Did I use this semi-colon correctly? If not what is a good alternative since its already a fairly wordy sentence? Only real answ

ers please, I don't need suggestions to websites or apps that help with this. Anyways, here is the text:
"Whether that be Jack London illustrating the complete indifference that Nature views our lives with or Kate Chopin giving her audience a glance into the oppressive nature of many relationships at that time; These pieces of literature have given our society the outside perspective that many of us need."

Answer:

Hey I get why ya doubted yourself but the semi colon works.

Explanation:

Let me explain:

So with the two sentences you have if you had used a period the sentences wouldn't have connected as well. And since the first sentence connects to the second by trying to explain how the literature has changed perspective for society it just flows better.

I mean in my opinion the semi colon just works better than a period or comma. It allows a breath to read the second sentence but indicates that the second sentence is what makes the first sentence work.

Thesis #1: One of the main themes in the first two chapters of The Call of the Wild is that men are just as greedy, violent and competitive as dogs when put in harsh circumstances.

The Call of the Wild is a story of transformation in which the old Buck—the civilized, moral Buck—must adjust to the harsher realities of life in the frosty North, where survival is the only imperative. Kill or be killed is the only morality among the dogs of the Klondike, as Buck realizes from the moment he steps off the boat and watches the violent death of his friend Curly. The wilderness is a cruel, uncaring world, where only the strong prosper. It is, one might say, a perfect Darwinian world, and London’s depiction of it owes much to Charles Darwin, who proposed the theory of evolution to explain the development of life on Earth and envisioned a natural world defined by fierce competition for scarce resources. The term often used to describe Darwin’s theory, although he did not coin it, is “the survival of the fittest,” a phrase that describes Buck’s experience perfectly. In the old, warmer world, he might have sacrificed his life out of moral considerations; now, however, he abandons any such considerations in order to survive. Buck is a savage creature, in a sense, and hardly a moral one, but London, like Nietzsche, expects us to applaud this ferocity. His novel suggests that there is no higher destiny for man or beast than to struggle, and win, in the battle for mastery.
