Definition: Apostrophe translates to "to take away" or "to remove." It's a phrase used in literature, music, and speech to indicate a shift in meaning from one thing to something else, often within a single sentence. Example: In the book of Job, when God reveals his plans for a person's future, the narrator says, "Job is going to be possessed by an angel of death." The apostrophe marks a change in meaning as the speaker takes away Job's understanding and perspective from his own life journey.
