3. Differences between commas and semicolons:
 * Semicolons signify a longer pause than a comma, commas are just a slight pause.
 * Semicolons have a dramatic effect, commas emphasize words relationships ton one another.
 * Commas can separate 3 or more words in a series, semicolons usually just separate two clauses in a sentence.

Comma sentences: Commas were used to separate the four objects in the sentence so the sentence makes sense.
 * Before I went to the game, I got my ticket, jacket, wallet, and keys.

I used a comma to introduce a slight pause in the sentence.
 * I wanted to go to the concert, but I had to do Shinglers' homework instead.

Semicolon sentence: I used a semicolon to give a more dramatic pause in the sentence.
 * I found out why my boss was arrested; he had committed fraud.
