Writing Homework Help

I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Add commas to the following sentences where necessary in this paragraph. Remember your cover page!

1 Mistletoe which is also known by the Latin name of Vicsum album has long been considered to have unusual characteristics. 2 Today it is known as the plant that provides an excuse to kiss someone but its reputation as a plant with special powers goes back to the Bronze Age. 3 Because it seems to appear out of nowhere the ancient Druids thought the plant was sent from heaven. 4 In fact it is a parasite that sinks its rootlike feelers into the top of a tree and then it literally sucks the life juices out of it. 5 Growing slowly ruthlessly and patiently it does not die until the tree that it is attached to dies. 6 Druid priests would climb the tree and harvest the mistletoe which was believed to cure toothache epilepsy and even infertility. 7 Although researchers have recently found that mistletoe leaf extract might inhibit the growth of cancer cells we also know that mistletoe is poisonous. 8 During the days of the Roman Empire mistletoe was regarded as a symbol of peace. 9 Standing under a sprig of the plant enemies would throw away their weapons declare a truce and embrace. 10 The origin of today’s custom of kissing under the mistletoe is not clear; however it may derive from the Norwegian story of Frigga who kissed everyone who walked under the mistletoe when her son came back to life.
