Abe
read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock."
the yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
the yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
and seeing that it was a soft october night,
curled once about the house, and fell asleep.
based on the excerpt, how does the narrator feel about the evening fog?

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

direct object would be the answer

what kind of verbs are used in this paragraph? amanda,

i just want to let you know that my children are just amazing. i am just so proud of them and for how far they have come. they are the best thing that i have ever done in my life. they are successful and have accomplished a lot in their lives. i know for sure that they are my greatest success in my life.

sincerely yours,

michelle
