When Wes accidentally caused his sister's lip to bleed on page 89, his mother slapped him on the face and made the decision to s
Inga [223]

Answer and Explanation:

The interaction between Wes and his mother makes it difficult to say who was right. Although, I do not believe that using violence as punishment and imposing wills on children is the right way to be a mother, I cannot help denying that Wes's mother did him a good by sending him to military school, as he spared Wes the inhospitable environment where he lived and allowed the military school to change his personality for the better, but I think that her position in imposing this change of school should have been better explored. I believe she should have talked to Wes and exposed her opinion about him going to military school and listening to what he has to say about it and the behavior he is assuming.

Read the incorrect sentence. Write three to five sentences explaining what kind of run-on sentence it is and how to revise it. M
shepuryov [24]
One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'

It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.

That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.

Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.

This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.

If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....

My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.

Like this;

My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.

Hope this helped!
