Read the excerpt from "hokusai's the great wave.” hokusai has taken more than colour from the west – he has also borrowed the conventions of european perspective to push mount fuji far into the distance. it is clear that hokusai must have studied european prints, which the dutch had imported into japan and which circulated among artists and collectors. so the great wave, far from being the quintessence of japan, is a hybrid work, a fusion of european materials and conventions with a japanese sensibility. no wonder this image has been so loved in europe: it is an exotic relative, not a complete stranger. what is the author’s viewpoint in this excerpt?

the great wave is popular because it includes both japanese and european elements.

in the passage the author states that "the great a hybrid work". it is influenced by both japanese and european elements. the author comes to the conclusion that hokusai must have studied european prints from dutch importers. besides color, the painting also shows the element of european perspective with the image of mount fuji off in the distance.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

in the following paragraph, the fourth sentence the correct answer is: three personal subject pronouns

”she was embarrassed when she found that they had been put back on the shelves…”

a   subject pronoun is a personal pronoun. i, you, he, she it, we, they.  

in the sentence it can be observed she, used twice and they used once. is for this reason that is a three personal subject pronoun sentence.
