    PUNCTUATION

    The Moral Logic of Survivor Guilt


    Nancy Sherman

    Effective writers use varied punctuation to clarify connections among ideas,


    including colons, semicolons, and dashes.

    : Use a colon to introduce a list, an example, a quotation, or a sentence


    that summarizes or explains the sentence before it.
    ; Use a semicolon to join closely related complete sentences or to separate items
    in a series that already contain several commas.
    — Use dashes to indicate an abrupt change of thought or a dramatic interruption,
    set off a summary statement at the end of a sentence, or set off a nonessential
    appositive.

    A. DIRECTIONS: Rewrite the following items using the punctuation indicated.


    1. There’s nothing logical about survivor guilt. It is a powerful emotion
    nonetheless. (semicolon)       
         
    2. Captain Prior felt responsible. “I deal with the guilt of having cost him his
    life.” (colon)       
         
    3. The captain had difficulty accepting the situation. He felt he should have been
    there for Specialist Pulaski. (semicolon)       
         
    4. Soldiers feel guilty, even when what happened was not their fault. (dash)
         

    B. DIRECTIONS: Write a paragraph responding to “The Moral Logic of Survivor


    Guilt.” Use a semicolon, a colon, and one or two dashes in your paragraph.
