Why are dashes used in a paragraph?
Hi,
Could you tell me why the dashes are used in a paragraph.
For example:
But if you´re looking for atmosphere -
the New York of artist, actors and writers -
this is the place.
Or
The Habitat Hotel
Built in 1999, offers inexpensive - but
small - rooms with style. Near shopping.
