just a note, watch for redundancy of words.
first paragraph has story in there a couple of times.
Try changing some of them to words like tales, books,
writings..things like that.
In the biography paragraph, try changing the second sentence to this:
He was born into a very German family that was dedicated to its heritage by attending masses and only speaking their native language.
Kinda cuts out the word German in there a couple times.
Your report is great, and I am not trying to pick it apart.
I just do a lot of writing in my profession and so I tend to notice these things. If you need more help, just let me know.
