About Grammardog
Grammardog was founded in 2001 by Mary Jane McKinney, a high school English teacher and dedicated grammarian. She and other experienced English teachers in both high school and college regard grammar and style as the key to unlocking the essence of an author. Their philosophy, that grammar and literature are best understood when learned together, led to the formation of Grammardog.com, a means of sharing knowledge about the structure and patterns of language unique to specific authors. These patterns are what make a great book a great book. The arduous task of analyzing works for grammar and style has yielded a unique product, guaranteed to enlighten the reader of literary classics. Grammardog’s strategy is to put the author’s words under the microscope. The result yields an increased appreciation of the art of writing and awareness of the importance and power of language.

    Tan uses Shakespeare as an example for grammar usage. Tan writes “Shakespeare broke almost every English rule imaginable, but almost no one would even dare hint that Shakespeare’s writing was subpar” (Tan). Tan is trying to show the readers that even some authors such as Shakespeare ignored rules about proper grammar usage and cared more about the content of the story. Shakespeare’s writings are impeccable but his grammar usage is…

    Course Description: Guised in an unassuming office building in Van Nuys, California, English 10 is a course that appears to be like every other of its kind. It will attempt to view the valley of classic works of literature from the lens of a blossoming youth by challenging convention, encouraging risk-taking, and exposing the grandeur of literature. Students will nobly attempt to attain the virtuous qualities of the disciplined essayist. They will be challenged to explore critical thought and conquer the restraints of the self. Students will clench an understanding of the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards and master them through self-penned expository, narrative, persuasive, and research-based essays. Furthermore, they will nick and claw up an Everest of grammar and vocabulary to reach a summit of limitless syntactical ability and expression for no other reason than as George Mallory believed that, “It was there.”…

    AP English Reflection

    • 4 Pages

    The AP English course was well organized and featured a broad range of literary works. At the beginning of the year, we read and analyzed an assortment of American short stories, ranging from the straightforward and touching “The Gift of the Magi” to the structurally convoluted “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” These bite-sized stories exposed us to a variety of storytelling devices and narrative styles, and they whetted our appetite for the longer novels to follow. Next, we read The Scarlet Letter and Shakespeare’s Othello, both of which I enjoyed. As we moved on to a collection of American poems, Mr. Magee’s unconventionally simple approach to poetry also intrigued me. Instead of overwhelming us with esoteric technical terms like “assonance” or “anaphora,” Mr. Magee simply taught us to read poetry the same way we read prose–a straightforward but effective approach. The Great Gatsby, however, was my favorite part of the course. The story resonated with me to the extent that I became emotionally invested in Gatsby and his dream. Even eighty years after its publication, Gatsby sheds…

    Although an author’s grammatical choices may not have the most readily apparent impact on meaning, they ultimately play an integral role in the development of meaningful undertones in a literary work. An author’s use of grammar can be a result of their school of thought, a suggestion of deeper meaning, or an addition to character development. August Wilson’s Fences and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” both include grammatical techniques and devices that contribute greatly to the meaning of the respective works. Ultimately, an author’s grammatical choices play an important role in the development of meaning in any literary text.…
