Answer:

he paragraph I'm choosing is this one (the words in bold are colloquial words):

"Well, thish-yer Smiley had rat-ta.rriers, and chicken co.cks, and tom- cats, and all of them kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He ketp.hed a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'k.lated to ed.ercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little pun.ch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

"Rewritten form of those bolded words only:

"Well, this here Smiley had rat tarriers, and chicken co-cks, and tomcats, and all of the kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He caught a frog one day, and took him home, and said he calculated to eradicate him, and so he never done anything for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

2. Both Witness to the Tragedy" and "Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing' provide first person
Snowcat [4.5K]

Both "Witness to the Tragedy" and "Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing" portray the scenario that took place in cities affected by the violence of Hurricane Catrina. However, in "Witness to the Tragedy" we are presented with a more personal account. The article written in first person shows the destruction and sadness of families to survive during the violent flood that was established in the region. First-person language makes the story personal and exciting.

"Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing", however, reports the search for people who were not rescued at the time of the tragedy, have been lost to their families and are being sought, alive or dead. Although this article has a less personal and emotional tone than the first, the article uses a first-person language that manages to bring the reader closer to the author and provide a strong empathy for the exposed theme.
