Quicklet on Joseph Devlin's How to Speak and Write Correctly
Author: Taryn Nakamura
Publisher: Hyperink Inc
ISBN: 1614649197
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK In the introduction to How to Speak and Write Correctly, Joseph Devlin writes that his book is not a grammar manual full of rules. Devlin wrote the book for ordinary people who want to speak in a proper manner. Devlin writes some general guidelines for grammar and style. He begins with an overview of the parts of speech and formation of sentences and paragraphs. Some of his most helpful tips are those on common pitfalls. He reminds the reader that even the best writers make mistakes. Using examples of famous authors’ mistakes, Devlin shows how to avoid circumlocution, split infinitives, and redundancy. The chapters on writing letters and writing for newspapers have obsolete information. However, these chapters serve as amusing artifacts of the days when calling cards were still common, and women were guardians of the home. MEET THE AUTHOR Taryn Nakamura was born and raised in Hawaii, where she's recently returned after receiving a B.A. in English at Yale University. As a writing concentrator at Yale, she focused on fiction, but as a Hyperink writer, she's learned that nonfiction can also be fun. In her free time, she likes to run at a walking pace, haunt libraries, and eat pickles. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK In the simplest sentence, the word order is subject, verb, object. Longer sentences allow for other ways of arranging words. The beginning and the end of sentences are the most important positions. The reader pays closer attention to these parts of the sentence. The end of the sentence is more significant than the beginning. Do not begin or end a sentence with insignificant words. Loose sentences put the main idea first, and the descriptions follow. Periodic sentences begin with descriptive introductions and ends with the main idea. Speakers should use loose sentences to keep an audience’s attention. Either form can be used in writing. A paragraph should be composed of sentences that illustrate the same idea. Sentences should flow naturally with transitions. The content should show a logical progression. The first sentence introduces the main idea, and the last sentence enforces it... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book Description
'Had me gripped... Fantastic crazy twists and turns which had me up late in the night reading. Could not put it down' Reader review 5 stars They said they killed her. But they didn't - you did. I should never have gone to her house. But I was desperate to ask her some questions about that night. About what she saw when Joe fell from the bridge. All I wanted was some honesty, for someone else to have seen what I saw. I never meant to hurt her. To push her. As she lay at the bottom of the stairs, blood pooling around her head, I knew it was the end for me too. I kept expecting the knock on the door, the police, the handcuffs. But it never came. On the news, they are reporting someone has come forward and confessed to her murder. But that can't be true. Because her killer is me... A totally addictive psychological thriller with a killer twist you just won't see coming. Fans of Alice Feeney, Netflix's You and B A Paris will be hooked from the very first page. Everyone is gripped by The Confession: 'Crazy twists and turns!... Kept me glued to my Kindle!' Reader review 'What a wild ride! Full of twists and turns... The ending will have everyone in shock! Don't miss this one!' Reader review 'So twisty and drily funny' Katy Brent, author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It 'A page-turning, intriguing thriller with an ending that will have you pumping the air. Lots of twists and turns... I was hooked. Great characters that are well drawn in a well-placed plot. Unmissable' Reader review

'Wee Joe'
Author: Seán McMahon

Category : Legislators
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
By the time of his death in 1934, Joseph Devlin, or Wee Joe as he was more affectionately known to his constituents, had left an indelible mark on Nationalist politics in Ireland. However, at the end of his life, also, there was a sense that, like his associate and party leader, John Redmond, Devlin had become a spent force in public life, that he had become too true to his constitutional ideals to prosper in the political climate of the time.Nevertheless, Devlin had been a significant figure in Irish life, perhaps one of the most significant, and in this long overdue biography, writer Sean McMahon attempts to piece together the career of a man whose service to both his nation and his constituents has been more often than not unfairly designated to nothing more than a footnote in Irish history.

Book Description
In October 1931, Dick Tracy made his debut on the pages of the Detroit Mirror. Since then America's most famous crime fighter has tangled with a variety of protagonists from locations as diverse as the inner city and outer space, all the time maintaining the moral high ground while reflecting American popular culture. Through extensive research and interviews with Chester Gould (the creator of "Dick Tracy"), his assistants, Dick Locher (the current artist), Max Allan Collins (who scripted the stories for more than 15 years) and many others associated with the strip, Dick Tracy as a cultural icon emerges. The strips use of both innovative and established police methods and the true-to-life portrayals of Tracy's family and fellow cops are detailed. The artists behind the strip are fully revealed and Dick Tracy paraphernalia and the 1990 movie Dick Tracy are discussed. Dick Tracy's appearances in other media--books, comics, radio, movie serials, "B" movies, television dramas, and animated cartoons--are fully covered.
