Read the paragraph from "Sixteen" and answer the question. And that was last Thursday. Tonight is Tuesday. Tonight is Tuesday and my homework is done
and I darned some stocking that really didn't need it, and I worked a cross-word puzzle and I
listened to the radio and now I'm just sitting. I'm just sitting because I can't think of anything
else to do. I can't think of anything. anything but snowflakes and ice skates and a yellow moon
and Thursday night. The telephone is sitting on the corner table with its old black face turned to
the wall. I don't even jump when it rings any more. My heart still prays but my mind just laughs.
Outside the night is still-so still I think I'll go crazy. And so I'm sitting here and I'm not feeling
anything. I'm not even sad because all of a sudden I know. I can sit here now and forever and
laugh and laugh while the tears run salty in the corners of my mouth. For all of a sudden, I
know, I know what the stars knew all the time-he will never , never call-never.
Discuss the author's use of phrases and clauses. Begin by identifying the prepositional phrases and any
noun, adjective, and adverbial clauses. How do these phrases and clauses add to or detract from the
story being told? Then write at least one sentence evaluating how well the author has varied the
sentence structure in the paragraph and the structure's impact on the reader. Your answer should be at
least 100 words.

Announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the government meteorological bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet mars. due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we have arranged an interview with noted astronomer professor pierson, who will give us his views on the event. in a few moments we will take you to the princeton observatory at princeton, new jersey. we return you until then to the music of ramón raquello and his orchestra. the passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of the war of the worlds by h. g. wells. instead of including expert interviews, h. g. wells uses a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. by including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story most effectively? o.a. it puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone. o o b. it makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story. o o c. it makes the broadcast sound like a news report. o d. it makes the story sound less believable by changing who presents the story's details.
