h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Your entry on CT is an interesting read, and I learned some things that I never knew! I am from NH, so entries about the New England states appeal to me.

As an English teacher, I'd like to offer some tips for your entry.
1. Never begin a sentence with 'then,' as you do in the paragraph beginning, 'Then following World War II.'
2. The same goes for the word, 'they.' Instead of saying 'They used to call it Yankee ingenuity,' you might think about saying, 'New Englanders call it Yankee ingenuity.'
3. You might try organizing your sections differently. Begin with the vital statistics (and move the section on climate closer to the statistics), then discuss history, and then the present. This would give the entry better flow.
4. I'd personally like to see something more about outdoor leisure activities in Connecticut. Does the state have any good state parks? How's the fishing and/or hunting? You could also discuss the role of any major rivers.
5. You might include the fact that CT is close enough to NYC to allow residents of the state to take advantage of things like Broadway shows.
6. Pay attention to your sentences. Use more punctuation and vary your sentence length.

Otherwise, an enjoyable read!

Oh, I knew I'd forget something!

In your section about Eggs Benedict, the first sentence is not a sentence at all, because there is no subject. Change it, change it! I'd opt for something like, 'Eggs Benedict was invented by a yachtsman whose vessel was anchored off the coast of Connecticut.' (You can use that sentence, if you wish!)

A forum exists for thisn kind of criticism; it is called Peer Review.
If you click on the words Peer review in the right column it will take you there.
I changed the first sentence in Eggs benedict.
I like your idea about having more outdoors stuff. I'll look into it.
As to how I start my sentences that is a matter of style and idiom.
When I say They used to call it Yankee ingenuity I am talking about that unnamed authority that everyone has heard about but nobody knows
like for example "they say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence." Who says it? we don't know. It is just something 'THEY' say. The same for yankee ingenuity.

Hmm, thought I was in peer review when I did posted; I had clicked on the peer review link. Oh well. Glad I could help in any way. In any event, it was nice to see another New Englander. (BTW, I visited Mystic Seaport when I was a kid, and it left a big impression on me! I can credit that family vacation for my love of swashbuckling films!)
