Language Focus: Telling Stories with Past Verbs
Narratives can be told in present tense or past tense. Telling a story in present makes it feel more
immediate and more exciting. Read the following story, which is written in present tense, and then
write it again in past tense. Note that the story ends with a quote. Since the purpose of quotation
marks is to preserve the language in its original form, DO NOT change the quotes.
There is a brilliant scientist who travels around to explain his new theory at universities all over the country. The scientist
doesn't like to drive, so he hires a driver to take him everywhere. The driver usually sits in the back of the room while the
scientist gives his lecture.
One day on their way to the 10 university of the week, the driver says that he has heard the lecture so many times that
he thinks he can give it himself. The scientist tells the driver that he will give him the chance to try. The scientist and the
driver trade clothes. The scientist sits in the back of the room while the driver gives the lecture perfectly.
At the end of the lecture, a member of the audience asks a difficult question. The driver thinks fast. He says, "That is such
a simple question. In fact, to show you how simple it is, I am going to invite my driver to come to the front of the room
and answer it!"

Emma has been asked to write and reflect on the theme of law maintaining order in society. She is using this passage from The Jungle Book.

"Open those eyes, Little Brother! Shere Khan dares not kill thee in the jungle for fear of those that love thee; but remember, Akela is very old, and soon the day comes when he cannot kill his buck, and then he will be leader no more. Many of the wolves that looked thee over when thou wast brought to the Council first are old too, and the young wolves believe, as Shere Khan has taught them, that a man-cub has no place with the Pack. In a little time thou wilt be a man."

"And what is a man that he should not run with his brothers?" said Mowgli. "I was born in the jungle; I have obeyed the Law of the Jungle; and there is no wolf of ours from whose paws I have not pulled a thorn. Surely they are my brothers!"



Which writing sample is the best reflection of this important theme?

Good friends are an important part of life. Mowgli has been a great friend to his wolf brothers. His Pack will keep him safe.
It is best to quit while ahead in life. Akela has been a strong leader, but he is getting old and weak. It would be wise for Akela to leave the Pack.
Fitting in is hard to do. Mowgli is turning into a man as he grows. It will not be long before Mowgli has to leave the Pack.
When laws are not obeyed, society is not safe. Once Akela is gone, the Law of the Jungle may not be obeyed. Mowgli will be in danger of losing his life.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence does contain an error concerning the punctuation of items in a series. The best option to correct it is:

b. A true baseball fan will go to a game in any kind of weather—on a chilly April day, during the heat and humidity of August, on a rainy September weekend, and even in temperatures dipping into the 30s.

Explanation:

Let's highlight the mistake in the original sentence:

"A true baseball fan will go to a game in any kind of weather—on a chilly April day, during the heat and humidity of August on a rainy September weekend, and even in temperatures dipping into the 30s."

There are two items that should be separated by a comma but are not. There is no punctuation whatsoever between them and, since they are long items, it gets confusing. Readers may think, at first, they are still reading about the humidity of August, taking a moment to realize the speaker is now talking of September. To correct it, all we have to do it add a comma between the items. That is exactly what option b does:

b. A true baseball fan will go to a game in any kind of weather—on a chilly April day, during the heat and humidity of August, on a rainy September weekend, and even in temperatures dipping into the 30s.

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative. (couldn't find this version)


Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.


Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. What effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot?


It allows Nick to include extra details as he develops the events that lead to the most exciting parts of his story.

It allows Nick to surprise the reader by disrupting the calm setting with unexpected excitement.

It allows Nick to omit the conclusion because he states his feelings at the beginning of the narrative.

It allows Nick to choose which events he will include and which events he would like to eliminate.

Answers
