Jaden’s favorite fruits are: bananas, apples, and grapes.

There were several activities offered at the park: hiking, rock-climbing, and swimming.

I plan to invite: Maya, Randi, and Asher to my birthday party.

Makoto told me she has visited three countries: India, Peru, and Germany.

All of these 4 sentences have a colon when needed (it introduces several items in the sentence) and the commas separate the items in the sentence, which is one of its functions. It is important to clarify that in all of these sentences the last comma placed (between the final two items linked by the word "and") is optional, that is to say, without that last comma, the sentence would still be correct.

Sentences punctuated incorrectly: 1

She enjoys reading many kinds of books; graphic novels, fantasy novels and mysteries.

In this sentence, there's a semicolon introducing several items ("graphic novels, fantasy novels and mysteries.") and that's not what semicolons are for. Its main function is to join two or more ideas in a sentence. A colon should be there instead.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
