A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a sentence. Simple, little conjunctions (FANBOYS For-And-Nor-But-Or-Yet-So) are called coordinating conjunctions. A subordinating conjunction (sometimes called a dependent word or subordinator) comes at the beginning of a Subordinate (or Dependent) Clause and establishes the relationship between the dependent clause and the rest of the sentence. It also turns the clause into something that depends on the rest of the sentence for its meaning. See examples, explanations and list of common subordinating conjunctions at http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/conjunctions.htm

In reviewing a raft of re-issued novels and a book of selections of prose and drama by B. S.
Johnson, Colin Burrow explains that through the unstructured form of The
Unfortunates Johnson was endeavouring to evoke his experiences after the
death of his friend Tony Tillinghast from cancer at the age of twenty-nine. The Unfortunates has 27 sections bound
as separate pamphlets in a box. One
section is named "First" and one is named "Last". The rest can be read in any order. In a passing remark, Burrow suggests that
this novel, which Johnson described as a "tangible metaphor for randomness
and the nature of cancer", was "surely a librarian's worst
nightmare", adding that the immediate question that might arise for a
librarian is, "does each fascicule need its own shelf-mark?" http://prolepsis-ap.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-librarian-deweyan-pragmatist-peircean.html
Prolepsis
(rhetoric), a figure of speech in which the speaker raises an objection and
then immediately answers it OR Flashforward,
in storytelling, an interjected scene that represent events in the future. See other uses at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolepsis
Analepsis A flashback
is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from
the current point the story has reached. Flashbacks are often used to recount events
that happened before the story's primary sequence of events to fill in crucial backstory. In the opposite direction, a flashforward
(or prolepsis) reveals events that will occur in the future. Both flashback and flashforward are used to
create suspense in a story, develop a character or structuring the narration. In literature, internal analepsis is a flashback to an earlier point in the
narrative; external analepsis is
a flashback to before the narrative started. Analepsis
was used extensively by author Ford
Madox Ford. Also by poet, author, historian
and mythologist Robert Graves, as a source of inspiration. The creator of the flashback technique in
cinema was D.W. Griffith. One of the earliest examples is a single shot
of a mother rocking a cradle, repeated many times representing the passing of
generations, in his film Intolerance (1916). Flashbacks were first employed during the
sound era in Rouben Mamoulian's 1931 film City Streets, but were rare until about
1939 when, in William Wyler's Wuthering Heights as in Emily
Brontë's original novel, the housekeeper Ellen narrates the main story to
overnight visitor Mr. Lockwood, who has witnessed Heathcliff's frantic pursuit
of what is apparently a ghost. One of
the most famous examples of non-chronological flashback is in the Orson
Welles' film Citizen Kane (1941). The protagonist, Charles Foster Kane, dies at
the beginning, uttering the word Rosebud. The remainder of the film is framed by a
reporter's interviewing Kane's friends and associates, in a futile effort to
discover what the word meant to Kane. As
the interviews proceed, pieces of Kane's life unfold in flashback, but not
always chronologically. Welles' use of such unconventional flashbacks was
thought to have been influenced by William
K. Howard's The Power and the Glory,
written by Preston Sturges and released in 1933. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_(narrative)

Frank Lloyd Wright's Pottery House belongs stylistically to his later Usonian work, and
exemplifies his dedication to creating architecture that fits with the land and
was of the land. The original design for
the Pottery House was commissioned by Lloyd Burlingame in 1928, and was to be
sited in El Paso, Texas. Construction of
the original Pottery House was never begun, and the design reverted to
Wright. In 1982, Charles Klotsche, a
real estate developer from Wisconsin, purchased the plans from Taliesin
Architects and then had TA architect Charles Montooth adapt the plan from its
original 2400 ft.² to 4900 ft.².
Construction of the adobe structure was completed in 1984. This is the only adobe structure designed by
Frank Lloyd Wright. http://www.flw-potteryhouse.com/
In 1910, at the age of 43, Frank Lloyd Wright
traveled to Europe to present what would become his most beloved collection of
structure illustrations: the Wasmuth
Portfolio. One of these famous drawings
was something Wright called "Boathouse for the University of Wisconsin
Boat Club." Twenty years later, the
architect included this same boathouse in an international exhibition of eight
of his greatest works. Sadly, it was
never constructed. It remained one of
Frank Lloyd Wright’s most significant projects that had never come to fruition--until
in 2000, Frank
Lloyd Wright’s Rowing Boathouse Corporation acquired the rights to
the design and raised the $5.4 million needed to realize its construction. The Boathouse is being operated both as an
architectural tourist site and as a working boathouse by the West Side Rowing
Club, one of the largest rowing clubs in the United States. http://www.visitbuffaloniagara.com/buffalo-architecture/wright-legacy/boathouse/
