Close-reading Bingo

1. This student said "this" without putting a noun or a noun phrase after it. "This suggests that the day to come might be a little overwhelming and bleak. Sunlight is shining onto the handrails “formed by intersections of the lobby’s towering volumes of marble and glass.” http://kellylee25.blogspot.com/2011/10/practice-diction-analysis.html

2.This guy who likes peanut butter had a little bit of a blunder by using the past tense: "With the use of his realistic descriptions, the promt was easily visualized."

3. The horse lover who wrote this slipped up by using common mistake number 6, the fatal use of "use."
"Salinger also uses the character's brother to enhance this "run-down" life with describing how his brother has nice things, like a Jaguar automobile."

4. Finally this notorious Fulla of Moes exhibited one of the nine deadly weaknesses by being vague. "He compares the way view from the escalator on sunny days, and on dark days."
