They make your writing more interesting. Think.

OR
~Uncle Iroh is very kind, and he makes sure to take care of Zuko. Although he is silly, he teaches very important lessons, too. He makes sure Zuko knows it is important to be patient and compassionate.

For example...
Ms. Zoeller likes the Flyers and the Stars, but her friend likes the Flames.
Our FANBOYS word here is the B - but.
If I take the "but" out, it says, "Ms. Zoeller likes the Flyers and the Stars. Her friend likes the Flames."
Both of those make sense alone!! So when we joined them with a comma and "but," we know it's a compound sentence.
