Sentence a Day

His Sentence

A powerfull book...no frills, no nonsense, just hard, spare prose...an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvation that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us.


From The Washington Post Book World's description of The Kite Runner. The author uses ellipsis to help explain about the novel by leaving out things that may not be so important, and to elaborate on the rest of his explanation.

My Sentence

A strong arm...no hurt, no weakness, just strong, heafty muscle...an intimidating amount of muscle and strength, weakness and power that frightens no child or adult to run or scream his name.
