A sentence fragment is a group of words that resembles a sentence. It will start with a capital letter and have ending punctuation

/in /by

A sentence fragment is a group of words that resembles a sentence. It will start with a capital letter and have ending punctuation; however, it is neither an independent clause nor a complete idea.

A sentence fragment can be very confusing for the reader, so usually, the best thing to do is to fix it by adding what is missing from the sentence or joining it to another sentence. Below see some sentence fragment examples and possible corrections, plus examples of how powerful an intentional use of fragments can be.

Sentence Fragments Without a Subject

Some sentence fragments lack a subject.

Here are 5 examples of sentence fragments along with a possible revision that includes a subject:

• Running down the lane and into the forest.

Revision: The moose was running down the lane and into the forest.

• Discovered the cure for the disease.

Revision: The researcher discovered the cure for the disease.

• Gave many reasons but no logical ones.

Revision: Our boss gave many reasons but no logical ones.

Sentence Fragments Without a Verb

Some sentence fragments have a subject but no verb.

Here are fragment examples along with a possible revision including the verb:

• A time of wonder and amazement.

Revision: That was a time of wonder and amazement.

• Clothes and shoes scattered around the room.

Revision: Clothes and shoes were scattered around the room.

• The elected official for our district.

Revision: The elected official for our district was unpopular.

• The answer to our prayers.

Revision: This inheritance is the answer to our prayers.

• Showing her award and gloating.

Revision: Terri was showing her award and gloating.

Sentence Fragments that Are Dependent Clauses

Some sentence fragments are dependent clauses that cannot stand alone.

• Because it was raining.

Revision: We canceled the picnic because it was raining.

• After I finish the project.

Revision: I will get a bonus after I finish the project.

• Since she never saw that movie.

Revision: We should invite her since she never saw that movie.

• Such as drama, music, and dance.

 Shahnameh tells about a series of epic heroes in Persian culture.

/in /by

Shahnameh tells about a series of epic heroes in Persian culture.  We are focusing on one of the greatest, Rustem.  How does the fact that his father and grandfather are also great warriors and heroes in their own right influence your opinion of Rustem and his adventures?  How does the participation or non-participation of his father and grandfather in his early adventures affect your perspective of Rustem?

Edgar Allan Poe developed a theory of the construction of a tale. He wrote:

/in /by

Edgar Allan Poe developed a theory of the construction of a tale. He wrote:

A skillful literary artist has constructed a tale. If wise, he has not fashioned his thoughts to accommodate his incidents; but having conceived, with deliberate care, a certain unique or single effect to be wrought out, he then invents such incidents – he then combines such events as may best aid him in establishing this preconceived effect. If his very initial sentence tend not to the out bringing of this effect, then he has failed in his first step. In the whole composition there should be no word written, of which the tendency, direct or indirect, is not to the one preestablished design.

Analyze Poe’s careful crafting of the works we studied. Keep his theory of the short story in mind – the idea that a story must have a “singular effect.” He carries this philosophy over to his poetry as well. In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” what is the singular effect of this story? How do the setting, characters, and plot all work together to carry this effect to the end? Be sure to also include the purpose of the literature within the story (“The Haunted Palace” and the Ethelred story).

How does he craft “Annabel Lee” and “The Raven”? How do the elements of each poem work together to carry a “singular effect” to the end?

Note:  The Poe poems comprise ten points of this question.  I provided extensive notes on the poems, and I want to see if you can relate Poe’s theory to the poems.  Do not overlook this aspect of the question.
