Are all the sentences of the same length? Obviously, not. The speech contains long sentences (But in your ... over the red man), short ones ( Where is the thicket?) and even fragments (Gone). Why do writers vary the length of the sentences? Again, why do they use different types of structures (sometimes statements, questions, exclamations, fragments, etc.)?

Sentence length can influence the mood of the piece. If you’re concerned that your writing is either too choppy or too flowery, review it with an eye on the sentence length.

Do you heavily favour short, simple sentences, or does the piece contain too many

paragraph-long sentences? To make your texts more interesting, you should use sentences of varying lengths with a variety of structures.

Dogs are our great companions, aren’t they? Any idea when the friendship between man and dogs began? Maybe, thousands of years back. Who knows! What is important is that they are man’s best friends for obvious reasons. Dogs, as such, need to be walked. Walks keep their owners healthy; and the owners can talk to their dogs. They never tell secrets. Dogs don’t care what their owners observe while walking or what they watch on TV. As long as dogs are taken care of, they are happy.
