ABOUT THE AUTHOR

in Introduction I wrote this book in the second month of 11tn grade with the first page being about punctuation to writing essays. I never really thought about teaching someone in detail on how to write sentences to create essays. As the weeks went by in creating this book it became a lot more fun since I had a theme I wanted to incorporate to make the book a little bit more interesting. The theme I chose is Animal Crossing since it's the first ever game that I was truly obsessed with when I was younger. I had an option between my current favorite game or Animal Crossing but in the end I chose which one would look the prettiest. To this day I still play animal crossing so most of the quotes I got is from talking to some of the other villagers from my island. My brother and I used to play that game a lot when we were growing up but it was really competitive when it came to whose island looks the prettiest.

Punctuation/Capitalization Section 1

Holy hot dogs, you’ve really outdone yourself this time, buddy. 2. , Comma means whatever is in front and whatever is behind can switch, the clause and the phrase can switch places a. Imagine a campsite, all the trees, all the pieces of dirt, screaming. 3. – EM dash is used to replace a comma, replace parentheses, and guide the reader's attention to something. a.

It’s connected to the last thing you said. a. I’ve got two words for you: you rule...a lot. Wait, was that more than two? 6. ; Semicolon has one function which only connects two independent clauses. Ex. They came to 3rd period; they learned about commas. a. Beau writes the word cat; others write with a pen or pencil. 7. ?

Phrases/Clauses Section 3 Phrases – groups of words that function as a part of speech. Noun Phrase: A group of words consisting of nouns or pronouns and their modifiers that function as a noun. All the villagers forcefully wanted an extra amount of bells to pay off their houses. Verb Phrase: A group of words consisting of verbs working together and that function as a verb. Blathers crew knew they would be cleaning up this weekend. Prepositional Phrase: A group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun, and functions as an adjective or an adverb. Mr. Kapp’n warmly welcomed his people to aboard the boat. Appositive Phrase: A group of words that include all the words that modify an appositive and function as an adjective - IT MUST BE SURROUNDED BY COMMAS. Brewster, the owner of the coffee shop, worked extremely hard to satisfy his customers. Verbal Phrases: A group of words that begin with a verbal and ends with a noun. ● Gerund Phrase verb ending in -ing that functions as a noun. Chasing down the bug, the villager finally saw the way to be able to catch it without it leaving. ● Participial Phrase word ending in -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle) that functions as an adjective. The Redd boat came so that all of the villagers would quickly purchase his abandoned art pieces. ● Infinitive Phrase verb preceded by the word “to” (to read, to study, to write) that function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. Many of the animals knew it was time to set up the fire crackers for the fourth of july.

CLAUSES Clauses – groups of words with BOTH a subject and a verb that function as parts of speech. There are TWO kinds: Independent and Dependent (called “Subordinate”) INDEPENDENT – CAN stand alone as a complete sentence, known as a simple sentence pattern. In your island it requires villagers to be kind for others to get along with each other. DEPENDENT (SUBORDINATE) – CANNOT stand alone as a complete sentence and MUST begin with a SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION. There are seven (7) kinds: Noun Clause: Used as the noun in a sentence and may function as a subject, a predicate noun, a direct object, an object of a preposition, an indirect object, or an appositive. ○ Where they grew up sadly made the villagers notice how happy they were. ○ Kindly give whoever comes leaf tickets. ○ That the mayor was happy when the villagers were kind and respectful with each other. ○ Mr. Blathers happily checked what he had for fossils.

● ● ● ●

Adjective Clause: Used to modify a noun in an independent clause. Some adjective clauses begin with an introductory word: ○ This is the shop where the villagers often buy items for less. (“where” is an introductory word) ○ There is the bug that I absolutely needed. ○ The amount that you wanted is clearly out of stalk. Some adjective clauses begin with relative pronouns: ■ Wendy is obviously the one who got the most votes. (ONE is the antecedent of WHO and is modified by the adjective clause.) ■ There goes the villagers whose backpacks are filled with bugs or fruits. (VILLIGER is the antecedent of whose and is modified by the adjective clause.) ■ Sewing class respectfully teaches how to measure, sew and cut along on how the mannequin is built. ■ Is this the blanket that you so needily want? (that is the direct object of want) ■ Mabel is a sewer whom she gladly challenges to duel. (whom is the direct object of challenges.) ■ The family letter to which you read has sadly been lost. (which is the object of the preposition to.) ○ Zucker is a lazy octopus who has his favorite song cherry blossoms displayed on the island. (who is the subject of the song.) Adverb Clause: Used to modify verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in an independent clause, introduced by a subordinate conjunction and used to indicate time, place, cause, purpose, result, condition, and/or concession. Modifying verbs: ○ They fortunates put the bug sign where everyone could see it. (place) ○ When the bell rang, everyone fell asleep. (time) ○ We rapidly left the island because we were getting stinged by bugs. (purpose) ○ The island mayor talked as if she were mad at the villagers. (condition) Modifying adjectives: ○ WInter seasons seems twice as cold every year than how it used to be. (how much) ○ Mrs. Abel is as happy satisfied as her customers. (to what extent) Modifying adverbs: ○ April practice as harder than any other villiers typically do. (condition) Relative Clauses: Dependent clause that begins with a relative pronoun. The villager who catches the most bugs will earn a golden rare trophy. Elliptical Clauses: Adverb clauses in which part of the clause is omitted. When fishing, you have to keep your hands steady to be able to catch the fish. Essential Clauses: Clauses necessary to the meaning of the sentence. The island that most villagers interest is clearly Kapp’n island. Nonessential Clauses: Clauses that are NOT necessary to the meaning of the sentence. Mables and Sabels lessons, which began 1 week ago, aren't accepting applications.

Having more villagers in your Island it's going to change you, no matter how busy you are. Periodic Sentence: A sentence in which the independent clause is given at the end of the sentence in order to create interest or generate suspense with the main point coming at the end. No matter how friendly you are, the villagers will always talk to you. Parallel Structure: A sentence using the same pattern of two or more verbs or ideas that match in tense or structure to show that they are of equal importance and to help the reader comprehend what is being written - this sentence requires symmetry.

[WRONG] Because the villagers had no leaf tickets, they had to work for it.. [RIGHT] Misplaced/Dangling Modifiers – modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that add description; a misplaced modifier describes the wrong part of a sentence and a dangling modifier is missing the part it’s supposed to modify At the meeting, the mayor gave a plane to the villiger that had a ticket costume.[WRONG] At the meeting, the mayor gave the villiger a ticket to be able to ride the plane. [RIGHT] Double Negative – combining two or more negative words in a sentence in a way that is supposed to produce a positive force The villagers knew that it wouldn't do them good to spend their bells. [WRONG] The villagers knew that it would not do them any good to waste their bells.[RIGHT]

Paragraphs Section 5 Paragraphs – a group of sentences that together convey a shared purpose structured around the same topic. Introductory Paragraphs (Introductions) Hook (Lead / Opening Statement) – can begin with the title Anecdotal (Brief story to set the mood and lead the reader into the topic) Ex. Throughout the past 20 years when every child wanted a Nintendo 64 just to play the newest games when they were bored. SInce many of them were just spoiled like that they were being treated with the most popular new brand games including Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda and also Animal Crossing. Once they all got into the game and started putting in 1,000’s of hours into it they never got bored until around 2020 leaf tickets were introduced to the new and updated version of Animal Crossing. Query Based (Question that brings the reader to the topic - avoid second person POV “you”) Ex. Does the impact of the cost of items have an impact on the players playing the game? Thesis Statements (the purpose of a piece of writing – usually one sentence in length, but can be longer depending on the purpose – must be something that is arguable) Assertion (claim - a subject + a “so what” about the subject) Ex. Being able to collect leaf tickets can provide you many benefits that can help you out on the island. Fact (empirically verifiable but often difficult to argue extensively about - better used as evidence to support a claim) Ex. Collecting leaf tickets is incredibly easy to collect. Opinion (personal position on a topic) Ex. The Island provides the absolute best kind of service. Belief (social, religious, or political in nature – an opinion held by many to be a fact, though it is not necessarily factual – often involves a judgement) Ex. Excruciating in the temptation of getting rare fruit is incredibly difficult. Generalization (uses absolute or statistical pronouns: all, always, every, never, none, most, half – avoid using this type of thesis statement unless citing the source of the data) Ex. Everything sold at the Tommy and Timmy shop can be sold at a lower price in Re-Tail. Document Based (cites a specific source, author, and position on a topic) Ex. In your island, Mayor Isabelle argues that the leaf tickets will be a tiny more difficult to collect but the products will stay the same price so it won't be as unfair for everything to sell out quickly. Theory (a statement that can be tested and potentially proven - often answers a research question) Ex. Leaf tickets can exponentially lead to an increase in prices due to the amount someone can easily get. Clarification/Expansion of Thesis (could extend the thesis, preview the evidence supporting the thesis, give the purpose of thesis, establish the importance or significance of examining the intricacies of the thesis – this could be several sentences long) Ex. Matthew expands on his claim by examining the various elements, such as advertising and marketing schemes that can hook people on leaf tickets , particularly at an early age, along with reports about the cost of owning the game. Ex. The author examines the often weird state of the ideas of the cost in order to

encourage people from purchasing the game. (purpose of thesis) Ex. This information about the connection between leaf tickets and the cost outcomes might lead to crucial downfall in the Nintendo industry, (establishing the importance or significance of thesis) Body Paragraphs (must have echoes of the thesis in each AND present evidence to support or expand on the thesis) Topic Sentences (must specifically indicate the topic of the paragraph and focus on one subject and/or area of evidence or support – could start with a “Transition of Logic” that connects to the previous paragraph to give context) Ex. Additionally, multiple sources indicate that the amount of cost of leaf tickets has a dramatic impact on people's percentage in playing Animal Crossing. (Now every sentence in this paragraph must be related to the connection between fast food and health) Presenting Evidence from Quotations (quotes should NEVER be used as individual sentences – quotes should be embedded within sentences) ORIGINAL QUOTE – “ Leaf Tickets can be used to expedite many of the game's time-gated processes.” (Matthew 3). Ex. Several researchers agree, “ Leaf Tickets can be used to expedite many of the game's time-gated processes.” (Matthew, 3). Ex. “Leaf tickets can have an effect on the game's probability of people playing,” according to several researchers. (Matthew 3). Ex. Unfortunately for villagers, “Leaf Tickets can have an effect on people’s percentage in playing,” according to several researchers (Matthew 3). Ex. Unfortunately for villagers, “Leaf Tickets can have [horribly] bad effects on people’s playing percentage” (Schlosser 73). Ex. Unfortunately for villagers “Leaf TIckets … [a]ffects … people’s game plays” (Matthew 3). Examining the Evidence Paraphrasing (rewording of a quote into other words of the same length without quotation marks, but still citing the source - useful for examining the quote and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) ORIGINAL QUOTE – “ Leaf Tickets can be used to expedite many of the game's time-gated processes.” (Matthew 3). Ex. PARAPHRASE – People’s playtime may be negatively impacted by Leaf tickets costage. (Matthew 3). Summarizing (condensing larger quotes or sections - useful for closing the examination of the quote/evidence and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) ORIGINAL QUOTE – “ Leaf Tickets can be used to expedite many of the game's time-gated processes.” (Matthew 3). Ex. SUMMARY – Leaf Tickets can be hard to find. Abstract Examples (hypothetical, “what if” examples that do not refer to a source – AVOID USING THEM AS EVIDENCE – but useful for examining the quote) Ex. People might lose interest if leaf tickets were difficult to obtain. Concrete Examples (actual examples that do refer to a source – useful for enhancing your analysis of the quote) Ex. A study in the March 2020 Nintendo Switch shows that the average person that used to play the game before leaf tickets existed/ when it cost less. Closing Sentences (must end the discussion of the topic within the paragraph with a transitional or culminating word – possibly an adverb – and should echo the thesis of the essay)

Ex. Through several reviews of the game, it’s often said that including these huge range of prices makes it a better and more challenging asset to the game. Closing Paragraphs (Conclusions – should not be mere summaries of the previous paragraphs of your essay) Consequences of Disregarding the Thesis (establishing the potential consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – CREATING A COUNTERARGUMENT – could be one or more sentences) Ex. If the amount of money that kids spent on leaf tickets it's extremely profitable when it comes to the creators that made the game realizing their audience is mostly 16 and lower just to make the price go down. Statement(s) of Extension (extending the consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – could be one or more sentences) Ex. As such, the amount of popularity this has gotten everyone has been enjoying the time and effort it is to create a pretty village. Reestablishing the Significance of the Thesis (could be one or more sentences) Ex. Thus, as a part of those that have been playing the game for several hours, many people that haven’t played the game at all just have a quick to assume that it's boring, and expensive to just play.

About the Author My name is Davinia Pascacio and I’m 16 years old. I only spend most of my time playing video games. It’s sadly true how I actually spent more than 10 hours a day playing this one game called Valorant. I’ll never say what my rank is since many kids nowadays are try hards or just judge you based on the rank you have. But whenever I’m not playing games, I’m usually talking to friends or just hanging out with friends. I hardly ever go out since I’m just that lazy person who hates getting ready just to figure out who will be taking me. Other than that But throughout the years I’ve always hated writing when I was young and I still do since it takes a lot of time. But back when I was in elementary school my teacher , Ms. Stokes, was always patient with me when it came to writing simple sentences since I always took a long time to come up with one. After some time she became my tutor to help me out to create paragraphs to essays. I always entered her class during break so she could help me out with any of my assignments that involved creating essays when I was in middle school until she moved schools. I always remembered what she used to tell me when I kept having trouble creating at least one paragraph. Unfortunately I don’t have any sort of contact with her so I learned by myself throughout the years also including my teachers helping me out here and there. But mostly by myself since I sometimes encourage myself to create something without me having to overthink constantly.
