Chapter 8 Act. 2- Simple and Compound Sentences

B. Some students have trouble getting along with their roommates.

     Simple: High school students want to go to college.They are excited, and ready for a new beginning. But they may hate there roommates.Due to the variety of people in college.People are use to their own way of living.
Once your in college, you'll have to adapt to change. Some people don't like change.

     Compound: high school students want to venture out and off to college. A new beginning entails freedom and diversity of atmosphere. Although some students will not like the change of atmosphere, because their roommates are not all they expected them to be. Some people have problems with change, and believe "its their way or the highway"

     My first version of the paragraph using only simple sentences was hard to write. I feel like sentences were to choppy and as if i couldn't use details in the. Verses the  paragraph that i used compound and compound complex sentences. In the second paragraph I felt as if i could use more detail and lengthen the sentence. The meaning was relatively the same but the second paragraph showed more emphasis because i felt there was stronger words used.
