38. Your Turn to Brag (10H):
The brag is a form of exaggerated boasting, reaching back to the Anglo-Saxon epic
Beowulf
and flourishing in pioneer days. Read the following brag from a legendary riverboat pilot:
“I’m half wild horse and half alligator and the rest of me is crooked snags and red-hot
snappin
’ turtle. I can hit like lightning and whip my weight in wildcats. I can outrun,
outjump
, outshoot,
outbrag
,
outdrink
, and outfight, rough-and-tumble, no holds barred, any man on both sides of the river from Pittsburgh to New Orleans and back again. Come on, and see how tough I am!” -- Mike Fink

The Appositive
An appositive is a
noun
or
noun phrase
that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words. Look at these examples:
The insect, a cockroach, is crawling across the kitchen table.
The insect, a large cockroach, is crawling across the kitchen table.
The insect, a large cockroach with hairy legs, is crawling across the kitchen table.
The insect, a large, hairy-legged cockroach that has spied my bowl of oatmeal, is crawling across the kitchen table.
Here are more examples:
During the dinner conversation, Clifford, the messiest eater at the table, spewed mashed potatoes like an erupting volcano.
Genette's
bedroom desk, the biggest disaster area in the house, is a collection of overdue library books, dirty plates, computer components, old mail, cat hair, and empty potato chip bags.
Reliable, Diane's eleven-year-old beagle, chews holes in the living room carpeting as if he were still a puppy.Slide68
Punctuate the appositive correctly.
The important point to remember is that a
nonessential appositive
is
always
separated from the rest of the sentence with comma(s).
When the appositive
begins
the sentence, it looks like this:
A hot-tempered tennis player
, Robbie charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man's skull with a racket.
When the appositive
interrupts
the sentence, it looks like this:
Robbie
, a hot-tempered tennis player,
charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man's skull with a racket.
And when the appositive
ends
the sentence
, it looks like this:
Upset by the bad call, the crowd cheered Robbie
, a hot-tempered tennis player who charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man's skull with a racket.Slide69
Got the blues?

Who or Whom?
Whoever? Whomever?
One trick:
[
Isolate the phrase that includes the who/whom]
Ask yourself if
the phrase (JUST the phrase)
would sound better with the
subject
ive form (
he, she, we, they, I
) or the
object
ive case (
him, her, us, them, me
)?
We will be kind to
[_
whoever
____ knocks on our door.]
she
knocks
; he
knocks
; we
knock
Another:
If the sentence itself sounds good without any pronoun, it is generally WHOM
Tom is the student
(
whom
)
the teachers picked as outstanding.Slide73
Test Yourself. Who or whom? Whomever? Whoever?
A prank was pulled on a student {____ I know quite well}.
When the going gets tough,{ _______

To _______ am I speaking? (switch to sent)
{________ we elect for president} will be in office for the next four years.

Misplaced (or dangling) Modifiers
A.K.A. Dangling/misplaced
participial
phrases
-
ing
After following the vision program for two weeks, my doctor told me that my eyesight had improved.
THINK: Who’s following the vision program?
Are
you
or is the
Doc
?
Make sure your modifier is close to its antecedentSlide84
Participle (the –
ing
word modifying the noun---acts as a modifier---thus, D.M.
Building blocks:
A participle is an '-
ing
' word that modifies a noun. Very often, words that end in '-
ing
' are the present participles of verbs, such as
swimming, talking, laughing
, and so on.
A participle can be part of a larger phrase, called a participial phrase, that modifies a noun.
Quick rules:
The participial phrase should be followed by a comma and then the noun that's being modified.
That noun must be the subject of the main clause. When the participial phrase does not modify the subject, we say that it is dangling.
Let's break down Ted's sentence.
After getting kicked off the basketball team, the mall became Jake's new favorite
hangout.
'After
getting
kicked off the basketball team' is the participial phrase that modifies the subject, Jake. As the sentence is written now, however, the subject of the main clause seems to be 'the mall.' Ted's teacher asked if malls could dribble and shoot (
heh
heh
) because this sentence implies that the mall got kicked off the basketball team.
Correction:
Sentences with dangling participles usually require some reworking. Here are two alternatives:
After getting kicked off the basketball team, Jake started hanging out at the mall.
The mall became Jake's new favorite hangout after he got kicked off the basketball team. Slide85
