Do I have this written in active voice? If not, can you please help me convert it to active voice?

I've read the answers you have received so far, and they are ALL incorrect, including the one from the English minor.\n\n"Was awarded" and "Have been sold" are both in the passive voice!! Replace "was awarded" with "received." While "have been sold" is in the passive voice, it is correctly used.\n\nI would assume there is more to this than what you have written. For example, you make statements you do not support. You cite courage as a central theme, but you do not support that with specific examples of courage in the novel. You state that there are "many other themes," but you never discuss any of them. You state that Finch, Robinson, Deas, and Dobose "express pure prowess," but you do not give any examples to support that. A good essay always supports its main ideas with specific examples from the reading itself.\n\nI think you should ask you teacher to teach the class how to write a five paragraph essay. S/He ought to know what that means. You seem to have the ability to write well. Support your ideas, and you will be an excellent writer, especially in any academic field.

The easiest way is to use a text to speech voice synthesizer software. The link I am providing gives you an example of what i am referring to.\n\nhttp://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php

Hi, firstly if i do any mistakes please feel free to correct me. Direct and indirect, speech are mostly use in speech form, Direct speech is wen there is an instant speech, n indirect speech is a reported speech. so u will have to make grammatical changes. For e.g,\n Marry says,"I am hungry".    this is direct speech, in indirect speech the sentence will b like that, \nMarry said that, she is hungry.\n\nAs in Active n Passive Voice.\nThe sentences in also more concise than in passive voice. In sentences written in active voice, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts.  For e.g\nThe dog bit the boy.  \n\n As in sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed in the verb; the subject is acted upon. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the . . ." phrase or may be omitted.\n\nFor e.g, The boy was bitten by the dog.  I show u another e.g wen the agent is omitted, For e.g, in the active form,  \n\nThe policeman has arrested the thief. \n\nIn the passive form where the agent is omitted. e.g  \n\nThe thief has been arrested.\n \nBut dont forget in both Direct n indirect speech and Passive n Active voice u have to make grammatical changes.  if u need more help pleas dont hesitate to contact me OK.

Wow, that is so beautiful.\nNo, it does not sound like a letter, it's definately a poem and it has a story somewhere in there. I wouldn't mind hearing it, i'm interested. I've written a few poems but they're not constructed well like yours is very well done. mine all have stories burried somewhere in them. How i came to writting whatever i wrote or what they're about.\n\nbest of luck, and keep on rolling\n~just a Youngling\n\nps. i chocked on a paperclip because that's how i roll

I have an idea, but your phonetics needs urgently an improvement. You better work on them ASAP and later on Spanish

Both of these sentences are already in the passive voice. Passive voice means that the subject of the sentence, the study, is not acting, it's being acted upon, "was funded." \nThe patents are the subject of the first sentence, and "are expected" is acting on the patents.\n\nBut to change them from passive to active, you could do this:\n1. The school expects the patents to eventually create a windfall of royalties for the school, if they are allowed to stand.\n**this changes the subject of the sentence from patents to school, and the school is acting on patents, expecting the patents.\n\n2. A grant from the National Cancer Institute funded the study.\n**A grant is now the subject of the sentence, and it is acting on the study by funding it.

Let me help you with the metre first: it is iambic, i.e. an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed one, as if you were saying "I AM, I AM".\nIt is a crossed rhyme you find in the 1st four verses of each stanza and then a paired rhyme, a couplet, in the 5th and 6th. \nIn stanza 1and 2 in vers 6 there is a deviation from the very regular metre; these lines start with a stressed syllable, making the beginning almost a trochee, perhaps in accordance with the sudden movement of "fluttering" and "tossing", whereas everything else is smooth and tranquil, almost pensive; thus the regular beat and the smoothness of the rhymes support the author's serene bliss.\n\nThe formatting in stanza 3 is slightly incorrect at least as far as the lay-out in your questions goes:\n"The waves beside them danced; but they\nOutdid the ..."

"Hey kid".\n\nI turned to look but no one was there.  It was all quiet on the street this Sunday morning.\n\n"Hey kid" \nI heard it again. "Hey" I said back, hoping to find where the voice was coming from.\n\n"Come here" the voice said.\n\n"Where are you?" I asked.\n\nJust then my friend, Carl walked out of the pizza shop.  "What do you want Carl?"\n\n"Huh?" he gave me a strange look.\n\n"Didn't you just ask me to 'come here'?" I asked.\n\n"No, I just got out here".  He said. "Are you feeling alright?"\n\n"He can't hear me" the voice said.\n\n"Where are you?" I asked \n\n"I'm standing right here, dork" Carl laughed thinking I was playing around.\n\n"No there's a voice here" I said.\n\n"He can't hear me" the voice said again.\n\nSo hows that for a start on a three way conversation?

Let me say this.You have more skill as a writer than most I have seen on this site.I'm amazed at some of the horrific spelling and uneven writing tendencies on here.You are quite well-written.You make your thoughts known clearly and precisely.Please don't take this negatively,but for your age you have quite the vocabulary.I have been on this site for about a month and really enjoy it.Feel free to check my posts and give me some feedback.I'm 44,but I still like perspectives from all ages.Peace.

No, it does not sound right. It could be corrected as:\n\na. He is/was not able to perform\n\nb. He could not perform\n\nc. He is/ was unable to perform

Hi Kadie, you've done a fantastic job, you are honest and believable and seem very genuine.  Like eiremanne says, I would change the bit that says hanging out, there are 2 other things I would change - firstly, don't say 'I have not really made any ambitions yet', I would just take that bit out,and delete the word 'pretty' all the way through - just say you are good at things, it reads better that way. Other than that, its really great, well done! Best of luck.
