<em>We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.</em>
The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.
- A <u>misplaced modifier</u> is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical:<em> I found the </em><u><em>stained</em></u><em> man's hankerchief</em>.
- A <u>squinting modifier</u> creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): <em>Combing your hair </em><u><em>softly</em></u><em> detangles it</em>.
- A <u>dangling modifier</u> gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "<em>having</em> + past participle" or "<em>being</em> + past participle" constructions, like: <u><em>Being tired after the show</em></u><em>, going straight home was the best plan</em>.
My reaction to this quote is that Abraham Lincoln is referring to the ideal that once people have power they tend to abuse it for their advantage, and personal gain. For Example, gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the county sizing and grouping in states by the Legislative branch to guarantee their reelection into federal or state offices. A typically Democratic city perhaps may be grouped or redrawn to conjoin with a vastly Republican populated area, creating a larger group of supporters of one party, and a polarized county.
The first paragraph
Caesar was beloved by many after the war he was looked upon as a god by his supports and soon decided to do things his own way and well Brutus wanted to be in charge because he is jealous of Caesar. So Brutus convinced the council that Caesar will betray Athens or wherever he lives and bring it to the ground and he’ll run off with the money so the council and Brutus came up with a plan to kill Caesar. Caesars supports loved him and think of him as a god and causes the conspirators to come up with the plane and get rid of him for good.
Second paragraph
The conflict was later resolved by all of the council coming together and murder Caesar at the council, each member came and stab Caesar and the final blow came from Brutus in which Caesar looked and say “e tu bruta” or something like that which translate to you too Brutus and he died. After they killed him Brutus and the other conspirators ran away from authorities but was later captured and killed
