The sentence showed the part of the story where Marilyn is making letters for her family. She wants her brother to remember only the positive side of her. This is a paraphrase of the sentence. "She paused from time to time to think carefully on what words to say for her family, then she continued to write her letters."
Yep, that's basically the whole task. To change the passage to become more 'upbeat', yet still share similar words to the previous words, the following could be changed to...
trudged= plodded
shuffled= staggered
scrutinised= questioned
sparse=meagre
closed in= confined
anxious= eager (Although eager and anxious generally do not share a similar definition, in this context they do as 'anxious' is used to describe being excited to do something, and share the same meaning of 'Very eager or concerned to do something or for something to happen'
pried= wrenched
confronted= suddenly exposed
puzzling=baffling
something=remarkable
used=castoff
questioned=pondered
anxious=uneasy
