Pathetic Fallacy, Mental Landscapes, Semi-colons

Excellent

Spelling/punctuation errors throughout. Pathetic Fallacy PowerPoint is rather vague with few examples to use in lesson.

I agree with the previous comment. The semi - colon should be used separate clauses of equal weight. In your example, your clauses are not of equal weight because one is a subordinate clause and one is a main clause - therefore the subordinate clause depends on the main clause.

I am not an English specialist but shouldn't the semi-colon separate two clauses (if this is the correct term - perhaps I mean phrases) that can stand on their own as sentences? In the example on the ppt this is not the case. Please advise as I thought I had got the hang of the semi-colon!
