Using Formal and Informal Language
Margarita [4]

Formal and informal writing.

Formal writing is a type of writing which is mostly used in professional or other academic writings. Informal writing on the other hand is a type of writing which is mostly used while having a casual conversation.

The sentence ‘Carnivorous plants use an unorthodox method of obtaining nutrients’ is a formal sentence. If we have to rewrite it as informal one, it would be something like this ‘Carnivorous plants are insectivorous plants and they prefer unorthodox method to obtain nutrients.’

The sentence ‘They trap insects specially constructed plant structures, which then secrete digestive juices’ is an informal one. To make it as a formal sentence, we have to avoid using pronoun. So it would be, ‘Carnivorous plants trap insects by constructing plant structures, followed by secreting digestive juices.’

Which theme is evident in this excerpt from Anne Sexton's poem "Her Kind"?
Olin [163]

It’s either identity or sadness bc “a women like that is misunderstood” meaning she is probably been rumored about or been judged a lot. “I have been her kind” that’s pretty much the author sharing her pain and it obviously sounds pretty depressing.
