Have you ever thought that it would be nice not to have to worry about things like capital letters and punctuation? What if you could use them any way you wanted--or not at all?

There was, in fact, a society that did just that. Ancient Greek writing contains no punctuation. There was no need to decide when to capitalize a letter, because all the letters were capitals. The earliest Greek writing did not even have spaces between words.

Here is your goal for this assignment:

Use sentence and mechanics skills in composition

For this project, you are to put your imagination to work. Picture a society (perhaps imagine yourself living in it) with no punctuation or capitalization rules. Brainstorm all the effects this could have. Perhaps you might foresee confusing or humorous situations that could arise.

Write an essay of at least 400 words illustrating your understanding of the importance of standards for capital letter and punctuation use. You may communicate this understanding through expository or narrative writing, and may be as serious or humorous as you wish, as long as you convey the idea of the importance of these language mechanics.

Remember to write an introductory paragraph and a good conclusion. Write sentences that require different kinds of punctuation. This assignment will give you an opportunity to use commas, apostrophes, hyphens, quotation marks, and parentheses.

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm going to be talking about what it would be like to live in a society with no punctuation. Warning labels would make no sense. I personally hated this assignment so I hope you enjoy.

Warning labels would not make sense, for example the warning for a prescription drug like this "schizophrenia, anxiety, fish breath, toe enlargement, hearing loss followed by hearing enhancement at 10 second intervals, tentacle hands, Mario voice, achne, brown eyes if you don't already have them, teeth growth and crusty elbows." Would be this "schizophreniaanxietyfishbreathtoeenlargementhearinglossfollowedbyhearingenhancementat10secondintervalstentaclehandsMariovoiceachnebrowneyesifyoudon'talreadyhavethemteethgrowthandcrustyelbows." Which makes no sense.

                                                                                                                                                     

I was thinking of all of the possibilities of what it would be like if we lived in a world with no punctuation or spaces. I figured out it would be normal to us and all of the people on earth because we would be used to living like that. But if the entire world wasn't like that and only certain parts were like that and you moved to those certain parts only then would it be hard to understand what is going on. All of the warning labels, instructions, cooking recipes and building manuals would be really hard to read if especially if the had a couple palindromes like racecar, tacocat, mom and dad which I really don't think they would have those words.

There are many more reasons why it would be confusing. Especially if you were somebody who was used to no punctuation to move to a place that uses punctuation. If somebody who was used to having all of the words to be bunched up and have no punctuation to move to somewhere that used punctuation would be really confusing to them. they would have to learn what each punctuation meant. It would probably be hard for the teacher to teach a child that doesn't know to how to use punctuation how to use punctuation.

In a summary it would be difficult to learn how to use punctuation and how to learn how to use punctuation. But if we lived in a world where we didn't use punctuation it would be totally normal to bunch and jumble up all of our words and sentences together because we woudnt know how or what punctuation is or how to use it whatsoever.

Write an essay of 300 words on the tpic My favorite food.​

Answers

Answer:

I am very foodie. I love to eat and cook. The food gives us energy. Without food, there is no life. There are so many dishes available in today’s world some like Indian foods like Biryani, Dosa, Pav Bhaji, Pani Puri etc whereas some like western foods like Pizza, Burger, Noodles etc. Among the number of food, Pizza is my favourite food because it tastes and smells fabulous.

The pizza itself looks so yummy, crispy and so cheesy. There is no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. My love for Pizza is very high. I am always hungry for pizza, be it any time of the day. Cheese is the secret ingredient of any food it makes any food taste yummy. Nearly any ingredient can be put on pizza. Those diced vegetables, jalapenos, tomato sauce, cheese and mushrooms make me eat more and more like a unique work of art. Every pie is a different shape and size. There are thin-crust pies, deep dish pies, and everything in between. There are pies with different cheeses and tomato sauce, or even pies with a completely different base altogether. On every occasion, I celebrate it with pizza style. There are times when I get scolded for having a pizza all the time because anything in excess causes harms to our health but a pizza lover will always be a pizza lover. There is something between me and pizza the bond which cannot be broken.

No matter how much I have eaten, I never fail to make myself feel hungry when I have my favourite pizzas in front of me. Flavours are felt exploding in my mouth when I take the 1st bite of my pizza. My love for my pizzas is eternal and nobody on this earth could ever take this from me until I die

Answers

Answer:

When you were younger, did you ever ask your parents to drive you to your destinations, however they would say no? Growing up, children wait and wait until the day comes when they are finally sixteen and driving. They can now take themselves wherever they choose without relying on someone else. The law is deciding to increase the minimum driving age to eighteen. If the age does change, teenagers will have to wait longer until they are able to drive on their own. It can also affect many things that have already been established. Teen life, parent life, and teenagers’ independence will be greatly affected.

  Teenagers benefit from driving at sixteen. Getting a driver’s license early allows teens to work, enjoy extracurricular activities, and gain experience to prepare them for life after school. Teenagers who are employed learn how to function in a workplace. Employers prefer potential workers who have experience. Working gives teens a small fluid income. Teenagers who earn money learn valuable skills of saving money and personal finance. Along with having the ability to drive to work, teens with licenses can drive to extracurricular activities. Clubs and sports allow kids to discover and develop talents and interests. Adolescents find future careers in extracurricular activities. In addition, teens gain independence and life experience from driving. If the minimum driving age were to be raised to eighteen, many high school students would not be able to drive before they go to college. Driving is necessary for college. In order for college students to travel to classes, jobs, and housing, driving is a needed skill. The minimum driving age should not be changed.

       While this issue affects teens, it also has an effect on the parents. Parents welcome their children’s independence. However, they appreciate it for different reasons. First, it allows parents to spend more time at work without making plans for their kids. This is especially useful when students live outside the bus area. Parents should not need to use their entire lunch break to drive their children home. Another reason teenagers should be able to drive at sixteen is so they can arrive at their extra curricular activities whenever needed. It saves parents from taking time off work to drive their children back and forth from school activities. If teenagers are able to drive, they can pick up younger siblings as well as drive themselves home. Finally, driving allows teenagers to transport themselves to and from jobs. Depending on the economic situation of the family, it could be helpful to have a small amount of easy income into the family for support. Teenagers who drive benefit their entire families.

  Parents, lawmakers, and even teenagers believe it is safer to wait until the age of eighteen. The opposition considers waiting until eighteen will teach teens responsibility and lower the chance of risk while driving. In driver's education, students are taught that during the first month of owning their license, new drivers are three times more likely to get into an accident. By waiting, new drivers will have more practice and experience driving. Sixteen year olds are more reckless and ill-prepared. At the age of eighteen, teenagers are more responsible and ready for maturity as they have finished their high school years and are going into college.

Although the opposition believes young drivers are hazardous, the scenario would be similar to if teens had to wait until the age of eighteen. Due to waiting two more years for a license, teens will be restricted from traveling, causing a heavy reliance upon parents. Parents or guardians will have to leave their own occupation in order to help the child reach their destination. Parental jobs would become strained or even lost. Opportunities to make more money would disappear, hurting families’ incomes and their financial status.

   In conclusion, the minimum driving age should not be raised from the age of sixteen. The effect on teens and their families would be too harsh. The independence that teens gain from driving at an early age allows them to obtain experience in the workplace and on the road. Furthermore, shortening their time on the road may result in more crashes. Parents of teens should not be obligated to drive them to every after-school event, every weekend game, or to work. In order for teens to learn the skills necessary for life after high school, the driving age needs to remain the same.

What is a plot?

The plot is the order of events in a book, movie, or other narrative in which each event has an impact on the one that follows according to the law of cause and effect.

A set of occurrences connected by the connector "and so" might be thought of as the causal events of a narrative. Plots can range in complexity from the straightforward—as in a traditional ballad—to the intricately entwined, with each component occasionally referred to as a subplot or imbroglio.

Storyline and plot both refer to the same thing. According to American science fiction author Ansen Dibell, the phrase is used in the narrative sense to emphasize significant events that have an impact on the plot. Plot can also be used as a verb to describe the creation of a plot by a writer.

Scout says that shortly after the Tom Robinson verdict, Maycomb “became itself” again. What does it mean for Maycomb to “become itself” again? What role does forgetting play in the community’s response? Who wants to forget? Who cannot? When is forgetting helpful, and when is it destructive?

Answers

Answer:

Maycomb is, at the beginning of the book, described as quiet. A place where winter is almost nonexistent, and the people are almost as miserable as the summers, suffering from boredom and apathy. After Tom Robinson is found guilty, Maycomb largely settles down from the excitement of the trial, however, not everyone can turn a blind eye so quickly or so easily. Jem is immediately distressed, and although Atticus assures him they'll "...get it on acquittal..." he still cannot forget. The rest of the town, on the other hand, tries to forget, Mrs. Maudie briefly acknowledges the horribleness that Helen Robinson must be suffering through, but she changes the subject as quickly as she can. In the end, this turns out to be destructive. Occasionally, forgetting is helpful. If Mr. Bob Ewell had forgotten which lawyer had defender Mr. Tom Robinson, he wouldn't have attacked the Finches, and subsequently died, but in forgetting Tom, he grew restless, eventually making a break and dying in the process.
