Let's try this again, now that the discussion board is working.
1. Alone, without talking, read through sentences 1 - 5 below. Determine if the sentences are loose or periodic, and use references to phrases, clauses, and how the phrases and clauses in each sentence work in conjunction with one another to explain your answer.
2. Post your explanation as a reply to the 5 threads I have created on this sub-board. The five explanations will be half of your total replies for this activity.
3. After you have posted your individual findings under each of the threads (one for each sentence), you are to post at least one substantive reply to a classmate's findings on each of the 5 threads. A substantive reply is not "I think you are right" or "good job!" or anything of that ilk. This will give you a total of at least 10 replies: 5 initial explanations, and 5 substantive replies to classmates.
Remember that this is a class grade. However, you are to work together and fulfill the posting requirements in order to receive credit, a maximum of 50 points if all sentences are correctly identified.
1. The minister, on the other hand, had never gone through an experience calculated to lead him beyond the scope of generally received laws; although, in a single instance, he had so fearfully transgressed one of the most sacred of them.
2. Thus we seem to see that, as regarded Hester Prynne, the whole seven years of outlaw and ignominy had been little other than a preparation for this very hour.
3. None; unless it avail him somewhat that he was broker, down by long and exquisite suffering; that his mind was darkened and confused by the very remorse which harrowed it; that, between fleeing as an avowed criminal, and remaining as a hypocrite, conscience might find it hard to strike the balance; that it was human to avoid the peril of death and infamy, and the inscrutable machinations of an enemy; that, finally, to this poor pilgrim, on his dreary and desert path, faint, sick, miserable, there appeared a glimpse of human affection and sympathy, a new life, and a true one, in exchange for the heavy doom which he was now expiating. (It would be helpful to look at the sentence which precedes this, on page 209 of the purple book or page 155 of the red book)
4. The stigma gone, Hester heaved a long, deep sigh, in which the burden of shame and anguish departed from her spirit.
5. Such was the sympathy of Nature--that wild, heathen Nature of the forest, never subjugated by human law, nor illumined by higher truth--with the bliss of these two spirits!
