Jet Lem meets Reagan

Hello! My name is Jet Lem. My parents were Bruce Lem and Ling Lem. We lived in Brentwood Kroger for a while, but then someone came and took my parents away leaving me behind. I was alone for a few days because everyone I knew had been taken, but then a woman I learned to be Mrs. Tripp came and took me to Brentwood Academy. While I was there, I met many other lemons. Some of the lemons names were Mufasa, It, and Sparkle. During my stay in Mrs. Tripp's classroom I learned a lot about grammar from just listening to her classes. There was plenty of candy to eat and many pillows to lie on. I was very comfortable in her classrom. Then, came the momemt when I met Reagan Heath, the guy who will be taking care of me for the next few days. He's a really great guy. I'm so excited that I'll be with him until I have to go! I just can't wait to meet the rest of his family! I really hope that they like me! I am looking for ward to learning new things, and I hope that Reagan will take me to all of his activities. We're going to get to know each other so well that we'll be best friends!

Hyphen Heath's Personal Life

Hey, it's me, Hyphen Heath, for the last time. Today, I'm going to tell you about my personal life. Okay, so I was hanging out with my sister ,Cara Beth Comma, and we saw Evan Exclamation do a first-class back-flip on his skateboard! Evan Exclamation is a fun-loving guy, but he barely gets time to have fun during the day, because of his full-time job. My sister and I are well-known people, because we're really popular. My sister is really active; commas are just all over the place! I'm a little more laid-back. My best friend is Demondrae Direct Object, but my sister's best friend is Bethany Bracket. I have good punctuation mark friends, but I try to avoid dashes, because they give me an identity crisis. My life as a hyphen is amazing. For example I just got a brand-new, fine-tuned, non-used guitar yesterday. Also, I go to a top-notch school for puncuation marks where they teach me much-needed rules. I also like to work part-time in all kinds of sentences and paragraphs. My life's dream is to be the world-champion of the punctuation games. The competition is tough, but I'm a world-class hyphen. I'm not a fame-seeking mark; I just want to be the best hyphen I can be. I guess I'm just a simple, straight-line kind of guy. I think other people find me thought-provoking and kind-hearted, even if I'm not world-renowned. Being a hyphen is great.

P.S. I am posting a picture of myself so you all will know what I look like.

Hyphen Heath's Lesson on hyphens

Hey, this Hyphen Heath again. I'm going to tell you about using me. Personally, I think the rules for hyphens are pretty self-explanatory, but I'm a hyphen, so I'll just give you a little heads-up. There are a lot of well-meaning people out there, but a lot of them are brain-dead when using hyphens. As a hyphen, I'm self-motivated to tell others about what I do. Also, I'm the best person to tell you, because, when it comes to hyphens, I'm mistake-free. Now, I'll tell you the rules for hyphens. Okay, you use a hyphen to divide a word when you run out of room at the end of a line. A top-notch writer would never ever use me to split a word in the middle of a syllable. Also, you use hyphens in all the numbers from twenty-two to ninety-nine, and fractions used as modifiers; for example, one-fourth of a cup. Use hyphens with prefixes and suffixes too. It is all-important. Finally, hyphenate a compound adjective when it precedes the noun it modifies unless one of the modifiers ends in - ly. Here's an example: a world-famous actor, or a fully formed sentence. Well, those are the much-needed rules that you should apply when using me. Also, remember we hyphens aren't used much, but when we are, we're a first-class mark. All-in-all, my job is easy, and I love it.

Hyphen Heath

Hi, I'm Hyphen Heath. As you can tell, I'm an all-important hyphen. I'm just a plain and simple hyphen. That's good, because I like things plain and simple. As a hyphen, I'm just a straight line. All I do for a living is connect two words, or I help a word continue on another line. I may not be world-famous; I may not get used twenty-two times a day, but I really hold things together. As you can see, because I'm a hyphen, I'm a connective person. Sometimes I'm depressed, because I don't get used as much as the other guys, but I' ve learned to be self-confident. Some hyphens are concerned about how little we get used, but I am worry-free. The other guys may get all the attention, but I don't have to work one-half as hard. I, presonally, as a hyphen, am a self-starter; I'm pro-active when it comes to hyphens. I'm not very demanding; I have everything I could want, except I wish I were used more. The thing is I'm very helpful when I can be. Yeah, I'm an all-around good guy, and I like being a hyphen.
