within the table
- sp. anonymously
http://open-site.org/Arts/Literature/Authors/Adventure_and_Thriller/
- "tend to write stories that generally" use of tend and generally in the same sentence incorrect, delete one of your choice
- "escapes" pl. not correct, use 'escape'
- "chases" you cannot have an incident of 'chase'!
- "lost for normal humans" sentence should end at "lost"
- " make their way into" incorrect, the books cannot move themselves, instead say 'Many adventure novels are made into'
http://open-site.org/Arts/Literature/Authors/Romance_Fiction/
- "Woman's" should be 'Women's"
http://open-site.org/Arts/Literature/Authors/Science_Fiction/
- "fantasy" in italicised listing explanation, be careful to capitalise *all* genre titles if you capitalise one, the rest must follow suit.

http://open-site.org/Arts/Literature/Genres/Biographies/
- "A biography is an account, usually in writing, of a person's life." ...'written by someone else', needs to be added
- "about the famous and infamous people in society" delete "the" and replace "in" with 'of'
- autobigraphies need a definition, not a sentence as it stands, if you introduce biography, you need to introduce autobiography too.
http://open-site.org/Arts/Literature/Genres/Children's_Fiction/
- "creative fair tales" *fairy or rather specifically 'faerie' and it is one word 'faerietales/fairytales'
-"morals or historic legends" should read 'moralistic prose or historical legend'
- "20th century, particularly" add 'and' between the comma and "particularly"
- "The most notable titles" this is statement of fact, and misuses, replace with 'Some of the most notable..'
- "most recently" not "most" but 'more'
- "A strong fantasy theme has continued throughout children's fiction." this is not necessarily true, though correct in form, one could apply the same sentence and use many written themes, ie childrens' stories are moralistic still etc. Perhaps this should be removed.
http://open-site.org/Arts/Literature/Genres/Humor_and_Satire/
*"humor* ? and satire ;) tee hee sp.humour :P
- sp. (two instances) "Humorous" as above ;)
- "Humorous literature exists to entertain and music" makes no sense...'exists to entertain, amuse and liven-up, provide insight into' etc.
- Juvenal, hmmmm...lol As a student of the classics, this is an interesting choice. Juvenal was not a recognised satirist until quite late on, he recieved no recognition in Quintilian's Histories. lol Still, it is correct, so I'll leave it be :P

- sp. pre-dated
- A mention of bardic and oral tale is needed, it is not sufficient to say "it is assumed", it *was* preceded by bardic form, this form *was* oral and passed down the generations in such manner.
- "In respect of poets only two names are known and very little else" Which poets?? You can't leave that statement unqualified lol Also the structure is incorrect, it cannot be "in respect of" that would suggest memorial, change to 'As for poets..." or 'With regard to...'
- "old english" needs capital letters
- "said to open in" change to 'deemed to start in'
- "The Romans departed Britain in 410 and left them at the mercy of invaders and internal turmoil." this is un-necessary and not conclusive of literary evidence.

A
- Antithesis has a capital letter, the other listings do not
- sp. consonant (two instances)
- "pied piper" letters 'p' should be italicised to stress the point.
- "on the ear" should be 'to the ear'
- "assonance" meaning is only related to consonants indirectly, actual meaning is a coincidence of vowels without regard to consonants, or vowel rhyming.
C
- Colloquialism is not a slang phrase as such, it is a regionally bound word formation and sounding, specific to particular areas within any given country. Many colloquialisms are now found in dictionaries, having been widely accepted as formal language.
E
- "oratory" is generally the term for a religious congregation, and even though it can mean 'of the voice', the word is misused here, replace with 'spoken' or 'verbal'.
- "interating in" you cannot interact 'in', it should read 'with'
- sp. appropriate
- "expression" is not a term reserved for oral pursuit,it applies to written forms as well, it means 'to put into words', 'to state explicitly' 'to powerfully reveal or respresent by the use of language'
G
- use of "oratory text" again (see E)
H
- insert comma after "of a point"
- hyperboles are usually rhetorical
I
- incomplete sentences, though more common these days, are still not 'legal tender' within true language lol They are seen as improper grammar and this should be stressed, as any language learner, may think it alright to use them in exam or other such situation
- a reference to sentence structure would be good here too, noting the correct formation of a sentence.
O
- "A word that sounds like what it means or echoes its meanings." restructure the sentence: 'A word the sounds like or echoes its actual meaning'
- "give an aural, visual or emotional image of what they mean" this is not correct, onomatopoeia is purely aural, onomatopoeic words have an 'aural accentuation' not visual or emotional.
P
- "making the text more relevant to the audience" it doesn't make it more relevant, misuse of the word relevant, it 'personalises the experience'.
- "Collective terms to both the audience and the writer/speaker like our, we are called inclusive or direct personal pronouns." This also is too disjointed, perhaps it should read 'Collective terms such as 'we' and 'our' are called inclusive or direct personal pronouns.
- "personification" the meaning listed is incorrect, personification is to represent as a person or ascribe personality to an object or animal other than a human
-"pitch" meaning also wrong 'pitch' is the level and tone of a sound, be it speech or noise; in speech pitch is directly linked with emotion and the impartation of feeling
-"humorous" I could pick you up on this lol as my studies of course are in English and not US English ;P sp. humourous
Q
-"and provides a second opinion" not second, but 'earlier' or 'similar'
- sp. authoratitive
R
- "but rather similar" comma after rather
- "object being described and be able to" comma after and, and replace "be able to" with 'enables them to'
S
- "sibilance" applies to the letters 's' and 'z' its direct meaning is 'a production of a hissing sound' it is not strictly a technique, but loosely a feature I suppose lol
- "in persuading a point in" no, not persuading, 'qualifying'
