I didn't know whether we were supposed to post the puctuation paragraph on this website or on the mybigcampus blog, so I did both. Anyways, here's my paragraph of 3 sentences and 13 different punctuation marks.
"Not now! It's too dark-we don't know what's out there," advised Laine. The four friends (Laine, Becky, Cormac, and Felix) were lost; they had wandered away from their well-known path and were now hopelessly lost [in the forest]. Felix ignored Laine's warning, stepped out from the gnarled trees into the clearing, called, "Hey, anyone out there?" and then several things happened at once: a hooded figure came towards them, they saw the gleam of a knife and screamed...then all were silent.
This is really good!! I liked it a lot! It all works too. Good job Alex. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It only took me about half an hour to write--of course, about 10 of that was spent trying to find names for the characters.
ReplyDeleteyikes - an excellent gothic tale wielding punctuation impressively!
