Semicolon

being told to freewrite about anything, I froze not remembering how to just write though I am a girl who normally has plenty to say. Once I finally got started another problem soon arose, it had been so long since I had to put anything down on paper that my mind was unaware of how to properly write a paragraph let alone an essay if I had too. There were words that would come to mind that I couldn’t remember how to spell so I would end up changing how I was saying something or what I was saying. There were moments where I’d put words down and then stare at them questioning if I had spelled them all right. Finally, was punctuation I have never really known where to place all the fancy different symbols that I see on my keyboard. Colons/semicolons, dashes, hyphens, parentheses, brackets, braces, brackets and even apostrophes have been confusing too me throughout most of my life. I use too think that I knew when and where to put a comma but after having to edit a few papers or even a few that have been graded in this class I am no longer sure. Then there are ellipses which I always use when it ‘feels right’ or I am trying to shorten a quotation from another writer/author. Thankfully it didn’t take long for my love of writing to kick back into gear and I began to wish that all I had to do was freewrite. I learned that it an amazing form of writing that allows to get whatever you are thinking down on paper. I am happy to mention that it also started some personal writing and…

The Light in the Fog She wandered into the fog. The fog wrapped her in postnatal gloom. Deep in the bowels of her being, she flopped like a rag doll. Unable to stand, she crawled the wasteland.

1. I don’t mind doing homework like this, but I enjoy discussion boards more. 2. I’m excited about going to the Alpha Chi and Alpha Phi Sigma induction ceremonies, but worry about the travel costs involved. 3.

To Semicolon, or not to Semicolon? Semicolons are a great way to change the structure of a sentence, separate clauses and add something new to a paper. Unfortunately, it appears there are not a lot of people who know how to use semicolons correctly, whether it is from not being taught properly, or from assumptions on how to use them. Semicolons seem professional, and they certainly can be when they are used under the right circumstances; however, inserting a semicolon where it is deemed…

question mark, exclamation mark, quotation marks, period, comma, apostrophe, colon, semicolon, dash, and brackets/parentheses that are used in many languages’ writing texts to separate sentences, phrases and clauses in order to clarify their true meanings. No one can deny that without these marks both writers and readers would be lost and quite confused about the written language in front of them. Specifically, English punctuation marks have hidden origins, different uses and major importance.…

My biggest problems when it came to writing was using commas and semicolons, coherence of my papers and responding to a text. I use the word “was” because I found several resources to help me out with the biggest problems I have when it comes to my writing. The best resources I found for these problems are The Little Seagull Handbook, the MEAL plan template and paperrater.com. One of my favorite resources that I used was the Little Seagull Handbook and this resource helped me with my semicolon…

and a wide variety of poetic devices to demonstrate this causality, his conspicuous and incessant use of the colon and semicolon particularly establish this interconnectedness. For example, the speaker uses the semicolon to parallel freedom and power with manners and virtue. Moreover, he uses the colon to correlate Milton’s soul– the moral centre of the self– with his influential voice…

outline or brainstorm before writing anything down. A new technique I learn this semester is to write down all the facts. Once I had all the facts down I would categorize them in order and make my paragraphs from there. Also, writing down all the facts down first will help avoid plagiarism. I also learned to avoid the second person in formal writing. That would be to avoid using “you.” In formal writing, we should not address the reader directly. Also, numbers need to be spelled out except years…
