Balance Sentence Structure

Is a sentence made up of two parts that are equal in length, importance,

and grammatical structure. They are either separated by from each other by
semicolon or connecting words.

Examples:
On days when warmth is the most important need of the human heart,
the kitchen is the place you can find it; it dries the wet socks, it cools the
hot little brain.

Every man has the right to say what he thinks is true , and every other
man has the right to knock him down for it.

“Buy a bucket of chicken and have a barrel of fun.”

It was a very sad time in my life, living alone looking for work, dreaming
of home.

In most cases, this type of sentence is particularly useful as a means of

making contrast effective.

Examples:

Assertion recommends that I speak; humility demands that i remain

silent.

Familiarity breeds contempt, but respect begets respect.
