Your assignment is to create your very own “Yes, and …” conversations. You will need to create ONE conversation of two- to four-line exchanges.

As a reminder, look at the example shown earlier in the lesson:

Your friend: “I don’t think you’ll ever get a date.”

You: “Yes, and that’s why I’ve decided to go live by myself in
Antarctica.”

Your friend: “Yes, and maybe you should just move to Mars.”

You: “Yes, and maybe I’ll have to move to my own corner on Mars, because none of the Martians will date me.”

Which of the following is an example of an author’s purpose for using first-person point of view?

The author or the odyssey, an epic written in 700 b. c.,

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the first martian exits the spacecraft. a sudden chill came over me. there was a loud shriek from a woman behind. i half turned, keeping my eyes fixed upon the cylinder still, from which other tentacles were now projecting, and began pushing my way back from the edge of the pit. i saw astonishment giving place to horror on the faces of the people about me. i looked again at the cylinder, and ungovernable terror gripped me. i stood petrified and staring. what option accurately analyzes the impact of the narrator's thoughts and actions on the tone of the excerpt? the war of the worldsa disdainful tone is created as the narrator ponders the ugliness of the tentacles and turns to the shrieking woman. a melancholy tone is created by the narrator's thoughts of fear and refusal to avert his eyes. a tone of determination is created when the narrator thinks of escape and backs away from the edge of the pit. a fearful tone is created through the narrator's thoughts of horror and his glance at the cylinder.
