'Unexpected symbol' error using monodevelop

C#

Greetings! I'm taking a course that teaches Unity game development in addition to C# programming skill basics and I'm up to the part where I'm supposed to make my own text adventure, free-form. To do so, I'm copying the basic structure from the previous, video-assisted one. And yet, I'm finding some odd errors that I can not explain.

Here is the script so far :

using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; using System.Collections;

public class Game : MonoBehaviour {

 public Text text;
 
 private enum states {start, light, cave, path1, egg, TH, ocean, bEnd1, summer, basement, weed, upstairs, devil, awake, bEnd2, computer, bEnd3, GOLDEN}
 private states myState;
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     myState = states.start;
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     print (myState);
     if (myState == states.start) {
         start(); }
     else if (myState == states.light) {
         light(); }
     else if (myState == states.cave) {
         cave(); }
     else if (myState == states.path1) {
         path1(); }
     else if (myState == states.egg) {
         egg(); }
     else if (myState == states.TH) {
         TH(); }
     else if (myState == states.ocean) {
         ocean(); }
     else if (myState == states.bEnd1) {
         bEnd1(); }
     else if (myState == states.summer) {
         summer(); }
     else if (myState == states.basement) {
         basement(); }
     else if (myState == states.weed) {
         weed(); }
     else if (myState == states.upstairs) {
         upstairs(); }
     else if (myState == states.devil) {
         devil(); }
     else if (myState == states.awake) {
         awake(); }
     else if (myState == states.bEnd2) {
         bEnd2(); }
     else if (myState == states.computer) { 
         computer(); }
     else if (myState == states.bEnd3) {
         bEnd3(); }
     else if (myState == states.GOLDEN) {
         GOLDEN(); }
 }
}

 void start () {
 text.text = "This is like a bad dream. You don't know how you got here, where this place is, or why you got here, but you know that you feel uneasy. " +
             "Something is very wrong with all of this. You should try and look for a way out of...wherever this is! \n \n  " +
             "You could go and see about that [L]ight in the distance, investigate the sound coming from a nearby [C]ave, or head down the nearby [P]ath..." ;
 if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.L)) {myState = states.light;}
 else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C))    {myState = states.cave;}
 else if (Input.GetKeyDown((KeyCode.P))    {myState = states.path1;}
 }

My problem : Unity seems to not like the final possible { character (pre-final line) and says it's an unexpected symbol. Similarly, the void in that bit of code is also unexpected. However, if I remove the ; after the text portion of that same block, it will instead have a problem with the "if" statement of that same block. As far as I can see, I'm copying the necessary entries and code perfectly, so this is quite puzzling.

I was wondering if it was because my game initial state is called start with a non-capital S whereas a function with a capital S exists, but possibly not? It never seemed to mind start, itself.

Other info : Unity V 4.6.9.f1 (As instructed by my course for simple, small projects)

Thank you.

Edit : Hello and thank you for your quick and helpful answer,

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter !

I'm not sure I understand your response in terms of what I should do, but adding another ( to it and the preceding line just shifts the Unexpected Symbol problem to the { character at the end of the same statement.

Apologies

What I have tried:

Consulting prior, working script, posting on official Unity forums (Did not even come off Moderation for nearly 3 days at this point), analyzing code.
