8 GRADEMARK REPORT FINAL GRADE 62 / 100 GENERAL COMMENTS Mr. Cosby, Thank you for your submission. It does a good job of signaling your narrative, research question, and thesis. This is an improvement, overall, and I can tell that you worked on this paper. It doesn t, though, satisfy the assignment requirements, I m afraid. You must meet the page, proofreading (capitalization errors), and consistent in MLA formatting requirements. Also, there are sources on your works cited page that do NOT appear in your paper and vice versa. This is a major problem in MLA. Overall, despite the improved areas, you must be consistent overall. Demonstrate in your final project that you can be the scholar that I know you are. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns. PAGE 1 Topic needed. 1. The slant of your title does not require italics. Comma Splice <p>a comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined by a comma only. A comma is not a strong enough mark of punctuation for this purpose. Comma splices can be revised in several ways: the two sentences can be separated by a period; a comma and a coordinating conjunction can be used; a semicolon or, in some cases, a colon can separate them; or the sentence can be recast entirely. </p> <p>for more information on comma splices, <a page=432&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see chapter 32.</a></p> 2. Your introduction must relate to your slant. Fragment <p>a sentence fragment is only a piece of a sentence; it is not complete. A fragment may lack a subject, a verb, or both. Or it may have a subject and verb, but these appear in a subordinate clause that renders the clause dependent on another sentence for meaning. Eliminate a fragment by attaching it to a complete sentence or rewriting the fragment as a complete sentence. </p> <ul> <li>to understand incomplete and missing verbs, <a page=429&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 31a. </a></li> <li>to understand missing subjects, <a page=430&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 31b.</a> </li> <li>to identify subject-verb pairs that can't act as sentences, that is, dependent clauses, <a page=430&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 31c. </a></li> <li>some fragments are missing both subject and verb; these are phrase fragments; <a page=431&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 31d.</a> </li> <li>be aware that sentence fragments are occasionally used in both fiction and nonfiction writing, often as a technique to create emphasis through an abrupt change of rhythm; <a page=432&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 31e.</a></li> </ul> 3.

No period before a short direct quote. Fused Sentence Fused Sentence <p>a fused sentence occurs when two independent clauses run together without any punctuation separating them.

Where is this evident in Ball's narrative as well? Your paragraphs are underdeveloped. 11. Omit period before quoted material with citations. Connection to the thesis? 12. You cannot use a quote to begin a supporting paragarph. Remember, you must say something before using your source material as support.

MLA Documentation MLA Documentation <p>the Modern Language Association (MLA) provides a citation style used to cite sources in the fields of English, rhetoric and composition, foreign languages, and literature. Using the MLA style in your humanities paper allows your readers to easily identify the source of information or a quotation and find the relevant publication information. The MLA style includes two basic components: (1) citations of summaries, paraphrases, and quotations given inside parentheses in the body of the text, and (2) an alphabetically organized Works Cited page at the end of the text, which provides the author, title, and publication details for each source used. <a page=181&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see chapter 13.</a> If you need an example of how to cite a particular kind of source, such as a book or an article, <a

Transition <p>good writing should be coherent--that is, the ideas should progress logically and smoothly from one sentence to the next throughout the text.

MLA Documentation MLA Documentation <p>the Modern Language Association (MLA) provides a citation style used to cite sources in the fields of English, rhetoric and composition, foreign languages, and literature. Using the MLA style in your humanities paper allows your readers to easily identify the source of information or a quotation and find the relevant publication information. The MLA style includes two basic components: (1) citations of summaries, paraphrases, and quotations given inside parentheses in the body of the text, and (2) an alphabetically organized Works Cited page at the end of the text, which provides the author, title, and publication details for each source used. <a page=181&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see chapter 13.</a> If you need an example of how to cite a particular kind of source, such as a book or an article, <a page=181&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see the list of MLA indexes on page 181. </a> </p> <ul> <li>for instruction on and examples of MLA in-text citations,<a page=182&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;"> see 13a.</a> </li> <li>for Works Cited information, <a page=193&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 13b.</a> </li> <li>to learn how to format a paper in MLA style using Microsoft Word, <a page=224&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 13c. </a></li> <li>for a sample paper that uses MLA style, <a page=231&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 13d.</a></li>
