    Start sentences with different parts of speech.

    Explanation:

    There are 8 parts of the speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. In this case, the paragraph seems repetitive and monotonous because the sentences beggin in the same way. Sentences 2, 3, 4, and 5 start with the same pronoun (it), and sentences 7, 8, and 9 with the same noun (Jody).

    The solution is to replace those with diferent parts of speech.

    Example:

    1) The Yearling is one of my favorite novels. (2) The author is Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. (3) It is about a yearling, which is a young deer, or fawn. (4) Action takes place in Florida during the 1870s. (5) The plot is interesting.

    (6) A boy named Jody finds the yearling during a hunting trip. (7) His father, Penny, had shot the fawn's mother without realizing that it had a baby. (8) As a consequence, he feels sorry for the orphan and brings it to the family farm. (9) Jody loves his pet, but his parents start to hate it after it begins eating the family's crops.
