Writing REflection 3

Lewis Thomas  perception on punctuation marks are that commas are use just to put a stop at a end of a sentence and he thinks colons are not attractive at all. Colons are to point you in a direction; as you can see thomas is going in his own direction. Now, he thinks the exclamation point is irritating of all the punctuation marks and simply use to emphasize the importance of a sentence. His quotation marks are just use for the exact quote of a saying.

 I agree with some of his punctuation theories , but not the exclamtion points.The exlamition point to me stand out in a statement or sentence; it tells power and emotion.I remember a rule in puntuation marks like use comma after each serious of nouns and orderly sentences. He uses humor in his writing , which keep things interesting.
