Download or read book Reading Like a Writer written by Francine Prose and published by Union Books. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her entertaining and edifying New York Times bestseller, acclaimed author Francine Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and tricks of the masters to discover why their work has endured. Written with passion, humour and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart – to take pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; to look to John le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue and to Flannery O’ Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail; to be inspired by Emily Brontë ’ s structural nuance and Charles Dickens’ s deceptively simple narrative techniques. Most importantly, Prose cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which all literature is crafted, and reminds us that good writing comes out of good reading.

Download or read book Sentence Comprehension written by David J. Townsend and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using sentence comprehension as a case study for all of cognitive science, David Townsend and Thomas Bever offer an integration of two major approaches, the symbolic-computational and the associative-connectionist. The symbolic-computational approach emphasizes the formal manipulation of symbols that underlies creative aspects of language behavior. The associative-connectionist approach captures the intuition that most behaviors consist of accumulated habits. The authors argue that the sentence is the natural level at which associative and symbolic information merge during comprehension. The authors develop and support an analysis-by-synthesis model that integrates associative and symbolic information in sentence comprehension. This integration resolves problems each approach faces when considered independently. The authors review classic and contemporary symbolic and associative theories of sentence comprehension, and show how recent developments in syntactic theory fit well with the integrated analysis-by-synthesis model. They offer analytic, experimental, and neurological evidence for their model and discuss its implications for broader issues in cognitive science, including the logical necessity of an integration of symbolic and connectionist approaches in the field.

Each Book focuses on different dimensions but most of stepwise Standard Visual Pattern English Course is consist of seven steps, and take the following steps. Step 1 You can read the text within paragraph as in the standard book. In order to get used to the sentence, Read Aloud three times, or read along three times. If you do not understand your own language, Please consult with teacher. In Step 2, you can read text in each sentence. It seems to look simpler and easier. Be careful “Verb’, which is the balancer of the Sentence. There are only two kinds of Verbs, one is action verb, the other is linking verb. Intransitive Verb is belongs to ‘Action Verb’ that does not the target of the Verb. Step 2 You can read the text within ‘Highlighted Verb’ sentence. As soon as you read the sentence you can much more easily what the writer expect the reader to do. Furthermore, you can catch the verb has target or complements. In this step you can understand 90 % of book contents if you keep up with verbs. Try to understand the sentence by focusing on Verb, not to memorize from the beginning. But please rule 3(3 times read aloud, read along) in each step or Drill. Step 3 In this section you can read with BSD Signal, whether it is blocked or not. If any verb have not target, it should be either liking verb or action verb without target, and called as ‘Intransitive Verb.’ We have read Step 2 and known one of two kinds of verb. Then you can brief understand Block Sentence Diagram patters. Target of the verb, and compliment of the verb can place on the same level of Subject and Verb. All other functions should be placed under the horizontal line of Block Sentence Diagram. Step 4 In this section, we are arrange block sentence building by using brick words(noun, verb, adjective, adverb) and mortar words( conjunction, preposition). In BSD Diagram only brick words can stand on horizontal line in line with Verb.(Unlike Sentence Diagramming Method) With some practice, you can automatically improve your grammar level. BSD signal is option, for beginner it is easy to understand. Step 5 This is the most important backbone of English Memory Program, up until now you have learned and practiced mainly reading and speaking practice. We call this type of learning is “Exercise or Walking English”, which means more practice get better output even though you do not understand completely. If you are trying to do Block Diagramming, you need “Thinking process”, with some grammar knowledge, you can diagram a logical, grammatical Diagram. Do not try to jump to memorize sentence without being familiar with sentence backbone, sentence structure diagram. Verb is the most common and changes forms to give the facts or opinions. And its changing form can play all round player in sentences, functioning noun, adjective, adverb, and conjunction. Position of Verb plays important tones of language. The Verb always is located in the middle of sentences and plays balancer of sentence, if the positions of Verb change, that means the tone of languages also changed. Step 6 Before you listen the audio, please try to put your words in the BSD. Do not worry about mistake !! If you know the story, my recollecting ‘Verbs’, you can easily match Subject of the Verb, and targets or additional parts. Any types of modifier under the Base Line are not key factor in the sentence. However, many writers put the prepositional noun modifiers below the Base Line, in order to give some more information or stress. We are building Block Sentence Diagram Building to memorize. Step 7 In these Diagrams, Verb, conjunction, and prepositional modifier hints have been diagrammed. Diagram Level belongs to Upper Intermediate Level or Lower Advance Level, SSEMP BSD focus on memory, therefore, some loose diagramming compared to conventional Sentence Diagram. Block Sentence Diagram can apply many design factors to make it look beautiful, too. Sometimes perfect noun plays Adverb, even though it belongs to key words. Most of nouns which are not in right position (Noun subject, target, compliment) role as Adverb.

Louise Erdrich's latest novel, The Sentence, asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the book. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading "with murderous attention," must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning. The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional, and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written.
