...Welcome to WritePoint, the automated review system that recognizes errors most commonly made by university students in academic essays. The system embeds comments into your paper and suggests possible changes in grammar and style. Please evaluate each comment carefully to ensure that the suggested change is appropriate for your paper, but remember that your instructor's preferences for style and format prevail. You will also need to review your own citations and references since WritePoint capability in this area is limited. NOTE: WritePoint comments are computer-generated writing and grammar suggestions inviting the consideration and analysis of the writer; they are not infallible statements of right/wrong, and they should not be used as grading elements. Also, at present, WritePoint cannot detect quotations or block-quotes, so comments in those areas should be ignored. Please see the other helpful writing resources in the Tutorials and Guides section of the Center for Writing Excellence. Thank you for using WritePoint.

...Overview: Commas The comma is the most frequently used punctuation mark, but it is also the most often misused. Commas make reading sentences easier because they separate the parts of sentences. Commas with Independent Clauses Use a comma before the coordinating conjunctions and, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet when they join two independent clauses. (Remember that an independent clause must have both a subject and a verb.) Independent clauses: The instructor put us in small groups, and she gave us a new assignment. Independent clauses: The essay was difficult to read, but I learned some new vocabulary words. Hint: Do not use a comma when a single subject has two verbs. Single subject: The instructor put us in small groups and gave us a new assignment. The coordinating conjunction (and) joins two verbs, but not two independent clauses. Only if the second verb has its own subject should you add a comma. Independent clauses: The instructor put us in small groups, and she gave us a new assignment. Each verb has its own subject, so and joins two independent clauses. Notice the comma. Commas with Items in a Series Use commas to separate items in a series of items joined by a coordinating conjunction. This means that you should put a comma between all items in a series. Series of nouns: The class required that we read two novels, twenty short stories, and twelve poems. Series of verbs: The students exchanged their essays, read them, and gave each other suggestions...

Steps to follow in writing a play analysis: CONTEXT: Consider the period setting of the play, and then research the events of the world during that time period. For example, if you are analyzing a play that takes place during the great depression, you will need to research and understand the current events and everyday human concerns of that period in order to write a dramaturgical analysis. The time setting is the most important part of dissecting the inner workings of a play. Characters are defined by their environments, just as we human beings are.

...Exercise 31.6 1. Simple 2. Simple 3. Compound 4. Complex 5. Compound Exercise 31.7 Circle the simple subjects and verbs in the following passages. Place one line under each independent and two lines under each dependent clause. Many argue that the blues and jazz are the first truly American musical forms. With its origins in slave narratives, the blues took root during the 1920s and 1930s as African-American composers, musicians, and singers performed in the cabarets and clubs of Harlem. Jazz, however, has its origins in New Orleans. Today, we can still appreciate the music of Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, and B. B. King. Rock and roll is also a distinctively American form of music. Our country’s first “rock star” was without a doubt Elvis Presley, who emerged on the nation’s airwaves in the mid-1950s with such hits as Heartbreak Hotel, Don’t Be Cruel, and All Shook Up. A decade later, Americans were expressing themselves musically through rhythm and blues pop, folk rock, and protest music. Today, thanks to recording technology, we have easy access to our country’s rich musical history. Exercise 32.1 & 32.4 Underline the fragments in the following passage, and identify each as either a phrase (without a subject or verb) or a dependent clause.
