ML (37 for E Block; 38 for C Block)
 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candie, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
 * Identify and EXPLAIN one example of irony in the passage.
 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?
 * 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.

Pages 51 through 52 show the cruelties of slavery. For example, slave's hand and legs gets cut off. Also, the irony of the passages is that the parent of the slaves sold their progenies to people; their parents told their children that he or she will work for someone and it'll be great. However, even though the owners bought slaves, due to the cutting of the body parts, the slave does not work as the owner thought. They just wasted their own money. So, it teaches that the blacks and whites are equal.

 * If this does not seem easy to you, take a few minutes to review page one of TASS before the next class.**

1. Review pages 7-8
 * entence Patterns 34:** (Sentence Pattern 1: SV;SV.)

2. How many independent clauses (complete sentences) are required for this pattern? Two independent clauses (complete sentences) are required for this pattern.

3. Look at the 'Examples' on page 8


 * identify the subject - verb (SV;SV) combination for each example (S=Gloria V=try; S=they; V=seem to be)
 * S= Gloria V= try; S= they V= seem to be

4. On page 10, complete 'Exercises' # 2 and 3 After the lost the match, the tennis team went home; they were very depressed about the match. The large blue whale came very close to the boat; it was very large.

1. Read the "Professional Examples" on pages 8-9. Write the one that you think is most interesting, and explain what you think the author is trying to accomplish by using the SV;SV sentence pattern. "He who knows other is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened." -Lao-tzu The author tries to compare the different types of wisdom, and tries to emphasize the latter type of knowledge is more valuable.

2. 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? Statement about a relationship/proposition and followed by a specific example.

3. Write your own example of this pattern. Feel free to imitate one of the professional examples. How are the two parts of your compound sentence related? Violence was the only means for the lords to take; they had to find some kind of way to keep their subjects under control.
