Default Re: Here is the story you asked about, RonBee.

Hm. There are some interesting problems here. Let's begin. :)

Unfortunately, it is not clear what the connection is between going to the library and being late.

You need to make that a sentence. Perhaps:
  • Latifa was a thin, tall, nineteen-year-old girl.

That first sentence doesn't quite make it. Perhaps:
  • Latifah is studying English at the university. Her major is English Literature.

You need to decide that tense you want the narrative to be in--past or present? If it's past tense, say:
  • They had been together since the beginning of their studies as English majors.
If it's present tense, say:
  • They have been together since the beginning of their studies as English majors.

It will take me a while to finish.
