Patterns 1-7:

Both paragraphs listed below incorporate the patterns studied thus far, however, one of them uses the structures more effectively.

1. Which would you say is better? Support your answer with specific instances from the text.

In my opinion, the second passage is better due to various kinds of writing pattern that the author used. The writer of the first paragraph seems to be sticking on only few patters like dashes, semicolons. However, the author of second paragraph seems to use more writing patterns than the prior one did. He or she not only used the semicolon and dashes, but also conjunctions. Indeed, one utilized divergent aspects of semicolon usage. Accordingly, it gives a writing with more excitement since it enables reader to depict the image; also, in terms of way it hears, it gives more rhythmic sound.

2. With the paragraph you decided wasn't as good as the other, then make at least two changes to that paragraph which would improve it.

Greening buds, patches of mud, scattered puddles, a birth of color -- spring was on its way. Noel always found this season to be the ripest: thoughts of change and potential circulated through her body. But what made this spring more anticipated than the last? Perhaps, it was the knowledge that she was going to be moving back home at the end of the school year. Or perhaps it was the warming air or extra chatter at home or one of a million other things : whatever it was, she knew this spring was special. Thus, it really was going to be a season of change.

Greening buds, patches of mud, scattered puddles, a birth of color -- spring really was on its way. Noel always found this season to be the ripest: knowing of the changes that would soon be thrust upon her made her feel a certain tie to the fruit trees that were just beginning to show their blossoms. She too would be plucked from her current home and shipped off to some far off place. Her endpoint: Lincoln, Nebraska. The plum's endpoint: who knew. It could have been Nebraska or Melbourne or Brittany or Johanesburg. But this was not the first time she had started over on some other side of the world, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. She had learned to look for the small beauties amidst these times of transition, and she knew these harbingers of spring would always find her no matter where she moved.
