Photo Essay

This is a photo essay by my friend Jesse Ofendo Reyes who took English 103 last semester. He did a photo essay on the healthy/ fun options found at Clemson University. I even took part in the essay and it was so much fun to shoot. He made some very good points and went above and beyond the "norm". Please check it out! http://clemson.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1003437214904

Grammar Question

So Bloggers, we were asked to pose a grammar question and then find and/or link to the answer.

Q. How does one know when to use and not use a semi-colon and colon? What are the rules?



A. I found a very good website with a great explanation and some examples for each case. Basically, a colon is used to introduce a list of items or a definition whereas a semi-colon is used to join two idependent clauses. For more in-depth information and some examples check out the following website-http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/410/grammar/colons.htm .
