Suppression?

The following are from various assignments. Just by the by, I have an old batch that I plan to post later, so stay tuned, all 3 of you who read this. As always, these sentences are from student work and my comments are in ( ).

- He doesn't want a girlfriend because they are not what he wants. (That should settle the question.)

- Ryan daydreams of actually finding his English book so he can read these lovely modern stories that age like fine wine. (Ryan is the name of the student and he wrote this on his quiz.)

- Humans are interesting because of their sentience. (Is it me, or does this say that humans are interesting because they are capable of being interested?)

- He experienced post-traumatic stress disorder at war and losing all meaning in what did this to him caused him to also lose meaning in love and life. (?)

- ...a small world pool. (She meant whirlpool.)

- The man insisted in the army. (I didn't think they liked it when you insist in the army.)

- While life starts out beautiful and fresh, the road to death is steady, undeniable and inevitable. (Voted "Most Cheerful" by his class.)

- The cause of the major disillusioned was his wife death.

- He got his medals because he is from the america.

- There was a woman selling rosted chestnuts, warm in your pocket, meaning that its nice to have someone selling something and even after a while you can still feel it in your pocket, remembering the nuts.

- This group of people was the first group of people to work on the people.

- In late Victorian England the upper class is suppressed. (If only.)

Hope you are enjoying Memorial Day. More soon...
