I was born with seventeen fingers and two toes. Doctors decided to use some of my extra fingers to replace the missing toes. Sin

ce the joints were similar and some of the extras were about toe length. To create a realistic big toe, surgeons used my third thumb. Sewing it skillfully with a tiny needle intended for use in making doll clothes. My surgeon chose the needle because he wanted to attempt a reconstruction of my nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. What good is a toe if it can’t function? I had always dreamed of being able to grip when I walked. To feel the sand between my toes. In fact, walking itself was always a challenge. From the age of eleven months, I wore prosthetics. The most uncomfortable fake toes you can imagine. Without them, I could not balance. With them, I was mobile and independent. They were designed to fit my foot and strap onto my ankle so that they wouldn’t slip off. Once I practiced walking with them, no one knew about my strange feet. My hands, however, were another matter. Seventeen fingers were hard to hide! Kids used to pick on me constantly. That all changed one day when they realized how well I could grip a ball. Catching a football was easy. Gripping a basketball. I didn’t even need a glove when I played baseball. Nothing could stop me! Except those feet. I could grip and catch all day, but I had to get down the field and court to do so. I knew that I had to fix the foot problem in order to be an elite athlete, so I had the surgery. I thinking that I would have no more problems, but the procedure just created a different one: I could run better, but I had seven fewer fingers for catching.

Did I use this semi-colon correctly? If not what is a good alternative since its already a fairly wordy sentence? Only real answ
Helen [10]

Answer:

Hey I get why ya doubted yourself but the semi colon works.

Explanation:

Let me explain:

So with the two sentences you have if you had used a period the sentences wouldn't have connected as well. And since the first sentence connects to the second by trying to explain how the literature has changed perspective for society it just flows better.

I mean in my opinion the semi colon just works better than a period or comma. It allows a breath to read the second sentence but indicates that the second sentence is what makes the first sentence work.

After Juliet's body is found, Lord Capulet says these lines from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: CAPULET: Death is my
irinina [24]

Answer: Capulet does not know that Juliet is actually alive.

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters of a narrative are unaware of. In this case, the lines are an example of dramatic irony because Capulet believes Juliet to be dead. However, the audience knows that Juliet has taken a potion that makes her appear dead, but that, in fact, she is alive and plans to escape with Romeo.
