The art-a-thon event I went to was the sentence one.At first I thought it was going to be boring because there is not much in a sentence .I believed they were just going to be explaining how we can formulate different sentences.What I learned from the workshop is that there is actually so much that can come from just one sentence .The sentence we focused on was “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”Jane Austen,Pride and Prejudice(1813).The sentence starts with the word “it”.The first thing that was asked to us was what does that “it” mean exactly.The “it” is actually referring to “that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife ” or the it could be referring to the ” truth universally acknowledged “.The sentence has a lot to play around with and during the workshop the Professor who was hosting it used a diagram to separate each clause and said every sentence has a clause ,but not every clause is a sentence.Also in the sentence the author wants to to believe that what she is saying is true but she doesn’t mainly say it’s true by the word placement.She wants everyone to believe that a man should have a nice wife and frames it in a way in which you will believe her but she is not stating that is completely false or true .The workshop was very interesting from the parts that I stayed for and it made me think about word placement and it is something I will look out more for.
