The Quote: The seven years’ difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm: I wondered if these years would ever operate between us as a bridge.
— James Baldwin, “Sonny’s Blues”

Analyze:
1. What function does the colon serve in this sentence?

2. How would the meaning and impact of the sentence change if the sentence read as follows:
The seven years’ difference in our ages lay between us like a chasm, and I wondered if these years would ever operate between us as a bridge.

Apply:
Write two independent clauses; join the two with a colon, giving emphasis to the independent clause which follows the colon. Use Baldwin’s sentence as a model.
