(between two clauses joined by semicolon): A Clockwork Orange is a thought-provoking film; however, it digressed from the novel too much. “however” here starts a new clause following the semicolon. 2. (between two separate sentences) A Clockwork Orange is an intriguing book. I feel, however, the film is even better. (Note the use of two commas because the transitional interrupts a sentence.) 3.(between two paragraphs) Burgess’ novel was way ahead of its time. ← (consider this the end of a paragraph) ¶ Furthermore, Kubrick’s depiction of a future culture saturated with sexual images was prescient. “Furthermore” starts a new sentence or new paragraph. ¶ shows where a new paragraph starts. You do not actually draw the symbol in! |
