Written Exercise With No Adjectives or Adverbs


Next semester, I will be certain to buy tickets to Broadway shows when I have some free time. One of the shows I look forward to seeing The Lion King. I have seen this performance once before when I was in third grade, yet I cannot remember it completely. I would like to see it again so I am able to appreciate the experience. I saw the majority of them when I was young. For example, some of the other shows I have seen include Spamalot, Grease, Rent, Big, The Christmas Spectacular, Cats and many others. I would like to see The Color Purple, Wicked, and Avenue Q. Seeing a show like those is an experience like no other. It is unfortunate that the shows that have been on Broadway for years are canceling! I hope that the shows that canceled make a comeback.

Note: This assignment was much more difficult than it seemed!

  1. Your NO MODIFIERS paragraph was well written and based on your comment, was definately not an easy task! We, as students have become so preoccupied with using them, that a written work without them seems impossible! Good Job! Seems like this paragraph was well thought out.

  2. Great job with this paragraph! I set about writing one of my own and almost gave up. Modifiers have slipped and burrowed into our language so much so that we do not even realize they are there. Taking them away is a very, very thoughtful process. Every word is scrutinized and thought about. You did very well, though. Props.
