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.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
