Copy and paste them into the "favorite sentences" blog post you started last week,
give the title, subtitle, and date
of the essay you took each one from,
and write at least one good, detailed sentence explaining why you chose each one.
Here is the proper format:
This is a sentence from a paragraph I wrote on Monday, May 24, entitled "Bird Songs and Student Words":
"It was good to realize, once again, that this far-reaching universe finds its own wonderful way without my particular help."
I like this sentence because lately I've enjoyed using smooth interrupters, like "once again", to add rhythm to a sentence, and I like the adjective "far-reaching", which I found in the thesaurus. (I originally used "huge".) I also like "wonderful way without" for its alliteration.

This is a sentence from a paragraph I wrote on Sunday, May 23, entitled "Bird Songs and Student Words":
"We need, in equal measure, the soft and noisy birds and the shy and strident students."
I like this sentence because of the smooth interrupter ("in equal measure"), and the purposeful repetition of pairs of adjectives ("soft and noisy...shy and strident") I also like the repeated use of 's' sounds.
