Sentence Structure, help plz
Hello, I'm trying to work out the structure of the below sentence.
My quest for fame was so diligent and harrowing that it makes the Knights Templar and their millennia of endeavor in pursuit of the Holy Grail resemble a bunch of giggly divs scrabbling around a city farm for Easter Eggs.
Here is my assessment:
I think this is the independent clause: My quest for fame was so diligent and harrowing
This is a dependant adverb clause modifying the verb 'was': that it makes the Knights Templar and their millennia of endeavor in pursuit of the Holy Grail resemble a bunch of giggly divs scrabbling around a city farm for Easter Eggs.
And finally 'resemble' is part of an implied infinitive, with the 'to' being left out, and it functions as an adverb modifying the verb 'makes', with the last part following: a bunch of giggly divs scrabbling around a city farm for Easter Eggs.
Hope someone can give some feedback.
Thanks,
Mike

Just a few words from my perspective on this paragraph. It is not an independent clause. Rather, it is just a simple "so -that" structure displayed in a dramatically contrasted way, something similar to this: My hunger and thirst were so intense after the 25 km run that a 16 oz Rib Eye with potato with a pitcher of beer may seem like a snack.
