+COP 604: Use a semi-colon to indicate a relationship between two closely related independent clauses.

“At a comma, stop a little… At a semicolon, somewhat more.”

- Richard Hodges, The English Primrose, 1644

+Independent Clause Refresher:

What is an independent clause?

Example 1)

Example 2)

+Semicolons

A semicolon is most commonly used to link two independent clauses that are closely related in thought.

When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal rank (they are of equal importance in the sentence).

Example) Some students like to type their first draft at home; others prefer to handwrite a draft in class.

+Semicolon Non-Examples Amir and Baba immigrate to the United

States; Amir won the kite tournament in Kabul when he was a boy.

Before they moved to the United States; Baba and Amir left Kabul and secretly crossed the border into Pakistan.

+The Kite Runner Chapter 11, pg. 128

But I didn’t tell them. I thanked Mr. Nguyen for not calling the cops. I took Baba home. He sulked and smoked on the balcony while I made rice with chicken neck stew. It had been a year and a half since we’d stepped off the Boeing from Peshawar, and Baba was still adjusting. (Hosseini, pg. 128)

Semicolons Exercise In the following excerpt from The Kite Runner, revise the

passage to include at least two semicolons. Remember: semicolons connect two closely related

independent clauses. Semicolons provide a little more of a pause.

+Why use semicolons? There are many ways you can combine and

separate ideas in sentences.

There is not just one correct way. (Some ways are incorrect, but there is more than one correct way!)

+REL 503: Identify clear relationships between characters, ideas, and so on in more challenging literary narratives.
