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.

1if katina that the first day of her internship at harper and associates would be so disastrous, she would have called in sick. she'd chosen her clothes carefully that morning: katina had dressed in black slacks, a white shirt, a vibrant turquoise jacket, and matching turquoise shoes to create a youthful but professional look. on the bus ride to work, someone had bumped katina's arm, and she'd spilled her coffee down the front of her shirt. unfortunately, the jacket couldn't hide the stain, and katina knew that the senior partners had noticed it when they'd introduced themselves. 2 one of the third-year associates, greg, had shown katina around the office and explained her responsibilities. then, he'd taken her to the copy room, handed her an enormous box of legal briefs, and told her to start making copies. just when she'd almost finished, greg had returned to tell her that he actually needed two copies of every file. after lunch, greg had katina start filing the copies. she'd been filing for an hour when greg informed her that she'd put the files in the incorrect order. katina could only hope that tomorrow would be a better day. how does the author reveal katina's initial excitement about her internship? a) by showing how katina responds to conflict b) by describing how katina felt at the end of the day c) by showing how katina interacts with other characters d) by describing how katina selected her clothes with care
