In the end of Biss’s essay, her last memory is of her on the beach with a young black woman and a middle-aged Polish immigrant, all of whom are different and share different ethnicities and comes to finally say that Rogers Park is her…

Instead, read what the character does or say, people actually hear and see what they do, and it would make those characters more natural…
