Affect and Effect

The following excerpt comes from the website: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-affect-and-effect.htm

The word affect is primarily used as a verb in English. It has two main meanings, which are closely related. Affect may mean to alter the feelings of, or to change the mental state of someone or something. It may also mean, in a broader sense, to change or affect someone or something in any way. So it is that we might say: How will the election affect the course of history? We might also say: The painting affected him so deeply he could not speak.

The word effect, in contrast, is used primarily as a noun in English. It has a number of related meanings, but generally speaking refers to the result of something, the power something might have to get that result, or a phenomenon in the world. An example of the word used to refer to the result of something would be: The election had no effect on the course of history. We might also say: The effect of the painting on him was profound. Phenomena are often also referred to as effects, such as the photoelectric effect or the greenhouse effect.

Homework Reminder

You should have 4 assignments completed this week:

1. The Story of an Hour

2. The Gift of the Magi

3. The Tell-Tale Heart

4. Authors to Know (part one)

Please type these (or make sure your handwriting is EXTREMELY easy for me to read!) and make sure it is all done on A4 paper. You should also put them in a plastic folder. You can use these AND ONLY THESE sheets for taking the test this week. You CANNOT use any other material when you take the test. If you do, you will automatically receive a 0 on your test. 

Take care. :)
