Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever been tempted to write out your thoughts, a story, or a business report in one sentence - one very l-o-n-g sentence - to either tease the boss, empty your brain, rid yourself of the jitters caused by writer's block, the way of the world, your family feud, or an upcoming interview, and forgetting to complete a sentence, just letting your pen or computer run on and on ('OMG,' yells Teacher, 'a run-on sentence!') and forget Teacher and that irritating voice of condemnation, and writing your story, report, or thoughts the way they run through your head, placing word after word on paper or computer screen as you begin to notice how your body is relaxing, your brain has been stimulated, and you are having F-U-N, realizing the writer's block has been broken up, the world is continuing on its merry/sad way without your help, your family is going to be your family all your life so get used to their weird ways, and that interview will be a challenge for you to shine and let your words and easy-going manner (brought about by producing a one-sentence piece of writing and knowing all is well and you feel good That's what this book is about, 77 stories written by 43 writers from around the world about all kinds of subjects, of varying lengths and writing styles.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lily, with her friends Megan and Harold, learned the frustration of being 'too young' to serve in the military and turned it into energy to scavenge the homefront for re-usable materials, put up with substitutes for sugar and meat, and practice songs that supported the troops. They knew what was going on because they listened to the radio, read newspapers, and went to movies that showed them what real war was like. And those memories lasted lifetimes.Children also bear the scars of war, more indelibly than grownups who are able to brush aside upheavals that occur to 'somebody' 'somewhere else' and not to them. World War II affected all of us in the United States, unlike most of the wars that followed. Now, in the 21st century, we barely notice who is fighting who. The children of Sherman Elementary School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, knew exactly what was going on around the world - because it affected them. Like children across the country, they took up battles they could fight and learned the frustrations and inanity of war. We kids collected paper metal, and rubber, got used to eating without real sugar, tropical fruit, and certain meats because their sources were in fighting zones or the food was required to feed 'our troops'. We made sure our parents followed safety guidelines (keeping night lights from shining out and maintaining emergency supplies of water in case of a bomb attack). And we talked about our brothers, fathers, and uncles who were fighting for us.War today is barely noticed unless a family member is involved. We listen to evening news with half an ear, reasoning that 'it doesn't affect me'. And Americans have not 'wanted' for any products since 1945.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Anarchist's Guide to Grammar: 'Banish the 'rules' of grammar in the U.S.!' is the revolution called for by author Val Dumond. 'Scary Of course, but drastic measures must be taken. Just look at the state of language today! The time is now! Stand up and reclaim it!''We've been taking U.S. language for granted,' claims this long-time writer. We make several assumptions: 1) that we have a language called 'Proper English'; 2) that a set of 'rules' lies in some mysterious place, written by some mysterious authority; 3) that one must follow those 'rules' to speak and write correctly. Not so! The time has arrived to banish what we call 'rules' and expose the assumptions.'Dumond asks: What would happen if we all spoke the language of our heritage We would quickly learn the sound of the Tower of Babel - since US-language has come about by combining languages from (at least) 150 countries around the world. As immigrants enter the country, they bring with them new ideas, cultures, foods, music, and language. As they become settled, they combine their culture with US-ers, thus enriching all of us in the United States, including our language.In an amusing Introduction, Val explains how we have assumed there exists an incontrovertible set of grammar 'rules' to be followed in order to speak proper, correct, good English. 'We're not in England anymore!' she points out. Oh yes, we started out with British 'rules', but as we declared our independence, language changed, and continues to change. Do you really understand ordinary British English Numerous pundits over time have drawn up what they consider the 'rules' of grammar and forced them on their students. Yet, when those students run up against someone who studied a different set of 'rules', confusion and doubt rear their heads. Must we in the U.S. speak 'proper English' or do we have a language all our own After clarifying the conundrum of US-language, Dumond offers guidelines to aid writers in determining what constitutes understandable language. Those guidelines don't depend on memorizing all the crazy names for the parts of language, but rather the guidelines focus on how those parts function. Nouns and pronouns become Things; adjectives and adverbs become Modifiers; punctuation becomes Rules of the Road - all presented in easily understood language, with examples to boot. Included in the guidelines are -ways to decide which nouns to capitalize -how to discern the difference between plural and possessive nouns-how pronouns perform -ways to vary word modifiers -how to add modifying phrases and clauses-use of the little words that serve as the glue to connect words into sentences -how to use the dots, dashes, and curly cues we call punctuation. But she doesn't stop there. Writers will especially enjoy the freedom offered to create new words and put together sentences and paragraphs. She offers suggestions to use numbers and inclusive language, as well as offering four ways to improve spelling. The solution to the confusion of US-language seems so simple. Look at the 'rules' that come close to your interpretation, then modify them to make them work for you. Set up Your Style Manual, rather than depend on style manuals put together according to some other group's interpretations. And she shows you how. All this is included in The Anarchist's Guide to Grammar: toss out the assumptions, clarify them, pick up some basic, helpful guidelines, and write with power and assurance. No longer will you need to ask, 'What are the rules for writing Proper English ' At last, you'll understand why there aren't any. At last you can write your own guidelines.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When was the last time you reviewed your beliefs about writing Took a look at the language 'rules' with all their exceptions Tried to discover your own writing style Probably never! We all sopped up grammar rules in school as if they were manna handed down from on high. And now, as grownups, you see more clearly that those were just 'ideas of rules' that you were made to learn, nothing cast in stone or made official.At last, comes an official guide to American-English - as unique as the country that uses it. No hard-and-fast rules to learn, since you are dealing with a language comprised of a variety of other languages. American-English is like no other for the simple reason it lacks a set of rules we can all agree on. So why try!What makes this book official is the use of guidelines - not rules - on which you the writer can learn your own options, make your own decisions, and choose the ones that best fit your style of writing. And that doesn't include the styles set by creators of corporate style manuals that reflect only how employees of that corporation are to write.American-English reviews the parts of speech by emphasizing the way those words function and how to choose words that readers will understand.You'll also review the strange curly cues, dots, and lines that form punctuation - to provide readers with the sound of your written voice. And finally, you'll find guidelines to put it all together, including help in learning ways to improve word usage, sentence structure, paragraph patterns, spelling, the use of numbers, and avoiding biased language (PC means 'polite and courteous' here). You'll find a succinct list of Grammar Glitches and a full index to guide your special-needs search.…
