Avoid burying a great thesis statement in the middle of a paragraph or late in the paper. Be as clear and as specific as possible; avoid vague words. Indicate the point of your paper but avoid sentence structures like, “The point of my paper is…”
1. complex sentence (dependent clause, independent clause)
2. complex sentence (dependent clause, independent clause)
3. compound sentence (two independent clauses)
4. compound sentence (two independent clauses)
5. complex sentence (dependent clause, independent clause)
Remember that compound sentences have 2 or more independent clauses (complete thoughts) while complex sentences have at least 1 indepedent clause and 1 dependent (incomplete thought)
Answer:
The following is a dialogue between a nurse and patient on the symptoms of dengue.
Explanation:
Patient: If you could please tell me, Nurse Holmes, more about dengue and how it is transmitted because there have been a few people in my neighborhood who have come down with it.
Nurse Holmes: Yes, dengue is a concern and for some patients it can become quite serious.
Patient: What are the symptoms of dengue?
Nurse Holmes: Well, the Center for Disease Control in the United States says that only 1 in 4 people who are infected with the dengue virus will get sick, and it is usually just a mild or moderate case that patients can take care of themselves with plenty of rest and fluids. The symptoms of mild or moderate dengue are aches and pains, especially eye pain, rash, plus nausea and vomiting in some cases.
Patient: I have heard some scary stories about cases of severe illness with dramatic symptoms.
Nurse Holmes: That is right. The CDC says that 1 in 20 dengue sufferers develop a serious illness with acute symptoms that can include internal bleeding. These symptoms are dangerous and require emergency medical attention.
Patient: How is it transmitted? Everyone always talks about having to control mosquitos.
Nurse Holmes: Yes, it seems the dengue virus is spread by the bite of a particular kind of mosquito called the Aedes species (Ae. egypti or Ae. albopictus). These species also spread other serious infections like the Zika and chikungunya viruses.
The speaker asks if there will be somewhere where rest can be found. The answerer replies that there is plenty of room for all who have successfully made the journey "uphill." The poem speaks to the fact that life is a constant struggle and challenge. Those who are able to succeed at passing the uphill journey will be rewarded by having a place where they will be able to rest. For some, this inn represents Heaven (where the angels will welcome the newly dead in). Others may attribute the inn to metaphorically represent the ground which opens to accept dead bodies. Essentially, the poem speaks to the questions one has regarding life and the unknown. The answerer of the questions eases the speaker's mind--saying all will be well after the journey has been completed. I doubt I can help you with the second part of your task.
