Consider this passage from Brian’s Hunt:
They had planes and guns and radios and GPS but in some ways they had no knowledge because they had all the gadgets; they missed the small things because they saw too big.
What is the situation here? What does the author mean when he writes “they saw too big”? Who is he talking about?
Original:
This situation happens when Brian think back to all the modern technology when people went hunting. He said it because they dependent on technologies so much that they forget the skill of hunting. This passage, he was talk to the people that are hunting.

Assignment 10A
Consider this passage from Brian’s Hunt:
A coyote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north, or maybe a timber wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other.
What is the sentence type here, and why?
Original:
This is a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses and it connected with a coordinator “or”. The first independent clause is “A coyote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north,” and the second independent clause is “maybe a timber wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other.”
Revision:
This is a complex sentence because it has one independent clause and one dependent clause. The independent clause is “as they called them up north,” and the dependent clause is “one begging from the other.”

Assignment 9B
Dr. Maxhii said, "It was have been a Molotoffano banakago"-a Molotov flower basket, the delicate Japanese name the "bread basket," or self-scattering clusters of bomb.
I think that this passage confused me because it first talk about the flower basket then into a bread basket and it is also mean a self-scattering clusters of bomb. What does Dr. Maxhii mean in the passage that hard to understand.

Assignment 9A
After the overturn, Dr. Fuji was so stupefied and so tightly squeezed by the beams gripping his chest that he was unable to move at first, and he hung there about twenty minutes in the darkened morning. Then a thought which came to him_that soon the tide would be running in through the estuaries and his head would be submerged_inspired him to fearful activity; he wriggled and turned and exerted what strength he could (though his left arm, because of the pain in his shoulder, was useless), and before long he had freed himself from the vise. (p22-23)
I think that this passage doesn't tell me much about Dr.Fuji freed himself. I understand that he get caught in something and he tried to let himself freed. I want to know what happen in this passage and how did Dr.Fuji freed himself.

Assignment 8A
"And now here he lay, awake, knowing only that a strange noise had cut him out of sleep but not what sound or where it had come from and he opened his mouth to clear his ears and held his breath and waited, listening." (p.27)

4 sources of sentence
Simple:
1. " I was seven years old on a troopship heading to the Philippine Islands. "(pg.1) (http://minh-khieu.blogspot.com/)
I think that this sentence structure is a good example of a simple because in the user explanation stated that this sentence has a subject and a verb. Also, this sentence has a complete independent clause but no dependent clause.
Compound Sentence:
"I had just sat up and it drove me back down." (Pg. 55) (http://don4tell4.blogspot.com/)
I think that in this sentence it has two independent clauses that are joined with a coordinating conjunction of "and".
Complex:
“The Sea was there, deep cobalt, immense, rising like a great saucer to the blue horizon, where it was impossible to see a defining line between water and sky.”(p.1) (http://alexjudeng.blogspot.com/)
I think that this sentence has a complete independent clause with a join of a dependent clause. The dependent clause starts with a "where" and ended as "sky". This dependent clause is an adjective clause which is described the noun "horizon".
Compound complex:
Then I began to read about the sea and found that the Pacific Ocean was so enormous it dominated the entire planet; all the land mass in the world could fit inside the Pacific and there would still be sea around it. P. 10 (http://englishwitheuphrasie.blogspot.com/)
I think that this sentence has two independent clause that joined with a coodinator of "and"; it has a dependent clause that started with "then" and ended with "planet".
