Erinreadsthebooks I wish the educational powers that be would take note of the sentence. 5y
LiterRohde @charl08 This can really help a student understand and visualize the relationships between words in a sentence. Each word has a specific place to go based on its function as well as its relationship to the other words in the sentence. 5y

One of my favorite authors— Mark Twain! I absolutely love American Literature. Once while I was shopping at half price books (a favorite store for a broke college student😇), I stumbled upon this awesome book of collected quotes!

What are some classic American favorites of yours?

Judybskt I actually enjoy Mark Twain very much. I was an English Lit major and one of my favorite classes was “The Humor of Mark Twain”. 5y
