I don't really think about puntuation when I am writing...I normally just go with what I have learned over the years. I wouldn't say that I am a horrible writer so I just go with it. But, I don't ignore it either; I'm actually questioning right now if I'm doing all the grammar right for this blog. The reading hasn't really done anything as far as my thinking of punctuation goes. I didn't really understand some of the stuff that he was talking about like higher grammar to lower grammar. It was confusing me becuase I didn't really realize that different puntuation marks are equal to levels. I understood where he was going with the writing, but I didn't understand the different levels and I would never think about that when I write. I would have to be told to do something specific to a sentence or paragraph. That wouldn't click in my mind.

Why Women Aren't Funny

I believe that the motivation behind this writing was to be humorous. Humor, as described in this article, is sometimes seen when making fun at another's expense. Hitchens does this at women's expense. Although most facts are true, the author describes them in a way that is humorous and is appealing to mostly men. He uses much logos and pathos when writing this article as well. He examines many situations and looks at them logically but also appeals to the humor in these situations.
