In a "Granny and the Golden Bridge"

Claribel Alegria's Granny and the Golden Bridge is set against the backdrop of the civil war El Salvador in the 1980s.

In it, Manuel tells a story about his insane grandmother, an vivacious old woman who spends all day cooking to regale the government troops stationed around the Golden Bridge. The bridge is latterly blown up by rebels, and it is expose that they had received intelligence about the bridge's cover from Manuel's Grandmother. She dress up herself as a brothel-owner to escape capture, and the last image of her. In the story is when she is paddling a canoe upriver, carrying munitions for the rebel forces.

Jack Aqueroses's  "Agua Viva; a Sculpture by Alfred Gozalez; tells the story of Fifty Fredo, a mentally disturbed hermit who control scrap metal and hasn't shaved or bathed in fives years. Aqueros uses long, run-on sentences to convey Fredo's manic, compulsive inner world, a world as impenetrable as the scrap iron creations he builds in his workshop. A violent encounter with some neighborhood boys is his first human contact of any kind in years, and it seems to be the first step towards returning to society.

DIA [1.3K]

The story focuses on Patol Babu, who is intercepted by his neighbor Nishikanto Ghosh to tell him that his brother-in-law, Naresh Dutt, producer of a film company, was looking for a man with particular characteristics. This person had to be around fifty and had to be short and bald. Patol Babu could not believe it, he never thought that something like this could happen to him at his age. Before his knowledge in the performance and wanting to know more details of his participation, Patol Babu was going to contact Naresh Dutt.

After the offering of the role Patol Babu began to remember his past as an actor when he played in theaters as the main actor. Before he used to live in Kanchrapara and  worked in a railway factory. After mute to Calcutta since he had been offered a better position, in which he remained for nine years. During that time he wanted to start again with the performance but it was impossible, the company in which he worked reduced his staff to reduce expenses and Patol Babu was one of them. After that I fight to make a living: from opening a store and working as an insurance salesman.

Finally, Naresh Dutt arrives at Patol's house claiming that Patol was the person who was looking for the role and that he had to go to the Faraday house to start filming at the next day. After Naresh left, Patol told his wife what he had achieved. For his performance he was paid but his passion for the performance was stronger but his wife told him to get scared because we still had nothing materialized.

The next day arriving at the place there were a hundred people and a large production that were already beginning to film. Patol asked Dutt what his dialogue was because he wanted to start practicing and acting as best as possible, so Dutt gives him a sheet that said the word 'oh'. Surprised Patol could not believe what he was seeing, he thought he was being teased. Then he walked away sad from the place. Sitting and thoughtful, he began to remember what his mentor Gogon Pakrashi had said to him at the time: No paper is small and you should be grateful for the opportunity you are given. After that he reconsidered his role and dialogue and started practicing the different ways of saying 'oh'. After practicing he went to the set to know when it was his turn to act. Patol waited and at the time of recording he played his role correctly. He felt that his mentor was proud of him and his performance made him feel so good that he did not need the money in comparison to his satisfaction for acting, so he left the place without the money.

What is the structure of the following sentence?
Digiron [165]
It's not a simple sentence: it has more than one clause.

It is also not compound: the two clauses are not independent <span>and a compound has independent clauses.

</span>It is however complex: the two clauses are not independent (<span>While you were on vacation is the dependent clause). This is the correct answer.

(it's not compound-complex because it has 2 and not more clauses)
