The English language is complex. Not only do differences exist among accepted rules of the spoken word, but style guides offer up differing guidelines. Read the Emily Dickinson poem “We Grow Accustomed to the Dark,” and note Dickinson’s use of punctuation. Then locate a style guide, such as The Modern Language Association Style Manual or The Chicago Manual of Style, online or in a library. Copy and paste the poem into the answer box. Then use the style guide to revise the punctuation in the poem based on the punctuation rules on dashes, commas, periods, and semicolons contained in the style guide. Briefly comment on what it felt like to standardize Dickinson's work. Do you think editors were justified in making similar changes? Would you prefer to write like Dickinson did in her poetry in your daily and school life?
