punctuation?
So I am terrible at punctuation lol nad i wrote this poem...can someone help me out here? ty in advance "I know of tomorrows closure; the ending of these arms that envelope me at this moment. You sleep with your hand carressing my shoulder as I stare through the dark of midnight at your face so boldly shown. I will not blink, I will not move. I fear if I appear alive, what I am savoring will come to an end. The only thing to benefit from is to intensify the sensitivity of my body so I can memorize every spot your fingertips brushed apon. Are these lips mine? Is the warmth you are giving off by accident or intention? I only hope while I brush my lips against yours, attempting to have you feel the passion I possess only for you. As I kiss, your hand brushes my face; treating it so soft and fragile and all I can do is close my eyes and feel beautiful and adored. Tell me not to leave, tell me you need me, tell me you are enthralled by any of my actions."
The poet uses his own punctuation. Here is an example it might give you some ideas: Know of tomorrow's closure: the ending of these arms that envelope me at this moment. You sleep, with your hand carressing my shoulder, as I stare through the dark of midnight at your face so boldly shown. I will not blink; I will not move. I fear if I appear alive, what I am savoring will come to an end. The only thing to benefit from is to intensify the sensitivity of my body; so I can memorize every spot your fingertips brushed apon. Are these lips mine? Is the warmth you are giving off by accident, or intention? I only hope while I brush my lips against yours, attempting to have you feel the passion I possess only for you. As I kiss, your hand brushes my face; treating it so soft and fragile, And all I can do is close my eyes and feel beautiful and adored. Tell me not to leave; Tell me you need me; Tell me you are enthralled by any of my actions.
What is the rule regardingpunctuation marks withitalics?
If I have a section of text that concludes with a word or phrase that is italicized, does the punctuation (say a period and quotation marks) after the phrase get italicized too? Or what if an entire quote is in italics, say because it is in another language, do the quotation marks before it get italicized too?
Punctuation does not get italicized unless it is within the italicized section that you are quoting. If it was italicized in the original, you italicize it when you quote it; otherwise not.
What are some rules forpunctuation with regard toquotation marks?
What are some rules for punctuation with regard to quotation marks? This is a question on my Eng 4 study guide of mine. Any help would be appreciated please.
Here is a website that is an excellent resource for you. Read over the section on quotation marks. In general, if a comma or period is your ending punctuation, then those will go inside the end quotation marks if you are in the U.S. The rules vary for other ending punctuation and for the British Isles.
