Identify each of the underlined phrases as restrictive or nonrestrictive. Her porcelain doll, a rare collector's item, was sold
Semenov [28]

Although there are no underlined phrases, from the definition of a phrase, we are able to know which are the phrases we need to work with.

A phrase is a group of words that stand together as a single unit, that does not contain either a subject or a verb, and therefore, it has to be part of a sentence so that it could make sense. Phrases always provide further information about something whether a noun, an adverb, a verb or an adjective.

A nonrestrictive phrase is a phrase that contains information that is not essential to the sentence, that is to say, without it, the sentence would still make complete sense, and they are usually framed by commas when placed in the middle of a sentence, or followed by an only comma when they are the last part of the sentence.

As a restrictive phrase, on the other hand, is one that is essential to the meaning of the sentence, without it, the sentence would seem incomplete, unspecific, vague. Therefore restrictive phrases can not be taken out of sentence, and it never has commas.

From this explanation, we can easily identify which one is restrictive or nonrestrictive in the following sentences (the phrases are underlined):

Her porcelain doll, <u>a rare collector's item</u>, was sold at auction = a restrictive phrase.

Chris went to Seattle to visit his aunt,<u> a professional chef</u> = a restrictive phrase.

The boy <u>with the baseball cap</u> would like to have a turn = a restrictive phrase (without this phrase we would not be able to know which boy would like to have a turn, therefore the sentence would be missing essential information)

Write an essay that analyzes a theme in The Call of the Wild.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

this is what I have so far...

Explanation:

The Call of the Wild "is the tale of the transformation of Buck, an intelligent, people-friendly dog, who got used being in town and campfires then into a forest resident named by his wild instincts." With a change in lifestyle, the first changes in Buck's character began. The dog, who was a member of a rich family and had everything in the life of his dog, became the dog used in the snowy deserts of Alaska for sled transport. Desire for superiority is the defined theme for buck in this story.

Buck's desire for superiority has a large impact on the story. Without having this trait, Spitz would still be alive and Buck would not be the leader he is right now. The German philosopher Fried rich Nietzsche and his philosophy of "will to power" influenced the subject of leadership in this work by Jack London. This theory says that there are people who want to conquer and "slaves" who do not have this will. The concept of death in the battle to be prime is also in the list of themes that the author wanted to highlight in "The Call of the Wild."

This was a very good story that had many very good themes. In my opinion desire for superiority is the theme for this story, it correlates with a lot of the characters in the story including Buck and Spitz.  

I hope this helps!!
