When I was travelling in Mexico, on my own, recently graduated from university, on my way to Central and South America, and I was in Mexico City, I wanted to see the ruins of Teotihuacan but didn't know how to get there and my Spanish was rather limited as I was just learning to speak it. So in the streets behind the Zocalo cathedral, I asked some small kids how to get there, but I pronounced it something like Tee oh tee wa can and they both giggled and after I explained I wanted to see the pyramids they said that is Tay oh tee wacan is the correct pronounciation so that is an example of how I learned my Spanish and Indian names on my trip. The told me where to get the bus.

The topic sentence sets the focus<u> on the way the ideas are organized</u> in these two works: <em>The Code Book</em> and <em>The Dark Games. </em>Therefore, the examples that best support this point-by -point topic sentence are:
-<em>The Dark Game presents information like a story, naturally and in chronological order</em>. By comparison with the scientific style in <em>The Code</em> <em>Book</em>, <em>The Dark Game'</em>s style is like fiction. There is a <u>chronological organization.</u>
-<em>The Code Book presents information logically, organized around central ideas.</em> The Code Book's <u>logical organization</u> is the focus in this statement.
The following statements do not exemplify the topic sentence:
- The Code Book relies on scientific terms to explain the topic. The focus is on vocabulary not on the organization of ideas.
-Paul Janeczko uses a conversational tone to engage the reader. The focus is on the writer's style and purpose.
-Simon Singh uses formal language to inform the reader. The focus is on the writer's style and purpose.
-The Dark Game uses vivid descriptions to explain people and places. The focus is on one of the writer's literary tools: descriptions.
While an <u>oxymoron</u> is a figure of speech where two opposing words in meanings are used together intentionally for creating a special effect, an <u>euphemism</u> is concerned with the use of a word or phrase that replaces another with a less offensive or vulgar meaning.
<u>Examples of oxymorons are</u>:
- 2. Ted thought the game was <u>bittersweet</u> because his team won, but he was injured. <em>(The game was pleasant because of the result, but it included a bit of suffering since Ted ended up injured)</em>
- 4. After his ordeal, Richard looked like a member of the <u>living dead</u>. <em>(Richard seemed to be alive but with a dead soul)</em>
<u>Examples of euphenisms are</u>:
- 1.Nick was <u>stretching the truth</u> when he said that he was working on his second novel. <em>(Nick was saying something that wasn't exactly true...)</em>
- 3.The horse was <u>put to sleep</u> after injuring its leg at the derby. <em>(The horse was sacrified...)</em>
