Yes, I called myself a genius.

Dang! It feels nice to feel good! *hugs*

Aww! I hate when stuff like that happens! Are you able to get it all out now?

No, lol. I'm so scatterbrained today. It's gonna be a miracle to get this assignment done.

Focus! Argh!

You can do it! Focus focus focus! =D I'm rooting for you!

Okay! This is it! Help me make it better?

The idea of static; a sudden pop and it’s gone but then it’s back, over and over its back and it does this repeatedly. Always. The idea of stagnation; a pond overgrown with algae. So many questions about what lies underneath. Even more questions about what’s next. The article we’ve just read would like to explain and clarify some things in regard to Milton and his style of writing. Many would claim him to be a static and stagnant writer. However, after reading the article one can walk away grasping a more intricate look at the man and his works.
Much strategy is employed by Milton. Be it choice of words, choice of style or, choice of topic. He also, with a certain sense of regularity, employs the action of non-action. In this choice he creates a sort of dilemma for his readers. What happens next? When will it happen? Who will make it happen? We want answers and we want them in as clear and precise a manner as possible. Milton seldom grants his readers this wish. Instead he leaves traces and hides morsels around every corner. He entices you to continue and to keep digging and if you do you will find what it is that he’s hidden, very cleverly for you. That which could only be his treasure, a valuable and ultimately inexplicable journey through his mind. You embark on the journey with preconceptions which he very nearly never grants but upon arrival; you find that the journey has taught you something and that the hills and valleys were there for a reason other than sheer annoyance or worse yet; lack of humility.

Remember, it shouldn't sound like there's an opinion here, just stating what the article is about.

I like it! In the first paragraph, it should be "...of static; a sudden pop and it’s gone but then it’s back, over and over it's back and it does this repeatedly." In the second paragraph, I would combine the two sentences: "Much strategy is employed by Milton." and "Be it choice of words, choice of style or, choice of topic."

Other than that, I think you've got it dead-on.

Oh my! Like I got my comma's and semicolons all right?!

This one part is bothering me. The second sentence..it needs to start better.

He entices you to continue and to keep digging and if you do you will find what it is that he’s hidden, very cleverly for you. That which could only be his treasure, a valuable and ultimately inexplicable journey through his mind.

It almost seems like it could be a massive run on sentence. I don't know. Maybe it should be A treasure instead of That which could only be his yadda yadda..nah

here!

He entices you to continue and to keep digging and if you do you will find what it is that he’s very cleverly, hidden for you. His treasure, a valuable and ultimately inexplicable journey through his mind.

edit.

He entices you to continue and to keep digging because if you do you will find what it is that he’s very cleverly, hidden for you. His treasure, a valuable and ultimately inexplicable journey through his mind.

lol

Oh! It's good. That second part, although it sounds fine in our everyday language and I know how you want the infelction on it, for an MLA paper it's still a fragment of a sentence. I would but a dash where the period is so it reads: "He entices you to continue and to keep digging and if you do you will find what it is that he’s very cleverly, hidden for you - his treasure, a valuable and ultimately inexplicable journey through his mind." That way, for the sake of MLA, it's grammatically correct. =) It's sounding wonderful though! You're gonna rock this.

Thank you. <3 I wuv you.

I really do. I'm always thankful for you being there. <3

<333 I'm glad to help and to be here for you. It's the least I can do for you being there for me all the time. <3

You're just special to me. :)

Alright! Now to figure out the citation part of this jibber jabber.

Ewww. Lol. I really do hate MLA. Ugh. It's so obnoxious.

I agree! All the technical stuff..blargh.
