“cowering in the shower of his girlfriend’s Staten Island home Wednesday afternoon in connection with the shooting”......Diagram the above sentence.

The actual sentence is:

>>Police collared suspect Darren Brown, 27, cowering in the shower of his girlfriend’s Staten Island home Wednesday afternoon in connection with the shooting. <<

Police___|__collared__|_____Darren____Brown_____
. . . . . . . . \in connection. . . . \ suspect \ 27_\ _cowering_
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \_with shooting_. . . . . . . .\ in shower
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \of girlfriend

(hope my formatting holds)

I haven’t diagrammed a sentence since last I was forced to by Sister Mary Moses of the Burning Bush All Lit Up.

When I erred in this task, I was sent to meet with the Principal, Sister Immaculata of the Holy Tree of Jerusalem.

The following week, we attended St. Alphonzo’s Pancake Breakfast.

Ahhh..... the memories.
