Answer: These are just some simple adjustments I would do. Anything I add or want to say will be in bold or italics, tell me if I get some of them wrong.
I really really really hope this helps :))))
Explanation:
Dr. Peck states “problems call forth our courage and wisdom.” Our pain gets in the way of solving our problems. Dr. Peck is speaking the truth, without a doubt. We stall and and hope our problems will go away. Suppose I need to finish my math homework. I don't understand it, so instead I act as if it’s non-existent. Dr. Peck also states “...attempt to avoid problems.” <em>(btw, that is how you quote part of a sentence, you did it right)</em> Instead we must solve them and meet them head on.
Personally, I feel this work is not to avoid our problems, but to meet them head on with determination and courage. Many people should read this book because it helps with procrastinating.
After we discover and transcend that life is difficult, we can break free of our old habits. Our old habits wear us down like plaque on our teeth.
The work of this excerpt was, indeed, factual. It provided me with a toothbrush to brush the plaque off my teeth. A key to life was handed to me. The data facts and statistics add up fluently so that we can see it in plain sight. <em>(try to sum it up without using too many fillers, like the "key to life was handed to me". It makes you seem like you're stalling.)</em>
1. the "feeling" or emotional aura that pervades a story or a poem - atmosphere
The atmosphere is the air you breathe, the invisible stuff that surrounds. An atmosphere of a story or poem helps to communicate the theme or author's attitude towards the subject.
2. a critical moment in a story at which the protagonist is forced to take decisive action - Crisis
Critical = crisis. They are from the root word crit which means to separate or choose. During a crisis, the protagonist is forced to make a difficult choice. This usually results in some type of internal conflict for the protagonist, creates a learning experience which makes the character dynamic, and often is the climax of the story.
3. the time and place in which the story occurs - setting
The setting is where the story is set. Time and place. Sometimes it helps to think of a movie set. On a movie set, the director is creating the specific place and time in which the story takes place.
