In her book, 'A good man is hard to find', Flannery  O'Connor works with different linguistic tools to give the story a sense of dark humor. One of these tools, being the use of irony.

The first appearance of this technique is at the beginning of the book, when O'Connor explains the reason behind her grandmother getting dressed for a car ride. "In case of an accident, anyone seeing the dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady."

The writer then keeps on building the story line around the judgment that the grandmother holds up to everyone she meets. After the car crash and the Misfit makes his appearance, O'Connor writes: ""Listen," the grandmother almost screamed, "I know you are a good man, you dont look a bit like you have common blood. I know you must come from nice people!.""

The irony in this is that the grandmother believes that she can properly asses people based on how they look or act, at first encounter, when in reality the Misfit is a sociopath that is measuring all of his actions to get what he desires.

Can someone please explain compound, simple, and run-on sentences in a lengthy paragraph if you can? If so, I thank you dearly f

A compound sentence is at least two independent clauses that have related ideas for ex. I like soccer, (1 clause) and he likes basketball. (2 clause)

A simple sentence is only one independent clause for ex. The report is complete. (1 clause)

A run on sentence is two or more clauses. The sentence is crowded no stopping periods just commas. For ex. The corporation is packed with goods and services, and the goods are produced daily, customers love our products, sales and profit rise- more competition.

1. Your correct it is a compound sentence because there is at least two independent clauses and most importantly the ideas are related. "Jan went on a quiz show, (1) won two hundred dollars, (2) and bought gifts for her family."

2. The museum was crowded, but our group was able to see everything.(1) after the comma you count each sentence to see how many clauses. After the comma in this sentence there is only one clause so the answer is simple sentence

3. My puppy is well-trained; he call sit and speak. Semicolons are only used to complete a sentence.
As a matter of fact, as long as the sentence has one clause then the sentence is automatically a simple sentence. Semicolons are used to complete a sentence so they don't produce another clause. That is a simple sentence.

As long as you count the sentence after the comma(s) you can determine if it is a compound sentence- all related information 1, 2 or even 3 clauses, a simple sentence only 1 clause- supporting punctuation (semicolons) doesn't affect the sentence, and run on sentence heavy info in just 1 sentence with many commas.

Hope this sheds some light :)

Write two sentences about events you remember from history. Include a compound object in each sentence. Identify the objects

The great Roman Empire was so powerful that it conquered a large part of Europe, as well as parts of Africa and Asia.
The Puritans had to face many obstacles and mischiefs on their way to the New World.
__________________________________________________
The compound objects are bold
If a direct object is the recipient of action of the verb (what the verb does to something/someone), a compound direct object is composed of two or more such recipients.
