Walking Out
A boy named David goes hunting with his father for grouse. He shoots a ton of shots but does not hit any. The next year his father takes him moose hunting, and they stay at a cabin each night. One morning they wake up and go but there is snow on the ground outside. David goes off the trail a little to get some water and a bear cub bites his hand. David's father comes and kicks the cub away and tells David to get up in a tree. When David gets up in the tree the mother bear comes and David tries to shoot it to protect his father, but misses and hits his father in the leg. David's father shoots the bear then they start making their way back to the cabin. David's dad dies on the way and David carries him back.

Issues Summary

Syntax "a ton of shots"

→ Suggestion: many shots

The phrase 'a ton of shots' is informal and can be replaced with 'many shots' for a more appropriate tone in writing.

Punctuation "but there is snow on the ground outside."

→ Suggestion: but there is snow on the ground outside;

Using a semicolon instead of a period here can help connect the two related ideas more smoothly.

Punctuation "to get some water and a bear cub bites his hand."

→ Suggestion: to get some water, and a bear cub bites his hand.

Adding a comma before 'and' clarifies that these are two separate actions occurring in sequence.

Grammar "to protect his father, but misses and hits his father in the leg."

→ Suggestion: to protect his father but misses and hits him in the leg.

To avoid repetition, you can replace 'his father' with 'him' in the second part of the sentence.

Syntax "then they start making their way back to the cabin."

→ Suggestion: and then they start making their way back to the cabin.

Using 'and' at the beginning of the clause improves the flow and connection between the events.
