Jun 6, 2018 at 5:37 comment added Andrew The semicolon is used to join two otherwise complete sentences. In many cases you can replace the semicolon with a dash, for dramatic emphasis. Still, this is far from a rule, so the use of the semicolon in the second sentence is somewhat odd, but acceptable.
