Help me fix this paragraph please....
The wind roared and whistled through the empty forest. The wind knocked the trees into silence. The only sound was Nikki running. The moonlight shone and projected it across the forest. The pacing footsteps of Nikki were fast and silent. Her breath caught up in words, words that couldn't build up the strength to come out. Nikki, running across the forest, out of breath and silent screams escaping her lips. The tiniest sounds made Nikki's heart race. The beating of her heart was fast, too fast. A piercing scream shattered the loneliness of the forest, escaping Nikki's lips as she grasped onto the tree branch.

hi every one!
here's part of my book review. it's not done of course and i would like you to comment on how i can make it better.
Joey Willis is about 12 years old. She misses the sounds that she heard when she could hear. The beautiful sounds of birds chirping and the sound of the waves are still in her memory. She lives in Fort Bragg with her brother, Luke, her father, Ray and her beloved mom, Ruth. Her mom is the only one who Joey can hear (in her mind). Her mother is very protective and keen about Joey doing well in school. She will not allow Joey to learn sign language, so Joey has to struggle with reading lips. Sometimes, Joey can’t read them, so communication is hard. Luke is a young, energetic boy who Joey adores. She plays with him, and in the book, she hugs and kisses him while he screams and kicks. Ray is her stepfather. He has a long mustache, so Joey can’t see his lips and can’t talk to him. Ruth needs to translate. But now she seems to be pulling away. In the book, “The only person Joey had ever trusted completely was her mother and she felt like Ruth was pulling away. She couldn’t understand why adding Roxy, Charlie, and Sukari to her life might mean breaking the bond she and her mother had.” Roxy is her best friend, because Roxy’s mom is deaf, but Roxy is Joey’s only friend. But everything changed when Joey went out to pick mushrooms. She went into territory she’d never gone before. She met Dr. Charles Mansell (Charlie) and his chimp, Sukari (Sue-car-e). Charlie is a kind old man who understands Joey’s deafness, for both his parents were deaf. Sukari was a baby chimp that Charlie took in to prevent her from going into research labs. Charlie is very angry toward the suffering chimpanzees go through in shows and experiments. Charlie and Sukari both know sign language and Joey’s world is glowing with possibilities. But her mother will soon find out about the secret that Joey tries to hide… There are many parts in the book. One part which stirred my emotions was when an earthquake happened. It really caused many thoughts to run through my head. After the earthquake, Sukari ran over to Joey’s house. Urgently, she pulled Joey and her family in the direction of Charlie’s house. What they find… you need to read. What will happen to Sukari?
hope to talk soon!

The wind roared and whistled through the empty forest. The wind knocked the trees into silence.
A piercing scream shattered the lonliness of the forest.
Her breath caught up in words, words that couldn't build up the strength to come out.
Comment on these sentences and how could I make them better. I'm writing a small story and these are some of the sentences in the first paragraph and I wanted to know if I can make them better

Snapshot Writing and Description
hello classes 603 and 621,
Ms. Justic and I are working on our descriptive writing. We would like for you guys to take a look at what we wrote and how we mimicked the following snapshot:
The Beach
I was in dazed as I stared out over the vast amount of water.The salty air surrounded my tense body and seemed to be pushing me towards the big blue ocean. I breath in deeply,trying to get myself together before i attemped the long journey from the beach to the ocean. The wind picked up slightly, and the sand began whirling around my legs, stinging them. I close my eyes and began walking forward. Images of sharks and whales began swimming through my mind. I can see there large canine teeth tearing me apart piece by piece. I came to a sudden stop as my bare feet came in contact with the cold, salty water. Chills were racing up my back and I felt the need to turn and run back toward the safety of the beach towel. For some reason, I took another unsure step. The water raced around my ankles now and waves came toward me. I started walking at a steady pace now. The water was up to my knees then my waste. The water felt so good, so refreshing. I soon forgot my fears and began enjoying my first trip to ocean.

Millicent Min and Misfits Reflections
I think it's essential that we conclude our books with reflections. Using our responses from classwork and homework, let's begin discussing our thoughts.
Welcome to Our Class Blog!!!
"The unexamined life is not worth living."- Socrates
Dear Classes 603 and 621,
I'm really excited about embarking on this new journey. I know this process will help us deepen our thinking as readers, writers, listeners, and speakers. One of the most important factors for creating this blog was to open up another outlet for your voice to be heard, allowing your peers, parents, and teachers to respond to your comments in an insightful way. Take chances with your writing experiences and reading reflections.
I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting experience.
Love,
Ms. Justic
P.S. How do you think the quote that I used applies to our blog?
