Hamid mian,
As a matter of fact, none really cares about your comment.
That being said, if you have indeed read victor hugo, you'd have noticed, that is if you read it with open eyes, that the guy has a knack for long sentences - abnormally long at certain instances, like the ones intentionally included in this write-up.
It'd also be a high-time you started speaking something other than the 10th-grader's criticisms who love telling others teacher won't like their stuff. Seriously, let's grow up a little. :D

Re: # 2

salman mian,

.... i have read victor hugo and you ain't no victor hugo ..... many many moons ago ms flannagan, my tenth grade english teacher, used to make write one sentence paragraphs with proper punctuation ..... god bless her soul, it was the silliest thing she made us do ........ if the content doesn't make any sense because it is overwhelmed by the punctuation, who gives a flip about the style ....... rewrite this thing and resubmit it to your english teacher if you want to pass this class ......... this is the worst thing i have read since khalid poser was run off the chowk .... you don't want to suffer the same fate, do you?

And for the reason of this long-sentenced style, I like to call it Victor-Hugo prose - you'd certainly understand that if you've read good authors like him at all. Oh and I can only pity you for having bore the labor of reading it to the conclusion because it was meant to be the way it was written and those who love pretending any good, the likes of you that is, would've better left it to itself. ;)

aalman mian,

.... do you realize that the first two paragraphs were one looooooooooong sentence each? ...... of course you do! ...... that was part of the assignment by your tenth grade english teacher, wasn't it? .......... i hope you got a c, because that is what you deserve for writing such a pretentious and laborious piece of .........!!!
