In the line:
"He is going to store all the memories of the time before Sameness,"
then put a space between "in" and "case".
And that would be "a situation comes forward" adding an "s" to "come".
In the line:
"Jonas begins to learn about the world from the memories that he receives from the..."
It would be "previous" not "pervious".
In the line:
"Similarly, the plan.."
I believe "Sameness" should be in quotes when used that way and "Jonas" should be "Jonas's"
And the line:
"The characters of both the..."
It should be "stories" instead of "story".
Good luck! I hope I helped!

What is the English equivalent to this bit?

This would be closest. I doubt it's used in hunter shows-- it's more common in AQHA hunter classes.

Edit: Thanks for the thumbs down. Did anyone notice the question before they posted their answers? The question didn't ask for a bit recommendation, it asked for which bit most closely resembled the western bit currently being used. As for kimberwicks never being used 'even in AQHA' :

Those are AQHA horses currently winning in shows. Some have Dee rings, some have full cheeks, and :O !! some even have kimberwicks. A lot of them do, actually.

I am aware of the current viewpoints of bitting, as most likely is the poster, since they specifically asked for no smart mouth comments. I don't choose to argue bits on someone else's question. Put up your own question if you wish to argue which bit is best. :)

Can someone PROOFREAD my essay and give me ideas on how to strengthen the grammar and content of my piece?

We Answered:

Not bad. I enjoyed your writing style. I've adjusted your grammer, but may have missed an item or two. I dropped some words I felt unnecesary, but that was a personal choice and entirely up to you.
Cheers.

Part 1
I recently observed a communication situation which took place during a formal problem solving group. In this instance, a large company was preparing to implement a new policy regarding employee work schedules. A group of directors were assembled to devise a plan that would best communicate the new rules to employees in order to ensure a smooth transition without interrupting productivity.
Part 2
A conflict arose soon after this meeting began. While three of the group members were making eye contact with one another, the fourth person was typing on his Blackberry. Nonetheless, a high status member of the group proceeded to open by summarizing the purposes and goals of the group. Shortly thereafter one member suggested using a PowerPoint presentation to explain the new schedules to employees.
In response to her suggestion the member who was still still using his Blackberry opined that “PowerPoint is a bad idea”. He appeared to be preoccupied with his electronic device and only mildly engaged in the group.
“Actually”, another member said as she glared at the man and his Blackberry, “I like the idea of PowerPoint because it allows people to see - and what they see they’ll remember.”
“Yeah, but it lacks creativity, can’t we do something new?” quipped the Blackberry user, still looking at his gadget.
“What do YOU suggest we do?” questioned another member.
“I don’t have any suggestions, I’m just against PowerPoint!”
After this exchange a brief power struggle ensued. One of the group members asked the person using his black berry to put his phone down. The man with the blackberry replied “Can’t you stop hassling me?”
Finally, the person who opened the meeting intervened and reiterated the purpose of the group adding, “We're not going to get anything done if we keep arguing with each other, would you be kind enough to give us your attention?”
Noting the truth in this statement the group took a collective breath as the Blackberry user put his phone away and apologized for his behavior admitting, “I did not realize it (blackberry) was a distraction”. Following this incident, the group began to get down to the task that they were there for.
Part 3
As you can see there were many concepts from this week’s lesson involved in this short example. Not only were the different roles apparent; such as leader, opinion giver, initiator and even aggressor; but the group seemed to go through various stages including secondary tension (conflict between ideas and personalities) and emergence (after the conflict is resolved). In addition we witnessed a rather rocky example of how a group might come to establish group norms. If that were not enough we also see how body language can play a key role in determining the cohesiveness of a group, as depicted when members became upset at one member’s preoccupation with his Blackberry.
There are several problems that may have been handled better. For example, certainly the member with the cellphone could have been more courteous and used clearer language adaptations to express his personal dislike for PowerPoint, but there also could have been an established set of rules before the meeting. In the end, the meeting managed to be a success due to good leadership which correctly redirected the group’s faculties when they began to experience conflict.

Yes, the competition is tough and a million others are striving for the same goal. However, the biggest names in the business were against a million others when they started too. The more you say that you can't do something the less likely you will be able to. If you are too shy to get your music out there how will anybody ever be able to enjoy it? Also, not all musicians are very popular. My friends father is in a band and they sing at restaurants and events. They are very good and they do it because they love it. Being shy will make this difficult so do what you can to overcome that. Try doing exercises to become more confident in yourself and your music. If you just like to play and want people to enjoy your music without seeing you try and find a way to record alone in your room and then post it to youtube with a random picture or video that accents your music well. Overall, do not let anyone tell you that you can't make your dream a reality and know that you can accomplish this dream.
