The
hacker homework assignment was a good exercise to do. Some of the activities
were review, and some were new to me. As
I worked through the exercises, my mind began to wonder on past writings I have
done. I wondered about what I do wrong without even noticing. The activities seemed so simple and easy when
you just had to pick the correct sentence but when I went to the edit and
compare sections they got more challenging. Our group was focused on the
section 11-1 and 11-2, mixed construction. Mixed construction is something I
have never really heard of before. After the first couple of examples I was
about to notice the main theme of mixed construction that is; a sentence that begins with one
type of structure and shifts to another type of structure. Some example of
mixed construction are: Mixed: Every few hundred feet a test sample of
the layer of earth a bit of it is analyzed to determine the distance from oil. Revised:
Every few hundred feet a test sample of the layer of earth is analyzed to
determine the distance from oil. Mixed: Out in the rain was coming down on the children. Revised: Out in the rain the children
were getting wet. Doing this hacker exercise was overall very helpful for me.
