Show that they are so used in Franklin's narrative.
Examine the phrase _with a roll under each arm, and eating the other_, and
see if you do not find an illustration of the fact that even great men
sometimes make slips. Does _other_ properly mean one of three things? Try
to improve this expression.
+The Grouping of Sentences into Paragraphs+.--The sentences above, as you
see, stand in two groups. Those of each group are more closely related to
one another than they are to the sentences of the other group. Do you see
how? In studying this short selection you may find the general topic, or
heading, to be something like this: _My First Experiences in Philadelphia_.
Now examine the first group of sentences and see whether its topic might
not be put thus: _My Condition on Reaching Philadelphia_. Then examine the
sentences of the second group and see whether all will not come under this
heading: _How I Found Something to Eat_. You see that even a short
composition like this has a general topic with topics under it. As _sub_
means _under_, we will call these under topics _sub-topics_. There are two
groups of sentences in this selection because there are two distinct
sub-topics developed. The sentences of each group stand together because
they jointly develop one sub-topic.
