I made her the victim so the laughter would be taken away from her. Also, I wanted the reader to be able to relate to her. Paragraph 1- In the first version I talked about how Tina was unathletic and described how she was the girl version of Urkel. In the second version I took that whole line out and described how her glasses show off her intelligence because instead of making fun of her I was giving a compliment, so the reader could relate to her intelligence. I changed the description of her being "worthless" to a "hardworking athlete" because the second version shows she is a hard working kid and many can relate to that. Paragraph 2- I changed "jumping event" to "Hurdles" because it gives more respect and shows that you care about the event she does.

I changed the context of the "jersey being wet" because the first version is rude and people shouldn’t be sweating wearing white. I changed "think large glasses" to "glasses" because thick and large creates a funny description. I change "knocked over" to "fell over" because it makes it seem like it was an accident in the second version. I took out "actual athletes" because that makes it seem like Tina is worthless. The first version focused on everyone laughing at her and the second version focused on the pain Tina was going through. I took out "dying fish" because that creates an image of laughter. I changed Tina being the "most unathletic person in the school" to "people not having enough guts" because in the second version it portrays Tina as being a brave
While reading the short story, the author demonstrates that Pauline, the protagonist is having a hard time. At first, Anne Carter uses the main character to show us that her transformation helps her from reaching her dream. Also, the author employs contrasting characters to mention the current state of Pauline’s safety and ambition. At last, Laurel uses settings to show us that the protagonist is ready to sacrifice her safety to attain her dream. Finally, Anne’s point is aimed at everyone, not only people who have a difficult body condition, but also the people that desperately want to achieve their dream.

It was for them to each say half a goodbye to the glory, as Isabelle would want for it to keep coming back. The story ends with Tina and Giselle saying
The second body paragraph was exceptional, however, I think I could have done better on the transition. I didn’t just restate the story, but I explained what both Odysseus’ and Shrek’s home meant to them and why they

Throughout the novel, Tina uses her one of a kind sense of humor to lighten the mood. One example of this is when she’s talking about how girls in her days just accepted it if they weren’t drop-dead gorgeous. She then says how girls nowadays go above-and-beyond to try to become perfect. Tina then gives examples of what every girl is expected to look like according to American men “Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, [...] and the arms

Despite the book being well written, there are several parts that I would re-write; here I will describe two of them.
When the film started, bright and cheery Betty had just arrived in Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming a famous actress. She was optimistic, hopeful and almost certain that she would become a star. Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place for her...
Sally caught the ball. The long-haired, athletic Sally gathered up all her strength and stretched, like Stretch Arm Strong, to grab that ball right out of the sky above. Which one sounds better? Which one would you rather have in your paragraph? With some simple things to keep in mind, you too can write better. The book entitled, The Process of Writing: Composing through Critical Thinking, by Roberta Allen and Marcia Mascolini, taught you everything from thinking before you write to putting things together, all the way to how to prepare specific forms of essays. It's definitely something you should read before even thinking about another paper.
While brainstorming the process essay, I realized my weaknesses and planned better how to strengthen them. I knew simple grammatical errors and transitions were two of the most important ones I needed to correct. So while thinking of my topics to include in my essay, I thought of how each of them connected. In what ways can I draw connections between the three of these topics? Through asking myself this question, I transitioned from the paragraph of agency background to volunteer work with a more satisfying flow (“The Civic Responsibility” 2). While it took me longer to draft this essay, it ended up being worth it in the long run. I felt more accomplished of this paper and when I received feedback that required me to change minimal things; I knew it was worth
“No, Dani!” I couldn’t believe myself, I was talking to her as if she were a dog. “You are a ‘re-tard’,” I still didn’t really knew what that meant, but using the word made me feel older. “I’m not playing with you anymore.” I tried to look like my mother when she refused to buy me more candy. Dani studied my face for a moment. “Go away!” I exclaimed. That did it. Dani cried, and I felt cold tears sliding down my cheeks too. She scurried away until I couldn’t see her anymore. The big kids were practically choking on their saliva, laughing so hard.
At last we had brought all our practicing skills into work at the final stages. After working hard for three solid months it all paid off, the competing mat was beneath our feet. It was as if I could almost hear the girl?s hearts thumping before we walked onto the mat. I couldn?t stop smiling, I had the biggest grin on my face as if I were the cat who just ate the canary. Only when I thought that was enough, my facial expressions were amazing, all the nights I spent in front of the mirror or watching my self through the reflection of the glass door in my kitchen. It?s hard to go first because watching all the other teams compete makes you think, how did I do?
