Is there any grammar issue?

You could say that this passage has grammar issues. For instance, in the first sentence "whatever they have to say about her, but they were very, very upset (...)", you could say that there is no reference for the personal pronoun they and the focus is changed because later on the personal pronoun "I" is used (" I was really surprised to see (...)"). So, is the speaker talking about them (whoever them refers to) or about himself? The fact is that this piece of text looks like an internal monologue.

Generally, in internal monologues, the ideas are presented as they pop up in the speaker's mind. They are not reordered for them to fit into the academically accepted style, that is, for them to be grammatically correct. In a way, the reader finds himself lost in the speaker's train of thought. This style is similar to the oral style. An example of this is J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.

As regards the structure of the text, it seems like a monologue. It should be more concise and straight to the point. There is also a lot of repetition of words, which make it more confusing for the reader. I might be a good idea to clarify concepts and to add some stops for the reader to follow it soothly.

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.

Rom4ik [11]

The following is the best summary of this passage: "Brutus asks if he has offended anyone, and they say no. He then asserts that he has not done anything to Caesar that the people would not do to him, and that Caesar’s triumphs have not been downplayed, nor have his crimes been exaggerated. As Antony enters with Caesar’s body, Brutus says that Antony had no part in killing Caesar, but will benefit from his death, just as all the people will. Finally, he says that he killed his best friend for the good of Rome, and he expects the people to do the same to him if Rome will benefit."

What makes it a good summary is that it brings out the main ideas of the text and restates them shortly and cleary:

Brutus has indeed not gone against the will of the people by murdering Caesar: "none have I offended;"
Brutus acknowledges the fact that he removed a ruler for the people and that he expects the same people to remove him as well if they deem it beneficial: "I have done no more to Caesar than you shall do to Brutus" and "I have the same dagger for myself, when it shall please my country to need my death;"
Brutus wants to be fair by alluding to both Caesar's exploits and his failures: "his glory not extenuated, ... nor his offences enforced;"
he also said that Antony was not guilty of Caesar's murder but that it is still advantageous for him: "though he had no hand in his death, shall receive the benefit of his dying;"
finally, Brutus believes that his deed was a sacrifice in the interest of Rome: "I slew my best lover for the good of Rome."

Read each sentence and select the word after which a colon should be placed.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

I believe the colons should be placed as follows:

1. One thought kept crossing Jen's mind as Friday approached:
2. included the following: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
3. cultures:

on the first sentence you are separating her thought from the statement
on the second, you are separating a list from the statement
on the third, you are separating the two different types of cultures from the statement.

I really hope these are correct for you :) good luck!
