Write a letter to Amy Tan, the author of "The Moon Lady" about her story. Demonstrate your knowledge of the five grammar/style rules we have been focusing on in class:
1.Form the possessive singular of a noun by adding ‘s.
2.In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a comma after each term except the last.
3.Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas.
4.Place a comma before a conjunction introducing an independent clause.
5.Use a semicolon if two or more clauses are grammatically complete and not joined by a conjunction.
* Cite the grammar rule in parenthesis after the sentence that reflects it.
SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR LETTER:
- Talk about the imagery she uses. Do you like it? Dislike it? Why?
- Tell the author about how you connect to the characters.
- Make suggestions to Amy Tan about how the story could have ended differently.
