Purposeful Punctuation

I think this chapter did a good job of laying out the different pieces of punctuation and identifying different structures that make up syntax and sentence structure. I appreciated the examples and detailed explanations and exceptions. I agree that students should know the standard punctuations and how to appeal to the reader to make it as smooth and easy for them to comprehend as possible. There are a lot of rules that I wasn't familiar with and I am now enlightened on matters dealing with comma splices, pronoun modifiers, and essential and non-essential structures. It's nice to have a list of important punctuation rules to refer to and act as a guide to express correct meaning in prose.
