I agree that the generation is stepping forward and there are sacrifices to be made in order to be able to advance. But it is only possible to move onward if we hold on to our past. The lessons learned from the past are what carves the future. So altering the base of our literature history does not benefit the changing currents of time.
If you are not fully hindered upon the idea of altering punctuation, then does the following perhaps seem appealing?

Hi Jeana! I have to say that I was chuckling throughout this whole post. You have a very good point when you claim that punctuation is essential for organization; I especially like the sentence "it is art". Also, I read the last half of this post in your voice. Was this a connection to the first prologue of the Bluest Eye?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I gave up on reading the last half :( You are right in that punctuation really is the key to understanding. It makes everything clear and organized.
