  2. Happy day • The impact of poetry is so hard and direct that for the moment there is no other sensation except that of the poem itself. What profound depths we visit then--how sudden and complete is our immersion! There is nothing here to catch hold of; nothing to stay us in our flight....The poet is always our contemporary. Our being for the moment is centered and constricted, as in any violent shock of personal emotion. • Virginia Woolf • Woolf uses a variety of sentence types in this selection. Among them is the exclamatory sentence. Identify the exclamatory sentence and explain its effect. • Classify each sentence as to length: short, medium, or long. How is the meaning of the passage reinforced and clarified by sentence length? • Write a declarative sentence about college entrance examinations. Then write an exclamatory sentence which amplifies or clarifies the declarative sentence.

  3. Tuesday, October 20th • Opener • Finish “An Inconvenient Truth” • Homework: Read “In Wildness is the Preservation of the World” on page 432 and “Values Beyond Price” on page 443

  4. Bon jour • No sooner had the reverberation of my blows sunk into silence, then I was answered by a voice from within the tomb!--by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman--a howl!--a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the damned in their agony and of the demons that exult in damnation. • Edgar Allen Poe • The dashes in this long sentence set off a series of appositives. What noun phrase is explained by the appositives? • This sentence makes syntactic and semantic sense if it ends with the first exclamation point. What do the appositives add to the meaning and effectiveness of the sentence? • Rewrite Poe’s sentence, changing it into a series of short sentences. Consider how the use of short sentences changes the overall meaning of the original sentence.
