The School Girl

Original Paragraph:

Jane Rice is a good girl. She goes to school everyday, and she can read quite well. She does what she is told, and is kind to all. One day, as she went to school, she saw a poor bee in the water, on the road. She took a leaf, for fear the bee would sting her, and held it to the bee. The bee took hold of it, with its feet. Jane took it out, and put it where the sun would shine on it. The bee soon got warm and flew away. Jane was glad that she had saved its life.

Now I am going to do a imitation/contrast of this paragraph:

Jimmy Jones is a bad boy. He skips 90% of school days, and he can't do math. He nevers listens to his mother, and is a brat to all. One day, as he was sleeping peacefully in the barn, when he should have been in school, a bee woke him up by stinging him. He awoke with a start and yelled at the bee. Jimmy ran out of the barn to get the stinger out. He was very mad that he got stung. But, so happens, it was the same bee that Jane had saved a couple days ago.

I love it! Your variety in sentence structure is a strength of this paragraph.
