and onomatopoeia. Similes make comparisons using "like" or "as", metaphors describe one thing as another without those words, personification gives human traits to non-human things, alliteration repeats initial sounds, and onomatopoeia imitates actual sounds. Examples for each type are given.
Elements of poetry
This document provides an overview of the key elements of poetry, including lines, stanzas, rhyme, rhythm, meter, mood, tone, imagery, and figures of speech such as simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole. It explains that poetry uses few words and imagery to convey messages and emotions through the creative use of these literary techniques.
Rhyme 2012
Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds in two or more words. There are three types of perfect rhymes: masculine, feminine, and triple. Holorhyme is when the rhyme extends to the beginning of the line so that two lines sound identical. Examples are provided to illustrate different types of rhymes including perfect rhyme, feminine rhyme, and rhyme schemes in bound verse.
Apostrophe presentation
The apostrophe has three main uses: 1) to form possessives, 2) to show contractions, and 3) to form some plural forms. It is used to create possessive forms for singular and plural nouns, especially person names. When forming possessives of plural nouns, the plural is formed first before adding the apostrophe. Contractions allow blending of sounds by omitting letters from verb constructions, with the apostrophe showing the omission. The apostrophe is also used to form plurals of digits and letters.
Definite article the
The article "the" is used before nouns in several contexts:
- Before nouns that are specific or unique, such as names of places, organizations, rivers, mountain ranges, oceans, etc.
- For nouns referring to parts of the day (morning, evening), seasons, historical periods, and proper nouns with "of".
- When the noun is definite or specific within the context, such as "What is on the desk?".
The articles "a" and "an" are indefinite articles used before singular nouns when first mentioned. The definite article "the" is used for nouns after the first mention to make them specific. The zero article is used without an article
The Translation Of Proper Names And Institutional Andop
- Proper names of people, objects, or processes unique to a single ethnic group should generally not be translated unless there is an accepted translation.
- Historical and biblical figures that are well known can be translated, while surnames of artists and writers may be left untranslated or "naturalized".
- Names in fiction can be translated if the characters and settings are familiar to the target culture.
- Folktales and children's literature names are usually translated while folk heroes' names may be left untranslated.
- Trademarks, brands, and proprietary names should not be translated unless they have become generic terms.
Conjunctions (to use) 1
This document defines and provides examples of different types of conjunctions:
- Coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) join individual words, phrases, and independent clauses.
- Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and indicate the relationship between clauses.
- Correlative conjunctions always appear in pairs to link equivalent sentence elements like "both...and", "either...or", etc.

It provides examples of each pattern in words and lines of poetry. The document also explains poetic meter as the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables that occur at regular intervals. It describes how poetic feet are combined into different line lengths or meters, such as iambic pentameter. Overall, the document provides an overview of the basic rhythmic building blocks and patterns found in poetry.
The figures of speech
This document defines and provides examples of three figures of speech: onomatopoeia, personification, and irony. Onomatopoeia uses words that phonetically imitate sounds, like "sizzle" and "howl." Personification gives human traits to non-human things, like saying leaves "danced to the ground." There are three types of irony: verbal irony uses sarcasm, situational irony involves unexpected outcomes, and dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something characters do not.
Cw poetry rhyme
This document defines and provides examples of different types of rhyme that can be used in poetry.

Lesson 08 and 09
The document defines different types of phrases and provides examples. It explains that a phrase is a group of related words that functions as a single part of speech but does not contain both a subject and verb. It then defines prepositional phrases as including a preposition, noun or pronoun, and any modifiers. Prepositional phrases can be adjective phrases or adverb phrases. Adjective phrases modify nouns and answer questions like what, which, how many. Adverb phrases answer questions about when, where, how, why, how often and modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Examples of different types of phrases are provided.
Apostrophe.ppt
The apostrophe has a few key uses:
1. To show possession, as in "the mayor's car" or "my father's moustache".
2. To show contractions, as in "I'm" or "they've".
3. To form some plural forms, such as plurals of digits or letters like "4 a's" or "mind your p's and q's".
Meter
This document discusses poetic meter and feet. It explains that meter gives poetry its unique rhythm and has two main parts - the number of syllables in each line and which syllables are stressed. To determine the meter, one scans a poem by identifying patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables called metrical feet. Common feet include iambs, trochees, anapests and dactyls. The meter of a poem is described using two words, such as iambic pentameter, with the first referring to the foot and the second referring to the number of feet per line. Examples are provided to illustrate different meters.
Structure of English Articles Presentation
The document defines and compares definite and indefinite articles in English. It notes that the definite article is "the" and is used to refer to things already mentioned. The indefinite articles are "a" and "an" and are used for things not yet mentioned. It provides examples of when to use each type of article with singular and plural nouns, nouns beginning with consonants vs. vowels, proper nouns, superlatives and other cases.
Prefix suffix
Prefixes and suffixes are groups of letters that can be added to words to change their meaning. A prefix is added at the beginning of a word, like "un-" meaning "not" in "unhappy." A suffix is added at the end, like "-less" meaning "without" in "flavorless." Common prefixes and suffixes are used productively in English to create new words describing modern concepts. Examples include "multi-" for "multicultural" and "-ize" to form verbs from nouns like "idolize."

The document discusses the tourist area life cycle model, which describes the stages a tourist destination typically goes through as the number of visitors increases over time. The stages are exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation, and decline. As destinations progress through the life cycle, so too does the host community, going from euphoria about visitors to potential antagonism as saturation is approached if overtourism is not managed properly. The model aims to help destinations sustain tourism by understanding these phases and adapting products, markets and promotion accordingly.

In truth, there are a wealth of these literary tools in the English language. But, let's start out by exploring some of the most common figure of speech examples.
For example,
Synecdoche:
Synecdoche occurs when a part is represented by the whole or, conversely, the whole is represented by the part.
Examples include:
Wheels - a car
The police - one policeman
Plastic - credit cards
Figurative language is often associated with literature and with poetry in particular. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we use figures of speech every day in our own writing and conversations.
Figures of speech are also known as figures of rhetoric, figures of style, rhetorical figures, figurative language, and schemes.
A figure of speech is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it such as a metaphor, simile, or personification. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.
Through the use of figures of speech, the author makes significant the insignificant, makes seem less important the overemphasized, brings colour and light, insight, understanding and clarity.
Figures of speech allow us to assess, interpret and critically analyze not only the writer's attempt, but also his or her purpose.

Characters and conflict
The document discusses different types of characters and how they are developed in stories. It defines the protagonist as the main character, and antagonist as a character opposing the protagonist. It also notes that conflict can arise between characters, with nature, or internally, and that authors develop characters through their thoughts, actions, physical descriptions, and speech.
Audience Expectations
This document discusses different considerations for determining a news publication's target audience such as their expectations and needs. It suggests balancing what the audience wants with what they need to know. The document also notes that different platforms may be better suited for certain stories. Finally, it provides instructions for a focus group project involving interviews with students and faculty about their preferences and expectations for a high school newspaper and new website.
News Elements
The document discusses key elements that make a story considered "news" including proximity, timeliness, prominence, consequence, human interest, conflict, unusualness, and humor. It notes that students should be prepared to explain why each of these elements contributes to something being newsworthy.
1stamendment online
This document discusses two court cases involving students in Pennsylvania who were suspended for creating fake MySpace pages about their principals. The 3rd circuit court judges issued conflicting rulings on the same day about whether the schools had the right to discipline the students. It also discusses debates around student free speech rights online and changing privacy policies on Facebook.

Summary ks
This document does not contain any discernible text or information to summarize. It appears to be blank or contain only non-alphabetic characters that do not form words or sentences.
Questions
The student teacher poses thoughtful questions to her mentor teacher after observing his lessons. Though the questions catch him off guard at times, he sees them as opportunities to reflect more deeply on his teaching practices. In this instance, the student teacher asks why he chooses group work over individual assignments in a given lesson, prompting a rambling response from the mentor teacher. Rather than apologize, he views it as a chance to consider how different class dynamics and student abilities influence that decision. Their discussions help him continue learning and improving after many years of experience.
Lockeandhobbes
The document discusses Thomas Hobbes' social contract theory and the idea of a state of nature. According to Hobbes, in a state of nature before government where individuals only act in self-interest, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Hobbes argued this chaos could only be prevented by establishing a strong central authority, such as an absolute ruler, to enforce social order through the social contract as outlined in his work Leviathan. The document also mentions John Locke's view of humans as blank slates at birth who acquire knowledge through experiences.

Memphis Intro
The document summarizes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s involvement in the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike. It discusses how over 1,300 mostly black sanitation workers went on strike to protest poor wages and working conditions. Dr. King came to Memphis twice to lead marches and give speeches in support of the strike. The strike ended a week after Dr. King's assassination on April 4, 1968.
Allusion
The document discusses allusions and their use in writing. It defines allusion as a reference to a work of literature, art, or other cultural work that requires the reader to have background knowledge to understand. Allusions are commonly made to widely known works like the Bible or Shakespeare plays. The document explains that allusions give authority to writing and allow authors to link their work to other influential texts. It also provides an example of allusions used in Martin Luther King Jr.'s works and notes that not recognizing an allusion is okay in the modern day of internet resources.
Questions draft #2
1. A student teacher observes her mentor teacher and takes detailed notes in her journal about his teaching methods and how he answers students' questions.
2. The student teacher has found the perfect question to ask the mentor teacher about how he decides when to use group work versus individual assignments.
3. The mentor teacher struggles to give a concise answer to her question and rambles as he thinks out loud, but hopes he has provided some insight even if he confused her further and given her more to write about.
Questions D1
Ted Leach reflects on his experience mentoring a new teacher. He struggles at first to provide straightforward answers to her insightful questions about teaching methods. Over time, through their ongoing conversations, he comes to realize that being a good teacher is not about having all the answers, but rather asking the right questions. He hopes that by the end of her apprenticeship, she leaves with more questions than answers, as questioning is what will help her continue growing as a great teacher.
Intrototragedy 2008
The document discusses key aspects of Greek tragic theater including:
1) Tragedies told stories from Greek mythology and involved a central character suffering misfortune through their own actions or flaws.
2) Playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides wrote trilogies of plays including one satyr play to be performed at festivals in Athens and other cities.
3) Productions used a small number of professional actors and a chorus of 12-15 amateurs to perform the plays outdoors in theaters for religious and political purposes in the 5th century BCE.
Example Rm
The document provides instructions on how to properly use direct quotes in academic writing. It includes an example of quoting poetry from Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" and provides the formatting for integrating the quote into an analysis. The instructions also prompt the reader to choose a poem and write a short character analysis of the father figure, supporting it with at least one direct quote from the text using proper citation.
Example: Direct Quotes
The document provides instructions on how to properly format direct quotes and citations. It includes an example of a direct quote from Robert Frost's poem, with the quote indicated and a citation. The instructions also direct the reader to choose a poem and write a paragraph analyzing how the father is characterized, using examples and a direct quote with proper citation.
Using multiple examples in expository writing
The Japanese phrase "shikata ga nai", meaning "it cannot be helped", reflects how families in the internment camps coped with poor conditions. In Ender's Game, Ender struggles with his identity compared to his violent brother Peter, seen when he cries after beating a bully but continues to face reminders of Peter. This internal conflict isn't resolved until the novel's end. The document discusses using examples in expository writing and different types of examples like quick references, "magic three" examples, and detailed examples.
Example
Rhetorical modes are standard ways that writers develop their ideas through techniques like narration and description. Examples are used to support generalizations and should be relevant, specific, and provide enough detail and quantity to illustrate the main point. Writers should check that their examples are sufficiently detailed, numerous, and relevant when using examples to support a generalization.
Intro To Sf
This document provides an introduction to the genre of science fiction. It lists some classic works that are considered early examples of science fiction like Frankenstein. It distinguishes science fiction from fantasy by noting science fiction asks "what if" questions and speculates based on science or technology. Examples are given like Star Trek that feature scientific extrapolation. The document concludes by advising the reader to determine the setting and rules established in any science fiction text.
Summary Leads
The document provides guidance on writing summary leads, noting that they should contain the key details of who, what, when, where, and sometimes why in under 30 words using the most important information. It gives examples of summary leads that follow these characteristics for upcoming local and national events.
Law Basics
This document discusses key legal and ethical issues related to journalism and publishing student work, including censorship, libel laws, invasion of privacy, and copyright. It notes important Supreme Court cases that define students' free speech rights and limitations. The document cautions that just because something can legally be published does not mean it is ethical, and journalists must consider privacy, consent and protecting subjects from potential harm.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 4. Structure Parallel structures can be used with words, phrases, and clauses Words: Individual nouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions, etc. Phrases: Groups of words Clauses: Parts of sentences Parallel structures are usually used with a co- coordinating conjunction (F.A.N.B.O.Y.S)
- 5. Parallel Structure with Words Verbs Everyday Example: - Advertisements like “Live. Love. Buy Our Product.” Famous Example: “I came, I saw, I conquered” - Julius Caesar's single- sentence military report Nouns & Adjectives - Everyday Example: Too many to list Famous Noun List: “Lions and tigers and bears, O my!” - Dorothy in The Wizard of Ozs Famous Adjective List: “Mad, bad, and dangerous to know” - Lady Caroline Lamb on her ex-Boyfriend, the poet Lord Byron
- 6. Parallel Structures with Phrases and Clauses Any group of words (phrases) or parts of sentence (clauses) can be formed into parallel structures.
- 7. Simple Practice for Parallel Structure The easiest way to practice parallel structure is to - listen for parallel structures in the everyday speech of your friends, classmates, siblings, family members, grandparents, and parents use parallel structures in their everyday speech and write these sentences down (transcribe). - listen to advertising, pop music, movie and television dialogue, and politicians and write down how they use parallel structures - read often and underline parallel phrases that are interesting to you and that you want to use in your own writing. - write often and try to use parallel phrases for a variety of effects, Essential Questions: How do people I know use parallel structures? How do famous people use parallel structures?
