Adding punctuation marks to a story can make it much more exciting and easier to understand. Let's add punctuation marks to the story about Fiza in the library:
Quotation Marks and Exclamation Point:
For dialogue, we use quotation marks. The sentence "Who is there?" should be inside quotation marks to indicate Fiza is speaking. Also, the question mark is appropriate here as it is a question.
After "Ahh," an exclamation point is needed to show the intensity and surprise of her scream.
"Who is there?" Suddenly, a book fell off the shelf! "Ahh!" she screamed.
Commas:
A comma should separate "Suddenly" from the rest of its sentence for better clarity and flow. This indicates a natural pause in the reading, emphasizing the abruptness.
Here is the revised story with added punctuation to make it more exciting:
Fiza walked into the old library. It was dark and silent. She heard a creaking sound. "Who is there?" Suddenly, a book fell off the shelf! "Ahh!" she screamed.
These changes add excitement and clarity, enhancing the reader's experience by better conveying the suspenseful and sudden events in the story.
