Hi! Pls see if I'm on the right track. I'm trying to decipher the sentence (Ex: subject, verb, subordinate, etc)
"A good book can absorb us to the exclusion of the present time and place; a familiar "mental movie" plays in the imagination and occupies the senses." - excerpt from Eric McLuhan in 'The Changing Face of Literacy'
2 core parts (coordination)
1st core part - Subject (book), verb (absorb), object (exclusion)
2nd core part - Subject (mental movie), verb (plays) and (occupies), object (imagination) and (senses).
