Local Revision: Passive and Active Voice

Voice Type:	Active (Specific)	Active (General)	Passive
Verb:	Exposing Firing	Having Hiding Being Leading Finding Doing Causing Arguing Trying Losing Mentioning Would Happening Working Admitting Damaging Purchasing Making Covering Apologizing Impacting Goes Discovering According Taking Occurring Begin Investigate Tells Involved Continuing/Continue Plays Says	Leading Resigning Showing Stating Affecting Believing Facing Serving Seen Selling Told

This took a while to finish and was a little tricky. Here are my responses:

1. The actions in my quick reference guide are mostly general. The actions in the piece are mostly general and not specific. This gives a little vivid description, but needs to be more detailed. There are a few instances of the passive voice, which I noticed in my work. These are all things I need to improve on, as the voice of my project does not use more effective verbs to give a better description. Instead of using general actions, I need to replace a lot of the verbs with more specific verbs to give a better description to readers.

2. I could definitely less vague verbs in my project to overall help improve my project. In addition to using more descriptive verbs, I should try to avoid using the same general verbs. This would in effect make writing of my project less general and more detailed.
