Problem: The writing is too feminine, translate it to a more "man" POV.

That b*tch really had the nerve to disrespect me. She was nothing compared to me, like dirt on one of my shoes. As far as I could tell, the girl was not popular, not anything, but she had no respect for me. I didn’t like attention all that much, but I hate feeling anything but superior, and the girl acted as if I was the inferior one. This completely p*ssed me off, as well as the fact that she had kicked me in a painful space. All I wanted her to be was intimated, but instead I now looked like some idi*t. I grabbed my backpack as the students filed into the classroom. A couple of girls looked over their shoulder towards me and one of them started giggling, but I disregarded them. I wanted to find that girl; she couldn’t just ridicule me like that and get away. I couldn’t find her anywhere in the senior hall so I gave up as I headed to my next class, a headache of annoyance forming. I wanted to show her who was dominant in this school, whether I was just a new student or not. I was always given what I wanted, my father was rich, and my money was not provided just by him; I had done my own contributions. I wasn’t patient enough to let some girl look over me like that if she was going to sit next to me and act like I was irrelevant.

Once I passed all the classes my mind kept drifting over to the girl. I clenched my fist closed and open; I couldn’t get over the fact that she had the nerve to kick me. It was such a simple act, and yet no-one, at least females, had ever done that to me. I got drifted off in my thoughts. I didn't even notice the squad of men who had gathered around me.

“Hey man! You think you’re some golden boy don’t you? Stealing our women like that!” One of them yelled. I looked at him a bit closer; I wasn’t very tall, I was 5’ 9, but he was incredibly short, 5' 4. He was quite chubby and had black hair that was covered in pounds of gel. I clicked my tongue and went back to my thoughts, dismissing the girly groan coming from him. He honestly looked ug*y; I couldn’t be bothered by his bravado appearance. His jaw tightened and three boys, similar to him in looks, went behind him. One of them was punching his hand with his fist trying to act tough, and I had to stop my laughter from exploding. Abruptly, my guard's car pulled up, a white porsche.

I looked over to them leaning my head against the wall mockingly, “Well, as scary as you rats are, I have to go.” I gave them a scornful smile and I walked to the car. None of them bothered following me, probably realizing I wasn’t worth it. I opened the front door and got into the car, and just that was enough to gain the attention of the students from miles away. I got in and the guard began the silent drive towards my house, which was a big mansion quite far away from school. As I have said, I am superior to any of my peers. My father and I travel a lot due to the needs of his – job, but this doesn’t ruin any of our living conditions. I reached the front of my house to be greeted by a guard, who escorted me towards the kitchen before leaving the room. I saw the cook and requested dinner, specifically pasta and meatballs. I never had much of a care for gourmet foods, and I couldn’t care less about what I would eat. I went into my room, which was located on the third floor, and plopped down on the coach.

My room contained a king-size pearl white bed that was situated on the right of me, the opposite side of the door; a gray couch, with a TV across from it; a basketball hoop on my door; a gaming chair and gaming computer on a desk to my left, as corny as it sounds; and a beanbag with a bunch of sport gear on the right in the corner of the room.

Soon my food arrived and I sat myself on my desk, right next to the couch, and began working on the homework. As much as I could care less about school, my father owned many businesses, illegal or legal, and I needed to get to college and that means I needed to try this senior year. I groaned loudly in the air and looked back to the tons of homework already assigned to me on the first day of school. I finished quickly as despite the amount, school was very easy for me. My mind was clouded with thoughts of the girl from earlier; I didn’t even know her name. I grimaced from the reminder of where she had kicked me and I shook her out of my head. There was no need for someone unimportant to distract me, and I would show her soon enough she should have respected me.

Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

I knew I could never let Mom hear the messages, because protecting her is one of my most important raisons d’être, so what I did was I took Dad’s emergency money from on top of his dresser, and I went to the Radio Shack on Amsterdam. It was on a TV there that I saw that the first building had fallen. I bought the exact same phone and ran home and recorded our greeting from the first phone onto it. I wrapped up the old phone in the scarf that Grandma was never able to finish because of my privacy, and I put that in a grocery bag, and I put that in a box, and I put that in another box, and I put that under a bunch of stuff in my closet, like my jewelry workbench and albums of foreign currencies.

Read Paul's sermon in Acts 13: 16-41. Locate key words that he uses. List several (but do not repeat).

"Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem. But going on from Perga, they arrived at Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. After the reading of the Law and the Prophets the synagogue officials sent to them, saying, “Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.” Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen: The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out from it. For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness. When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance—all of which took about four hundred and fifty years. After these things He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will.’ From the descendants of this man, according to promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, after John had proclaimed before His coming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’ “Brethren, sons of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent. For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, recognizing neither Him nor the utterances of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him. And though they found no ground for putting Him to death, they asked Pilate that He be executed. When they had carried out all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb. But God raised Him from the dead; and for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people." (Acts 13:13-31)

What is relative clause?

When I was about fifteen years old we had
retired to our house near Belrive, when we
witnessed a most violent and terrible
thunderstorm. It advanced from behind the
mountains of Jura, and the thunder burst at once
with frightful loudness from various quarters of
the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted,
watching its progress with curiosity and delight.
As I stood at the door, I suddenly beheld a
stream of fire issuing from an old and beautiful
oak which stood about twenty yards from our
house; and as soon as the dazzling light
vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing
remained but a blasted stump. When we visited
it the next morning, we found the tree shattered
in a singular manner - not splintered by the
shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of
wood. I never beheld anything so utterly
destroyed.
Before this I was not unacquainted with the
more obvious laws of electricity. On this
occasion a man of great research in natural
philosophy was with us, and excited by this
catastrophe, he entered on the explanation of a
theory that he had formed on the subject of
electricity and galvanism, which was at once
new and astonishing to me. All that he said
threw greatly into the shade the lords of my
former study; but by some fatality the overthrow
of these men disinclined me to pursue my
accustomed studies. It seemed to me as if
nothing would or could ever be known. All that
had so long engaged my attention suddenly
grew hateful. By one of those sudden impulses
of the mind which we are most subject to in early
youth, I at once gave up my former studies. I set
down natural history and its related studies. I
entertained the greatest disdain for a would-be
science that could never even step within the
threshold of real knowledge. In this mood I
betook myself to mathematics and the branches
of study pertaining to that science as being built
upon secure foundations, and so worthy of my
consideration.
Adapted from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, 1818.
