of the text...

“The Day of Destiny”
from Morte D’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte D’Arthur is the most complete
single version of the tales of King Arthur and his court that
has been written in English.
“The Day of Destiny,” an excerpt from this work, describes
the end of King Arthur’s reign and the dissolution of the
order which he, along with his Knights of the Round Table,
has established. This end grows out of the corruption
within the royal court itself. Arthur’s illegitimate son
Mordred knows of the secret love affair between Arthur’s
wife, Queen Guinevere, and his best friend, Sir Lancelot.
One night Mordred leads a band of knights to Guinevere’s
chamber, where they find the Queen with Lancelot.

Although he is reluctant, Arthur feels obligated to
obey the law of the land and burn his wife at the
stake. However, at the last minute Lancelot rescues
her, killing two knights who are guarding her.
Lancelot subsequently flees to a castle in France and
Arthur forgives Guinevere. Sir Gawain, the brother of
the dead knights, demands vengeance on Lancelot.
His hatred forces Arthur to lead his men on an attack
against Lancelot’s French fortress. In the ensuing
battles Lancelot seriously wounds Gawain but refuses
to kill him.

1. They can indicate chronological order, or order of
importance (e.g. first ...secondly ... thirdly; to begin
with .... next ... to conclude).
2. They can add to or reinforce what has already been said
(e.g. furthermore; in addition; what is more).
3. They can indicate that two propositions have equal
status (likewise; similarly).
Sequence markers can signal how to interpret the
relationship between sentences in a number of
different ways. For example:

4. They can indicate cause-result relationships
(e.g. consequently; so; as a result).
5. They can indicate that a given proposition contradicts
an earlier one (e.g. conversely; on the contrary;by way
of contrast).
6. They can indicate concession (e.g. nevertheless; in any
case; for all that; all the same).

7. Sometimes a distinction is made between internal
and external sequencers, i.e. the use of these
markers to indicate ‘real world’ events (external), or
‘rhetorical organization’ (internal). For example, First
of all .... then .... finally can indicate chronological
sequence (external), or order of importance
(internal).

A Short History of Punctuation
The educational reforms of Charlemagne led to the
invention of lower case letters which could be written and
read much faster / Phrases and sentence endings were
indicated either by .. . or by a slash/
As time went on writers looked for more ways to
clarify meaning / In medieval music notation they found a
way to indicate how a voice should rise or fall at the end
of a sentence or phrase. Can you hear your voice rise at
the end of a question? Our question mark came directly
from medieval music notation. When a long sentence
broke in the middle > they put a new mark that became
our semicolon and colon. The hyphen appeared as two
lines instead of one.

Around A.D. 1500 the indented paragraph appeared,
as did the comma and period as we know them. Printers
of the Renaissance invented new marks like the exclama-
tion points and quotation marks.
By that time, people were commonly reading silently,
and punctuation came to depend more on grammatical
groups than breath groups.(Parentheses and dashes
appeared with the advent of printing.)
By the end of the seventeenth century, our punctua-
tion system was in place for the most part, though
sometimes details varied. Just think, though: After only a
few lessons in school—and with lots of practice reading
and writing—you can boast that you’ve mastered a
system that took westerners many centuries to develop.

 What have you observed as unusual in the
informative article?
What punctuation marks are described in
the article?
 What problems in writing and reading are caused
by improper use ofcapitalization and
punctuation marks?
 Are these problems applicable even in today’s
world?
 How do we solve such problems?

When you read poems, you don’t pause or
stop at the end of the lines, but you watch out for
commas or period to guide you. Use punctuation
marks to help you find the sensible meaning of
what you’re reading. Clarity of expressions in
poetry or prose composition exists if the sentences
are appropriately punctuated and the words are
properly capitalized.

Spot the signals and punctuation marks
Sequence Signals Function in the Sentence
e.g. then
To show additional action/s or
follow – up disposition
Direction: Scan the poem “Beowulf”. List down the sequence
signals you can spot. Illustrate how these words are
used in the selection by filling out the grid below.

Mark the Punctuations
He journeyed, forever joyless,
Straight to the door, then snapped it
open,
Tore its iron fasteners with a touch,
And rushed angrily over the threshold.
He strode quickly across the inlaid
Floor, snarling and fierce: His eyes
Gleamed in the darkness, burned with
a gruesome Light.
Direction: Below are stanzas from Beowulf. Take note of
the punctuation marks used
The infamous killer fought
For his freedom, wanting no flesh but
retreat,
Desiring nothing but escape;his claws
Had been caught, he was trapped.
The battle was over, Beowulf
Had been granted new glory: Grendel escaped,
But wounded as he was could flee to his den,
His miserable hole at the bottom of the marsh,
Only to die, to wait for the end
Of all his days. And after that bloody
Combat the Danes laughed with delight.

Questions:
1. What punctuation marks are highlighted in
the given stanzas?
2. What is the meaning conveyed when these
