Leafy: A Short Story

In the day where technology is thriving, and the communication through email and text messages are now the common norm, there has been a steady decline and absence on the use of proper punctuation. The slow disappearance of punctuation standards, like commas and apostrophes, indicate the need for change towards the written world. Lynne Truss considers herself a stickler for punctuation, and her book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves addresses the minority of those who regard themselves as punctuation "sticklers" as well. Through the use of humor, figurative language such as relatable analogies and real life anecdotes, Lynne Truss creates a call to action for all the fellow punctuation sticklers: embrace proper punctuation, and require zero tolerance for those who use it incorrectly.

She buried it while the boy blubbered the whole time.

So when the sun was just about to go down you could feel the rumble of the ground shake. Almost as if it was an earthquake. The buffalo bull had brought his whole herd, the herd surrounds the brothers and the sister into a circle. The brothers moved close to a tree, and the sister followed. The buffalo had spoken to the sister and said, “Now that I brought my people here, would you marry me?” Again the sisters' answer was no. So the bull got angry and started to charge at the girl. Right before the bull could get her the brothers grabbed her and they climbed up to the top of the tree. When the bull saw them pull her up, he started hitting the tree with all his might, shaking it, as if it was the tree was going to fall over. Just as they reached the top and could not go any further, the tree started to grow. It grew so far up that when they looked down, they could see everything. The tree took them up into the sky, and when they started to appear towards the clouds they dismounted off the tree, and they all stood there looking at each
