Sentences are build by clauses. These clauses may be independent clauses or dependent clauses.

Independent clauses are those that can stand on their own. Whereas, dependent clauses can not.

Dependent clauses are used to make independent clauses more interesting or complete. There must be an independent clause for a dependent clause to be present.

I need to identify independent clause to properly define the use of dependent clause.

An independent clause has three components: subject, an action or predicate, express complete thought. An independent clause can simply be a subject and a verb. Ex: She sleeps.

A dependent clause has a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. Its presence in a sentence is made known when it is preceded by a marker word or conjunction.

Marker words - before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if

conjunction - and, or, nor, but, yet.

A dependent clause must be joined to an independent clause to avoid becoming a fragment.

Example: Because I lied. - fragment
Because I lied, My mom got angry. - Correct Sentence

My mom got angry - independent clause
Because I lied - dependent clause - complete thought was express when it was attached to the independent clause

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
