Punctuation and You

Some time back during an English lesson I was momentarily bored and started doodling ... and what was I doodling .. . punctuation marks ! yeah right - punctuation marks . My thoughts started wondering what kind of people would these punctuation marks be .  So , let's have a look at some of them.

Full Stop / Period : Mr Full Stop is the yes / no guy. He answers mainly with a nod . When you are having a conversation with him, he stops right there . He is not shy , mind you. He just hates talking . He will only answer when a direct question is asked . He'll try to get away with eye or hand gestures and if you are persistent , they have a 3 / 4 word sentence answer . He thinks talking is a waste of time .

Comma : Ms Comma is the slow talker. Thinks ... thinks and says something. She evaluates before speaking , takes in a deep breath before speaking the next 20 words . She's not boring. She's quiet analytical and wise . Not easily impressed . Will dig deep within , before making a point .


Question Mark : Are you Mr Question ? Do you always answer with a question ? Do you have a question mark look on your face at all times ? Do you keep asking Why is she doing this ? What will happen if I drink this ? When will my troubles stop ? Basically. Why - me - look all the time. They always look troubled and pull you down so Mr. Question please stop, take a look and live life !


Exclamation Mark : Personally, one of my faves . She is always happy , excited , shouting and a person with a full-on attitude . She loves life . She will start singing at a drop of a hat and has this very positive attitude towards life . " Everything has a solution " is her motto . Where ever she goes there is life , fun and laughter . Long live !!!
