PLEASE HELP ASAP 14. Read the following passage, and create the topic sentence of a paragraph that characterizes
Melinda.
I watch myself in the mirror across the room. Ugh. My hair is completely hidden under the
comforter. I look for the shapes in my face. Could I put a face in my tree, like a dryad from Greek
mythology? Two muddy-circle eyes under black-dash eyebrows, piggy-nose nostrils, and a
chewed-up horror of a mouth. Definitely not a dryad face. I can't stop biting my lips. It looks like
my mouth belongs to someone else, someone I don't even know.
*dryad-a nymph inhabiting a forest or a tree, especially an oak tree. *

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.

you're welcome ; p
