The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a novel that diverges from the customary standards regarding format of how a novel is written. McCarthy tends to ignore the usage of quotations and apostrophes and also writes in a splintered fashion especially in the beginning of the book adding the tone of minimalistic times.

a pile of blankets, my dog, and access to Netflix at my fingertips. Instead of living out my dreams of getting a good night sleep, I change into my work clothes, pull up my hair, put on my name tag, and drive over to Bakers Square (the lack of apostrophe in my place of works name bugs me too).

The poem has 6 stanzas, one…

It took me a while to learn where to place commas, periods, apostrophe, etc. I had to work hard and practice to learn how to do all that and it has finally paid off. I’m able to correct papers and be like “that’s not supposed to be there and neither is that oh this needs to be fixed to” unfortunately I haven’t…

Furthermore, when Macduff discovers Duncan dead, Lady Macbeth enters, affected by the disturbance, and Macduff replies with a concern for her gentle and pure nature as a woman through the use of apostrophe, pre-modified noun phrases and interrogative and personal pronouns. This is apparent when he says: “O gently lady, Tis not for you to hear what I can speak The repetition, in a woman’s ear, Would murder as it…
