Question

Do you think this is a run on sentence?

Donkey skin, the heroine, goes through many transformations of herself to overcome her father's evil desire of marrying her, giving an optimistic outlook on incest for readers. 

If so what can I do to fix it? I can't have run ons in my essay.

Answer 1

First, there is no optimistic outlook on incest. It would be better to say that these transformations give the reader the belief that she will have a better future.

Donkey Skin is capitalized.. Leave out "of herself"

I would say, Donkey Skin goes through many experiences which help her overcome her father's evil desire to marry her. These transformations lead the reader to believe that she will have a better future.

Answer 2

thank you!
