I need someone to check my paragraph and tell me if I did it correctly or if I missed something. My assignment was to highlight all of the pronouns, and make sure they agree with their antecedents in number, gender, and person.
I put quotation marks around what I believe are the Antecedents and little stars around what I believe are the pronouns that follow.
I believe that “Don Quixote” and “Candide” are both simple minded characters but very different in how *they* operate. (third person) “Don Quixote” is a disillusioned old *man* who fantasizes about the glory and adventure of a knight. (masculine gender) He stops taking care of his home and land to just fill his mind with the tell tales of books. Eventually he sets out on an adventure leaving everyone behind, his family tricks him into coming back and forbids him from reading books but he still manages to sneak away with his trusty squire Sancho Panza. “Don Quixote” is so caught up in *his* head that he thinks an evil magician took *his* books away not *his* family. (masculine gender)
