OpenStudy (12g):

To those old allies whose culture and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends, United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divides there is little we can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at adds and split asunder.

OpenStudy (12g):

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Paraphrase just means to change the words around, but not the meaning. Make it simple.

OpenStudy (batmano3):

OpenStudy (12g):

how would i paraphrases the first sentence

OpenStudy (12g):

to our old friends we promise to stay loyal and faithful

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Just change the words around... For ex. We promise to be honest to our old friends.

OpenStudy (12g):

what about the last sentence\

OpenStudy (conqueror):

You try to paraphrase the last sentence since I gave you an example.

OpenStudy (12g):

i dont even understand what it means

OpenStudy (12g):

We promise to be honest to our old friends. Together theres little we cant do but apart theres little we can do.

OpenStudy (batmano3):

okay think what words that you dont understand and figure it out by using context clues

OpenStudy (batmano3):

so if we look we know the first sentence is We promise to be honest with old friends-that doesnt really need to be paraphrased

OpenStudy (missmeow):

1. Paraphrasing is not summarizing. 2. Paraphrasing is a smaller version of a larger text, written in your own words. 3. You could try to paraphrase each and every sentence, but it would be better to paraphrase the whole thing. 4. The sentence - 'Together there is little we cant do but apart there is little we can do.' Means, well... I'll give an example. We can get more done if we work together, but if we don't work together, we will get little done. 5. So there you have it. I hope this helps.
