<span>Parris is a weak, paranoid and suspicious demagogue, Parris instigates the witchcraft panic when he finds his daughter and niece dancing in the woods with several other girls. Parris is continually beset with fears that others conspire against him. Parris knows the truth that Abigail is lying about the dancing and the witchcraft, but perpetuates the deception because it is in his own self interest. Parris fears any defense against the charges of witchcraft as an attack upon the court and a personal attack on him. As a pastor, his primary concern is personal aggrandizement - he strives for monetary compensation, including the deed to the preacher's house and expensive candlesticks.</span>

baherus [9]

Answer:

I took the dog for a long walk. - simple

The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day. - complex

He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit. - compound

Explanation:

<u>A simple sentence is constituted of a only one independent clause</u>.<u> It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. </u>That is what we have in "I took the dog for a long walk."

<u>A complex sentence is formed by joining two clauses, one independent and the other dependent/subordinate.</u> <u>The dependent clause needs the independent one to make sense, since it does not express a complete thought on its own.</u> That is what we have in "The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day." The subordinating conjunction "because" introduces the dependent clause.

<u>A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.</u> That is what happens in "He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit." In this case, the conjunction is "and".

Lunna [17]
<span>The dialogue in "Hills Like White Elephants" focuses on the possibility of an abortion.
A man is talking to his girlfriend about her having a surgery, and although it is never directly stated, it is implied the surgery is actually an abortion. He wants her to have it, and she doesn't, and they are having an argument without even listening to each other - it is futile given that she won't do it, and he wants her to.
