Good Sentences

What is a good sentence? How do we know one when we see one? What can we learn from good sentences? Can we become better readers and writers by stopping occasionally to notice sentences and to examine them? We address these questions here by examining sentences from all types of sources.

This is the second item.

Look closely at the sentences in the paragraph from Peace is Every Step, choose one sentence with a clause combination of 2+0, post it here in a comment, explain why that sentence is compound, identify each clause, identify the subject-verb combinations, explain the structure of each clause, and identify the coordinator(s).
