Ellipsis – An ellipsis is a powerful writing tool that enables words to be omitted in a quote in order to make the sentence concise.
Ex:
1. The elderly man, whose background consisted of a long life living in the South, could not adjust well to Northern life. The elderly man […] could not adjust well to Northern life.
2. He looked out towards the sun wondering about life and feeling the lies of a dream.
He looked out towards the sun […] feeling the lies of a dream.
3. An ellipsis […] enables words to be omitted in a quote […]. (I wonder where this is from ;3)
