Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, an

d answer the question that follows: Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form. The author writes that he "wrote a complete biography—of a tree." What message is implied about the tree with this statement? The author couldn't think of any other subject for a biography. The author didn't think a partial biography was enough. The author didn't want to speak for the tree. The author believed the tree had a life story, like a person.

D: <span>The author believed the tree had a life story, like a person.


The author spends the first bit of the paragraph discussing how important "place" or, setting, is to make a story enjoyable. Then he describes his biography of the tree. It is clear that he considers the tree to have a character and story of its own when he says "</span><span>It is, in truth, another form of character".</span>

Paul [167]

The following sentence is punctuated properly: "I need to know whether you are able to perform the following functions of the job: revising existing marketing materials, promoting the company at trade shows, and reaching potential customers through direct mail campaigns." (3).

There should be a colon after the first clause because the second part of the sentence is a list of items (in this case, a list of the "functions of the job").

A comma would be too weak in this case because it would fail to express this idea of a list of specific examples completing the independent clause.

A semicolon would be inaccurate because they are usually used between two independent clauses when you don't want to link them with a conjunction (like <em>and</em>). They are stronger than a comma and weaker than a period. In this sentence however, the second part is not an independent clause but a list without a verb.

What do you think is the significance of the title “Catch the Moon"?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The purpose of the title “Catch the Moon” alludes to the hubcap that Luis gives Naomi. Despite there being many wheel covers at his fathers' junkyard, Luis wanted to find the perfect match for Naomi's illustration. Also, "to try to catch the moon" is "to reach for an impossible goal" if that helps. :)
