Answer:
A semi colon is used to link 2 related clauses, before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase connecting 2 clauses, and separating items on a list that also contains commas
Explanation:
A semi colon ";" is a punctuation mark with 3 functions; it is used:
- <u>To link 2 complete and independent clauses that are related.</u> Example: Kate loves attending ballet class; when she dances, she feels like a butterfly.
- <u>Before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase that is connecting two complete and independent clauses.</u> Example: Susan has never enjoyed playing sports; nevertheless, she never misses an NFL game on TV.
- To separate items in a list that also contains commas. Example: Children usually like eating ice cream with different topping combinations such as: caramel, nuts and chocolate chips; strawberries, marshmallows and pecans; and coconut, brownie bites and whipped cream.
When reading, semicolons indicate a pause moderately longer than that of a comma, but shorter than that of a period.
So you need something like this, I am going to try to give a format and you can fill in the blanks:
What makes the American Dream so real in the eyes of Americans everwhere? What is the desired goal of each and every USA citizen who believes in this idealistic goal? In (insert author name) Great Gatsby, the author portrays his ides of the American dream through (insert characters or plot of story here). The story is about (give a one sentence explanation of the story, be sure their are no run on sentences.) (Add here what you think the story's conflict is in one or two sentences.) While the Author of the book gibes a clear understanding of the American dream, I (here you add your own take on what you believe the American dream. Make sure you add the fact of wether you support the authors take on the American dream or not!)
Your ending sentence should be something that hooks your audience into hour first paragraph, and done! Depending on why type of essay your writing, you may want to tweak some of the sentences around, but that is pretty much it!
Answer:
Honest and direct.
Explanation:
Severn Suzuki's tone in her introduction from "The girl who silenced the world for five minutes" is honest and direct because she explains who she is and who she came with, she tells those 'adults' that she raised money to travel and to stand there and talk to them because she believes she has to fight for her future. She tells them that they have to change their ways. She's direct to them, she causes an impact with her words.
