1. Write a paragraph in which you discuss how you might apply some of the methods for creating effective sentences from Chapter 9 to the design of a website. For example, how might you apply the principles of coordination and subordination to web design? What might you do to create a cumulative or periodic effect on a website? You might want to review some sites about website design to help expand and clarify your ideas. Use the two student websites for "The Knife" on page 254 as examples to refer to in your answer, if you like.
   
   
2. In "The Knife," Richard Selzer compares the surgeon to "a traveler in a dangerous country, advancing into the moist and jungly cleft your hands have made." Design your own website for "The Knife," concentrating on the metaphor of an operation as a journey or descent into the body. How could you use the medium of a website to reinforce this impression? (If you don't want to do a site about "The Knife," create a site about another "journey," real or metaphorical.)
