Rewritten Sentences

“What I am trying to say in this rather awkward and cursory glance at American history and the pietistic awakenings and reformulations that have shaped it is that the dialectic of pietism is a continuous spirit around the moral core of our cultural ethic.”

“What I am trying to say in this rather awkward and cursory glance at Freestyle Skiing and the ski tech revolution of the last decade that has shaped it, is that the cultural rebranding of skiing is a constant process shaped the perpetual drive of athletes to push the sport further. “

“In an important respect, however the Dream of Upward Mobility, particularly in the south, was actually too successful; it quickly became apparent to those who employed servants that is was in fact. . . (couldn’t find rest of sentence)”

“In an important respect however, the introduction of can toads, particularly in Australia, was actually too successful; it quickly became apparent to the local population that is was in fact quite difficult to maintain them and then they became dangerous predators in the ecosystem.”

I thought this mini-project was really illuminating. I often find that my writing seems formulaic (anybody’s probably is to some extent). This seems like a really cool way to explore unique ways to structure sentences. I will definitely to apply this technique to our next writing assignment.
