Why is there no Punctuation?

Kloverfield Log: February, 19,2011
Regarding the book, The Sound and The Fury, pages 184-222

I just read two long sections where there was no punctuation to be found, except for an occasional period in an abbreviation or an apostrophe.  One section had some form to it, keeping the customary, you speak, enter, i speak enter, you do something speak enter, i respond enter.  That bit wasn't hard for me to follow since I knew it was a flashback.  The second piece was all of Quentin's thoughts circling roundabout making it all very difficult to decipher.
In between these sections is a bit where Quentin and Shreve, a friend from Harvard, are nursing Quentin's black eye.  It took me a while to figure out what had happened.  During the previous flashback, which consisted of Quentin talking to Caddy among other things, he fought a guy on a bridge, except I didn't catch the cause. It just sort of happened.  Then it returns and while Quentin was fighting this man in the flashback, he had punched Gerald, also from Harvard, during a picnic.  Earlier in Quentin's narrative, he mentions how your body can do things although you don't want it too, which seemed to happen when Quentin was (or we were, doesn't matter) distracted with a flashback.  He started a fight, which was triggered by his flashback.
Quentin pays attention to smell, like Benjy, but not as much.  He notices honeysuckle everytime he remembers Caddy. Then, he says that "honeysuckle was the saddest odour of all." His feelings towards Caddy are more sad and melancholy. In that flashback, he keeps asking Caddy if she loves someone and then he holds a knife to her neck, saying that he will be fast and then do his own.  It never happened though.  He drops the knife.
The last word Caddy says before the flashback is over is the name Dalton Ames.  Quentin has repeated the name over and over in this section.  I have theories of what is going on, but none of them are certainly what is going on concerning Caddy.
Off to the third leg of the journey.  Back to the Future! April 6th 1928
