composing AMerica

After reading this some things i had already new about the government but many things i didn't know and where in what way interesting. I didn't know that the declaration of independence
at the National Archives in Washington D.C. weren't the original copy. In fact its the third copy. Also when reading in composing America i didn't know there where certain styles of writing. Two main styles are Typography and calligraphy. When reading about the two certain styles of writing it seems that Typography standards of writing is more upscale than calligraphy. When going deeper into reading , it easily states the case that writing today has progressed much more than it was back in the day. Nouns and punctuations were used differently. Like for example it says that Jefferson only capitalized and in the beginning of paragraphs and in the names of nations or people. he didn't capitalize after every sentence as we would today. I see how writing changed drastically and also the concept of writing. this was reading was very informal and educational.
