ok thx
r|A|i|N
if there isn’t a subject to the sentence, the verb must be passive instead of active. “arouse” isn’t passive; therefore it doesn’t make grammatical sense. if you replace with “was aroused”, the passive is used and the sentence is correct. i think you meant “arose”.
sorry i keep correcting you; i’m weirdly defensive of good grammar?? more my fault than yours.
Cues&Contests
@weirdo, the line does not have to be in your piece. It can be if you'd like, but it can also just be a theme for you to base your writing off.
@r|A|i|N|, the meaning of arouse was meant to be evoke or awaken, but if you'd like to use your connotation of it, of course you may :)
r|A|i|N
i would join but i think you might have some grammatical errors in the theme. the word “arouse” meets to evoke or awaken; “arose” is the passive past form of “rise”; i think you’re looking for “arose”. there also doesn’t need to be a comma because “out of the ashes” doesn’t require a pause. if i do enter, is it okay if i correct the sentence?
