After
     The diction in my letter is based upon donkey, perhaps, and feel through which I express that I am not doing well in Mrs. Wright's class.

• In this on sentence I have managed to preform three basic rules the first of which is a common coma error. Then I used the wrong form of well what i wrote was will not well. The last thing that is wrong with this is that the sentence is unclear as to what this is pertaining to.

After
     Tone is sarcastic, which reflects sarcasm used in almost every paragraph to emphasize or down play an important situation. This is demonstrated when I say "What good is a pencil if you don't have anything to write on?" gives an example at an attempt at sarcasm because it asks a very obvious question.

Before
9. Either way it shows a lack of commitment toads my class work.
After
    Either way it shows a lack of commitment towards my class work.

• According to Rules for Writers by Diana Hacker I have confused the meaning of one word the that of another I wrote toads (animal) instead of towards.

After reading Diana Hacker's Rules for Writers I have found that I get a lot of words confused such as there their they sound the same but have very different meanings. Coma errors are something that I do a lot of as well whether its the fact that I'm writhing to fast or don't pay attention enough. There was one run on sentence that I found after reading this book it was quit easy to spot. There was one or two incomplete sentences or fragments that I found where missing a verb or a subject.
