GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION EXERCISES "Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power." --Joan Didion "I never delighted much in contemplating commas and colons, or in spelling or measuring syllables; but now . . .if I attempt to look at these little objects, I find my imagination, in spite of all my exertions, roaming in the Milky Way, among the nebulae, those mighty orbs, and stupendous orbits of suns, planets, satellites, and comets, which compose the incomprehensible universe. . ." --John Adams (quoted in David McCullough, John Adams, p. 630) I am particularly indebted to current and former students for many of the ideas for sentences and other thoughts. Practice Your Syntax You are about to embark on an adventure of learning. Parts of Speech Need Definition Appalled as I was one day, I understood the message from the student.

Victorian British Painting Roman Living: Inside an Insula A Housing Crisis During the rule of Augustus from 27 BC to 14 AD, about 750 years after Rome was founded, the city’s population had ballooned to one million people. The hub of the Roman empire had transformed itself from its origins as a small agricultural community into the biggest city the world had ever known. It wasn’t until London, as hub of the British Empire, grew to one million in the mid-nineteenth century that there would be another city to equal the size of ancient Rome. However, the infrastructure and housing of Rome before the rule of Augustus was simply inadequate to accommodate the masses that were descending on the city for work and protection. Flats for the masses Ancient Rome’s architects found a novel and ingenious solution for this problem – they invented the block of flats and called the new construction an ‘insula’, named after the word for ‘island’. Health and Safety The insulae were usually built around an open courtyard. Collapse and Fire The Capitoline Insula
Редкие заметы немолодого идеалиста - Художник Андрей Рябушкин Андре́й Петро́вич Ря́бушкин (17 [29] октября 1861, село Станичная слобода — 27 апреля [10 мая] 1904, усадьба Дидвино) — русский живописец. Мастер жанровых и исторических картин, в основном воссоздающих московский быт XVII века. Новгородская церковь. 1903Рябушкин родился 29 октября 1861 года в селе Станичная слобода Тамбовской губернии. Его отец и старший брат занимались иконописью, и он помогал им в работе. Училище Рябушкин не закончил, уехал в Петербург, где поступил в 1882 году в Академию художеств. Его дипломной работой стало произведение на религиозную тему — «Снятие с креста» (1890 г). В 1890-х годах художник писал различные заказные работы, рисунки и акварели для разного рода изданий и альбомов, эскизы композиций для предполагавшейся росписи Софийского собора в Новгороде. Значительная роль в произведениях художника посвящена русскому пейзажу. В последние годы жизни Рябушкин увлекается созданием иллюстраций к русским былинам и к деревенским темам.
