Breakthrough Writer: The Curse of Comma Splices

The purpose of a writing class is to develop a meaningful thesis, direct or implied, that will generate a compelling essay. Most importantly, a meaningful thesis will have a strong emotional connection between you and the material. In fact, if you don’t have a “fire in your belly” to write the paper, your essay will be nothing more than a limp document, a perfunctory exercise in futility. A successful thesis will also be intellectually challenging and afford a complexity worthy of college-level writing. Thirdly, the successful thesis will be demonstrable, which means it can be supported by examples and illustrations in a recognizable organizational design.

Comma Splices

I don't understand the idea of a curse, it sounds more like a conspiracy.

As a kid life was difficult, I had to cope with many ordeals.

I had no idea why I was so full of rage, until I talked to my father, he stated that as a child he had similar problems.

My curse and Stanley's curse weren't so different, we both overcame our dilemmas.

I love to say Hakuna Matata, it means no worries.

Stanley doesn't feel sorry for himself, rather he shows courage.
