When connecting related but independent clauses of a sentence

Semicolons are correctly and effectively used when connecting related but independent clauses of a sentence.

The semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark that separates major sentence elements. A semicolon can be used between two closely related independent clauses, provided they are not already connected by a coordinating conjunction.

The semi colon is employed to connect similar ideas that are independently placed in sentences. If you join the ideas with a semi colon, you don't have to use conjunctions.

Vanessa stared, in utter shock of buildings falling from the current war going on in her town, glancing outside and tapping her nails in some rhythm. 

Inspecting her people, she picked up the pistol ready to defend herself.

''Neill? where are you?'' Vanessa asked, looking for her little sister, concern found in her tone.
''You know, you shouldn't leave children alone in a sudden purge..'' grinning winningly the man did, he noted that she cared for the little girl.
''Don't even touch her.'' The Vanessa kept herself calm from shooting the man right on the side of his chest, wanting to kill him painfully and slowly.
''Don't you know how much people hate change? but this change seems quite nice in my view..'' He responded to her, not minding her little threat.



''You know my people.'' He showed a group of men near the corners, shadows lighten their faces as she glared at them, looking at their body movements to see if they had any weapons on.

''What do you want?!'' She hissed at him, feeling threatened by the sudden group.

''You know exactly what we need, sweetie.'' He smirked wickedly.
