Apostrophes and Ellipses

In "1984" by George Orwell, an example of apostrophe can be found when Winston Smith addresses the image of Big Brother on the telescreen in his room, speaking to it as if it were a real person, even though it is just a representation of the Party. This use of apostrophe serves to emphasize Winston's deep sense of frustration and defiance towards the oppressive regime.

The only punctuation mark that may do this is the ellipsis. Sometimes writers use an ellipsis to indicate that someone is trailing off.

Typically, the ellipsis is used to show that text has been omitted from the sentence or document, but stylistically, an ellipsis may get the job done if you're looking to show "more is to come."

A colon is the only punctuation mark that indicates that more information is to come. An ellipsis, which is used when you are quoting from another written source, indicates that something has been omitted: that is what the word 'ellipsis' means. Any other use of it is at best colloquial and at worst incorrect, and should be kept out of formal writing.

The three dots (...) in a play script indicate a pause in dialogue, often to convey a hesitation or unfinished thought by a character. It suggests a moment of silence or contemplation before continuing the conversation.

Yes, apostrophes are used to indicate possessiveness or contractions in a short story. They help clarify the meaning and structure of the text for the reader.

This would be "people's stories" because people is already a plural noun.

The girl stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind whispering through the trees behind her. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then...jumped. The rush of air filled her ears as she descended, her heart pounding in her chest. And then...she soared.

One example of apostrophe in Macbeth is when Macbeth addresses the dagger before him, saying "Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going." Another example is when Lady Macbeth cries out to the spirits to "unsex" her and fill her with cruelty. These instances show characters speaking to objects or abstract concepts as if they were living beings.

An ellipsis (...) is a mark of punctuation that typically indicates that more information is to come. It is used to show that there is a pause or omission in the text.

Ayesha's mother's name is Bibi Aisha.

1. Those dogs' paws have mud all over them. (Plural possessive)

2. All the books' pages were all over the place. (Plural possessive)

The second sentence would be better with "were scattered around."

* Please ask only one sentence per question.

In the spirit of haiku, it's best to limit the use of punctuation and capitalization. In that respect, you should avoid using contractions.

Of course, many people break the rules every now and then, but it's best to learn to crawl before running. Working with no punctuation as you build your skill is advised.

In poetry a word ending with ed is sometimes given an extra syllable. So some people would pronounce ringed as one syllable and others would pronounce it as ring-ed which would be two syllables.

Tennyson would want his poetry to scan so that the rhythm of the lines to be right. An extra syllable could spoil the rhythm.

An ellipsis (...) is used to indicate omitted material from a quote. It shows that certain parts of the original text have been left out in order to condense the quote or focus on specific information.

Some examples of songs that use the figure of speech apostrophe include "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, where the singer addresses the character Jude directly, and "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, where the singer refers to the subject of the song as "sweet child." This figure of speech adds a sense of intimacy and directness to the lyrics.

An apostrophe is used when you want the word to mean "Belongs to".

Examples: "I have two Freds in my family." These Freds are not being used in the sentence in the sense that they belong to anyone, so no apostrophe is used.

"Yesterday was Fred's birthday." The birthday is something that belongs to Fred, so an apostrophe is used.

An apostrophe is alos used if the word is a contraction. That is when a word is shortened. Examples: 'Do not' is shortened to don't. 'Will not' is shortened to won't.

'You are' is shortened to you're. 'It wil'l is shortened to it'll, 'Shall not' is shortened to sha'nt, and so on.

After the last word of the quote, include a space, then type three periods with no spaces in between, followed by the appropriate punctuation for the sentence. Make sure to use only three periods in the ellipsis.

When using an ellipsis at the end of a quote, you must make sure to have a space before and after each ellipsis point, like this: "Here is an example...". This indicates that words are omitted from the original quote.

I think it means "smart lad," because apostrophe addresses someone or something not physically present to the speaker. The lad (victor and winner) is dead so he cannot possibly be present while the speaker is talking. But im not sure xP

Apostrophe means to address something than cannot reply back.
