Sentence Pattern #7
An introductory series of appositives (something names elsewhere in the sentence) with a dash and a summarizing subject. Key summarizing words include: such, all, those, this, many, each, which, what, these, something, someone.
Example: Identity, nature, personal responsibility — which serves as the novel’s central theme?
(Checklist for this pattern: commas between appositives, dash after the series; summary word at start of the main clause; all appositives are parallel in structure and related in meaning)
Discussion
Archetypes: How is Arnold a warrior? What symbols/motifs does he use to express his worth? his overcoming fear? his courage? How does he fit into other archetypes? How do any of the other main characters fit into these roles?
