The research regarding punctuation marks has been limited to dash, comma, parenthesis, colon, semicolon, and exclamation mark.The undertaken study aims at the standard usage of these marks and looks at how Lamb has used all of these in his essay under the question has been found that at some places, Lamb has violated important grammatical rules, which are blunders, but it has also been observed that to create a specific effect one will have to do the way Lamb did. The error analysis to some extent, has been used to explain the text and inner and deep understanding of the essay. This also opens up the question of when, how and why inversions, figurative of speech,and flamboyant style are rudimentary but necessary tools to acknowledge a good understanding of the writer's overall meaning.
