Read the excerpt from the odyssey. plunder we took, and we enslaved the women, to make division, equal shares to all— but on the spot i told them: 'back, and quickly! out to sea again! ' my men were mutinous, fools, on stores of wine. sheep after sheep they butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle, feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running to call to arms the main force of cicones. which is the most effective paraphrase of this excerpt? when odysseus and his men arrived on the island of cicones, they enslaved women and feasted on the sheep and cattle they had butchered by the sea. although odysseus tells his men that they need to return quickly to the ship, the men are too busy dividing their findings into equal shares for everyone. odysseus warns his men to return to the ship, but many of the men did not listen and instead ran inland to see what else they could take for themselves. the men continued their acts of greed despite odysseus’s commands to stop and return to the ship, and the fugitives of cicones ran inland to fetch .

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
