In this assignment you will use the following format:
1. Write a basic sentence.
2. Rewrite the basic sentence two more times. Each new sentence should give the basic
sentence a different meaning.
3. Describe why the different word choices change each of the new meanings and how
this could influence the audience.
4. Review and use the skills you've learned in the unit to improve your sentences.
For Example:
Basic Sentence: The man hit the enter key.


Meaning 1: Frustrated, the man sighed and made a feeble stab at the enter key,
hoping it would finally work.
Meaning 2: With wild elation the man banged the enter key, ecstatic that he was
finally done.
Explaining word choice for each meaning:


Meaning 1: In the meaning 1 sentence, the words 'frustrated' and 'sighed' tell the
audience that the man is very annoyed. He's trying his best and it's not working.
The word 'stab' makes it seem like the man is angry about the situation. The
reader gets the feeling that he'd stab the whole computer if he could. The word
'finally' lets the audience know that he's been doing this a long time.
Meaning 2: 'Wild elation' and 'ecstatic' tells the audience that the man is really
excited about what might happen on the computer. He's sure it's going to work
and is glad. When he 'bangs' the key it's not because he's mad, it's because he's so
happy to be finished.
