 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candie, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
 * Identify and EXPLAIN one example of irony in the passage.
 * "..that we are all children of Adam, whites and blacks alike." -p.52
 * This is ironic because he says that whites and blacks are alike and they are part of a big family. It's weird to treat one's relative that badly.
 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?
 * By looking at the negro slave who was mistreated really badly, Candide gets shocked and says that he cannot believe in Optimism anymore. This is significant because even though Candide faces many unfortunate events, he believes in Optimism no matter what. However, because of this situation, Candide finally admits that he does not believe in Optimism.
 * Have you ever encountered a situation or idea that significantly changed your outlook on the world?
 * Explain the situation or idea and how your outlook changed.
 * I always believed that the dogs are better than the cats just because the dogs are cuter than the cats. However, after one dog bit me, I changed my thoughts. So, now I believe that the dogs and cats are equal. (This is when I was very very young)

What are the two basic parts of every sentence in English? -> Subject (pronoun or noun) and the verb. 3. What is the basic pattern in English sentences? -> Combining the subject and the verb. 4. How is "Jump." a sentence? -> Jump expresses a compete thought and it has unspoken subject, which is you. 5. Write a sentence. Put a //between the primary subject / verb combination. Share with your DOL partner, and have him/her tell you if you are correct. ->// Rosa sings.

Orwell uses this pattern on page 27, "Nevertheless, without openly admitting it, he was devoted to Boxer; the two of them usually spent their Sundays together in the small paddock beyond the orchard, grazing side by side and never speaking." How are the two independent clauses related? -> The second clause elaborates on the first clause. (second one is an example of the first one) 3. Write your own example of this pattern.
