Before I initiated sentence combining practice my students mainly saw the revision process as one of editing. They seemed to operate under a least effort strategy, meaning, they changed what was easiest to change. So they conducted "housekeeping" by fixing spelling, capitalization, formatting, and perhaps punctuation rather than engaging in what revising should have been, namely molding the sound of text to make a message clearer or providing an audience with what they need to know. But after sentence combining practice the number of revisions climbed. My students were changing words, adding phrases and clauses, and re-working entire sentences

Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions about it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what this text means.

Generally speaking, we can state that the text presents how to make students review texts frequently, can improve the ability of these students to proofread and edit a text, making the text more coherent and fluid, with the modification of the entire structure and text composition. The text above reinforces that this is a result of repeated revisions, which shows that the more revisions students do, the more efficient their ability to edit a text efficiently.

Give me one quote from "macbeth" that shows his violence and arrogance...

hello um, what is this ( see picture )? I thought the purpose and message were like the same thing. also, this is the speech:


Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, Distinguished Guests, Comrades and Friends:

Today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to newborn liberty. Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud. Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all. All this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world who are so well represented here today. To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld. Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change. We are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom. That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world, precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and racial oppression. We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil. The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us. We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. We succeeded to take our last steps to freedom in conditions of relative peace. We commit ourselves to the construction of a complete, just and lasting peace. We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world. We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrificed in many ways and surrendered their lives so that we could be free. Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward. We understand it, still, that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world. Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement.

God bless Africa!

Thank you.

Can someone summarize this for me i just need like 2 or 3 sentences

I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhapsit seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could notspare any more time for that one. It is remarkable how easily andinsensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten trackfor ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore apath from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or sixyears since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, Ifear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep itopen. The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feetof men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn anddusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts oftradition and conformity!
