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. "

Answer:

I would say no.

Explanation:

There are multiple grammatical errors in this essay and overall it just needs some refinement. The sentences are a little short and there is no evidence to support the claim.

Good luck! Hope this helps!

Can someone help me write a story with this prompt: (short story!)
tester [92]

Answer:

As I was walking home from school one day, I saw a lady bug. It was one of those red one's. The more typical color you would see here. I continued walking leaving the lady bug on the sidewalk. When I arrived home I opened the door to the smell of a very well cooked dinner. I walked into the kitchen throwing my backpack into the living room. "How was your day?" I heard my mom say over the stove's crackling noise's. "it was good I guess.." I said with a mix of sadness in my voice. "AW, does baby need a tissue?" My big brother yelled exaggeratingly from the kitchen table. I persuaded myself to ignore him, I walked into the living room to get out my homework. I analyzed it and let out a big *sigh*. I had to paraphrase someone else's words into a paragraph.

(that's not short.. is it?) (Also I didn't use negotiate)
