@mishae,
Mis no offense but many of us resent anothers' homework when we're not quite sure just what you expect. It might require hours or even a week
First though, owing to its crowded appearance you must place a carriage return between paras. You might then find cases where consolidation preferable
I'd combine many of the sentences but then there might be a matter of style…..
so I hope you get some input from others more patient
It was [a] Monday, [supposedly] a normal day [beginning, starting, commencing] like any other. America woke
up at 6:30 a.m.[,] taking a hurried shower then straightening her hair and
wore [dressing with, slipping into] a gray knee-length coat.
America [She]
woke up [had awakened] so early for a reason
.[:] Every time she
needed [felt the need for] a stroke of luck, she
came [crossed her narrow street? drove a few blocks?] to the local park
and feed [where she fed] the pigeons [gathering there only in the wee hours?] [often a successful ploy
. This [and a] tradition
she taught from [of] her late grandma.
But was she wearing only the coat?
