Change #1: a
period after family, and then begin a new sentence with the dependent adverbial
clause:
Second only to his happiness
at home,...
This is used because the writers first choice sentence was an unclear run
on sentence.
Change #2: A comma only before ,yet, and not one after because a comma goes before a coordinating conjunction when hoing two complete sentences.
Change #3: Putting a colon after such as:, then combined the two historical events into one sentence, and finally just fixed a spelling error: Portalnd. Using a colon will illustrate the renaming of the events and combining the sentence after the colon emphasizes these important events, as well.
Change #4: The last sentence in the Inspirational portion was changed because of its length and mistakes in its use of punctuation. For example, the use of commas. As a result, I created two whole sentences from her incorrect combination of independent and dependent clauses. In addition, I opened another sentence up with a prepositional introductory subordinate clause to put more emphasis on this information and to avoid a run on sentence.
Change #5: Qualifications is replaced with qualities because qualifications for what? I do not think that this is the correct word usage. The word qualities would be a more appropriate word because the next sentence begins to describe his personal characteristics or qualities, however not really his qualifications.
Change #6: Deleted the and before and prompt,...because the word and is not necessary and is repetitive considering the next description is the very last and also is introduced with and: and every task...
Change #7: A comma is
placed after the introductory prepositional subordinate clause: At
the same time,
Change #8: Replacing a colon for a comma in on its own life: charged with meaning... Using a colon will rename own life in a more dramatic fashion because that is the sole purpose of the colon-to rename.
Change #9: Change 'choosey' to "choosey" because that is the proper punctuation for quoting someone's work in a paper. I believe that this was just a careless typing error.
Change #10: Putting a comma before the subordinating conjunction ,yet to introduce the following dependent clause.
