1) After splitting up these verbs I found that I had no "passive" verbs, but a majority of my verbs were "active general". I learned that all of the verbs in my draft so far are very general, but I can use specific verbs to help the reader understand what is going on more than just using adverbs or adjectives. By using more specific verbs, I can make my writing more concise as well as giving the reader a better explanation, while making my QRG easier to read.
2) Based on the analysis above, I have decided that I really need to replace my general verbs with specific verbs to make my QRG more interesting and better over all. If I put more descriptive verbs in place, my writing will be more interesting and I won't have to write as much. Also, if a QRG is too boring or vague, the reader will want to cease reading and then I have failed my purpose for writing this QRG. I want to inform and entertain my audience so they can actually become interested in the legalization of marijuana in Colorado.
