"the changeling" - judith ortiz cofer (1993)
as a young girl
vying for my father's attention,
i invented a game that made him look up
from his reading and shake his head
as if both baffled and amused.
in my brother's closet, i'd change
into his dungarees--the rough material,
molding me into boy shape; hide
my long hair under an army helmet
he'd been given by father, and emerge
transformed into the legendary ché!
of grown-up talk.
strutting around the room,
i'd tell of life in the mountains,
of carnage and rivers of blood,
and of manly feasts with rum and music
to celebrate victories para la libertad.
he would listen with a smile
to my tales of battles and brotherhood
until mother called us to dinner.
she was not amused
by my transformations, sternly forbidding me
from sitting down with them as a man.
she'd order me back to the dark cubicle
that smelled of adventure, to shed
my costume, to braid my hair furiously
with blind hands, and to return invisible,
as myself,

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.
