Original Paragraph:
Omar returned to Jedda with death in his heart. In vain his slaves tried to muse him; in vain business and wealth came to him from all quarters. For days together he shut himself up in his chamber, sitting cross-legged on a rug and revolving in his head impracticable schemes of vengeance.
Now I am going to do an evaluation of this paragraph:
Omar sounds very mad and alone. It sounds as though he is thinking of plans to get back at someone for doing something wrong to him. I would not want to be in his way.

It occurs to me that I have not seen appositive phrases or participial phrases labeled in any of these paragraphs. Check directions for the dialectical journals you do next time and make sure that you are identifying (and labeling) the items you are supposed to ID.
