Sentence 9

His sentence:

When there was work for a man, the men fought for it- fought with a low wage.
by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath

This complex sentence uses a dash to catch the attention of the reader to draw attention to the fact that the men were not fighting each other but fighting against a descending wage.

My sentence:

When there was candy for a child, the children fought for it- fought with a unfair distributor.
