Tony, a sixth grade student, wrote that the main idea of this passage was "if you get stuck in soft sand, it's really hard to get out of it." do you agree with tony? if you agree, explain why. if you don't, explain why and indicate what you think the main idea should be. your response should be 4-6 sentences long. stuck again! i sat there in the front seat of my jeep, thinking "i can't believe it- not again! " with a sigh, i stepped down to the ground and slowly walked around the jeep. there it was: my right rear tire was sunk into about 4 feet of loose sand. "sand is the worst," i thought to myself. "this is going to take hours to dig myself out." i got out my shovel and started digging. sure enough, it was slow going, trying to get rid of all that sand so my tire would spin again. "why can't i be more careful? " i kept asking myself. "i need to stop daydreaming and pay attention to the road! "

The theme is not what Tony says. The theme of a story is the message or moral. It shouldn't be specific to a story. the main character says "I need to stop daydreaming and pay attention to the road!" this shows that the reason he got stuck in the first place is because he wasnt paying attention. he also says he needs to pay more attention in the future. that is why I believe the correct answer is to pay attention to whatever it is that you are doing.

what grade r u in? does this help?

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
