Point of View Practice- Identify the point of
view of each of the following selections. (Pay
attention to pronouns!)

• 1. I knew something was wrong before I even went
  into the house. My uncle's truck was parked in
  the driveway. He never left work this early. The
  front door was already open. My mother was in the
  kitchen, sitting at the table with my uncle.
  Neither of them looked up. Neither of them spoke.

• 2. Carolyn looked across the room at Mike. He was
  so handsome, so perfect. She wished she had the
  courage to approach him. But someone like him
  would never be interested in someone like her.
  ________________________
• 3. "I don't know what you expect from me?" Eileen
  shrieked at her mother. Her mother was always
  getting on her case over nothing. "You don't know
  what I expect?" her mother yelled back. How could
  Eileen stand there looking so misunderstood. She
  knew it was wrong to leave her younger brother
  and sister home alone. But she had done it
  anyway. ________________________
• Now its time for more pronoun practice!

  words--either spoken or in print--incorporated
  into your own writing.
• Use a set of quotation marks to enclose each
  direct quotation included in your writing.

  direct quotation of a whole sentence. Do not use
  a capital letter with the first word of a direct
  quotation of part of a sentence.
• If the quotation is interrupted and then
  continues in your sentence, do not capitalize the
  second part of the quotation.
• Example

  said, "We refuse to use that pesticide because it
  might pollute the nearby wells.

Quotation Marks Lesson 4

• Use a comma to introduce a quotation after a
  standard dialogue tag, a brief introductory
  phrase, or a dependent clause, for example, "He
  asked," "She stated," "According to Bronson," or
  "As Shakespeare wrote." Use a colon to introduce
  a quotation after an independent clause.
• Examples
• As D. H. Nachas explains, "The gestures used for
  greeting others differ greatly from one culture
  to another.
• D. H. Nachas explains cultural differences in
  greeting customs "Touching is not a universal
  sign of greeting. While members of European
  cultures meet and shake hands as a gesture of
  greeting, members of Asian cultures bow to
  indicate respect."
