Q Welcome to Week 5. Now let's learn how to interact with specific passages from a text. "To my mind, a writer who never uses contractions is akin to someone whose outer seriousness has no inner humor under it. But the other side of the coin is equally true: a writer who constantly uses them is like someone whose outer humor has no inner seriousness under it" -- John Trimble (81).
