Can someone please proofread my essay and help me fix and grammar errors I might have.
Peyton Farqhar sacrificed his life he had courage, and a purpose. He had plans he was trying to achieve. Taking that into consideration then yes, he might be considered as a hero to some. He had the best intentions in mind by trying to burn down the bridge but it turned out to be under false pretenses. Farghar acts weren’t illegal, but were it the right decision to make. He was tricked into believing he was doing something to better the south. Under certain circumstances I would believe one has the right to defend their home from an apparent threat. Farqhar may have felt that’s what he was doing. It’s true that Farqhar emotions got the best of him and caused him to take desperate measures. He was so devoted to the Southern cause that he was willing to take any opportunity that was given to him. He had the heart of a soldier. Farqhar felt that all was fair in love and war and he knew the chance he was taking. It was never stated that Peyton Farqhar was caught in an illegal act. Farqhar wasn’t acting criminally but yet ethically in his mind and it ended up costing him his life.
I can help you proofread your essay and fix any grammar errors you might have. Here are some suggestions for improving your essay:
1. Improve sentence structure: Some of your sentences are run-on or lack proper punctuation. Make sure to break them down into shorter, more concise sentences.
2. Use correct verb tense: In the sentence "Farghar acts weren't illegal," the verb tense should be "Farqhar's acts weren't illegal" to match the subject.
3. Clarify your ideas: Some parts of your essay seem a bit unclear. Provide more specific examples or explanations to support your statements and make your arguments more convincing.
4. Use proper punctuation: Make sure to use commas, semicolons, and periods appropriately to help clarify your thoughts and make your writing more coherent.
5. Check for consistency: Use consistent verb tense throughout your essay. For example, instead of switching between past and present tense, choose one and stick with it.
