LESSON V.—­THE ANALYZING OF SENTENCES.

1.  What is it, “to analyze a sentence?” 2.  What are the component parts of a sentence? 3.  Can all sentences be divided into clauses? 4.  Are there different methods of analysis, which may be useful? 5.  What is the first method of analysis, according to this code of syntax? 6.  How is the following example analyzed by this method?  “Even the Atheist, who tells us that the universe is self-existent and indestructible—­even he, who, instead of seeing the traces of a manifold wisdom in its manifold varieties, sees nothing in them all but the exquisite structures and the lofty dimensions of materialism—­even he, who would despoil creation of its God, cannot look upon its golden suns, and their accompanying systems, without the solemn impression of a magnificence that fixes and overpowers him.” 7.  What is the second method of analysis? 8.  How is the following example analyzed by this method?  “Fear naturally quickens the flight of guilt.  Rasselas could not catch the fugitive, with his utmost efforts; but, resolving to weary, by perseverance, him whom he could not surpass in speed, he pressed on till the foot of the mountain stopped his course.” 9.  What is the third method of analysis? 10.  How is the following example analyzed by this method?  “Such is the emptiness of human enjoyment, that we are always impatient of the present.  Attainment is followed by neglect, and possession, by disgust.  Few moments are more pleasing than those in which the mind is concerting measures for a new undertaking.  From the first hint that wakens the fancy, to the hour of actual execution, all is improvement and progress, triumph and felicity.” 11.  What is the fourth method of analysis? 12.  How are the following sentences analyzed by this method? (1.) “Swift would say, ‘The thing has not life enough in it to keep it sweet;’ Johnson, ’The creature possesses not vitality sufficient to preserve it from putrefaction.’” (2.) “There is one Being to whom we can look with a perfect conviction of finding that security, which nothing about us can give, and which nothing about us can take away.” 13.  What is said of the fifth method of analysis?

[Now, if the teacher choose to make use of any other method of analysis than full syntactical parsing, he may direct his pupils to turn to the next selection of examples, or to any other accurate sentences, and analyze them according to the method chosen.]
