These four letters cause frustration for many as they do not communicate complete thoughts to a writer or provide suggestions for revision. Writers may not realize the confusion because they do not possess strategies to identify a sentence fragment.Įditors and teachers are notorious for scribbling “frag” in the margin of a narrative to notify writers of an error. However fragmented thoughts challenge readers to create meaning increasing frustration while decreasing understanding. Often the words on the page make sense to writers, the creator, because they infer meaning to the incomplete phrase. However, sometimes it is difficult when writers subconsciously fill in the gaps and read what they think a sentences says. In writing, it is the author’s responsibility to communicate with clarity. When confronted by a fragment, the observer or reader is presented with an incomplete image that generates more questions than answers. Fragments of words sparked ideas without providing cohesive thoughts to the listeners.
