His sentence: When we die, if we have lived good lives, our spirits float free of the earth, cross the stars and galaxies, and come at last to a world at the other side of the universe-Paradise.
From The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan
This is a cumulative sentence, because it uses many parallel phrases, to build up to the ultimate end, Paradise. The dash before the word "Paradise" is used to make the word stand out.
My sentence: We got up early that morning, drove out of the town, continued for hours, and finally reached our beautiful destination-Florida.
