What's wrong with this paragraph?
"Jaroslav Seifert’s words on magnet is a complex work of careful dictation, elaborate symbolism, and shrouded artistic frustration. In the words of flaubert, “the art of tomorrow shall be impersonal and scientific.” In light of this impending woe, Devêtsil artists like Seifert relished in life’s natural beauty, fearing the lack thereof to come. Though at first glance this poem might seem to be a bric-a-brac of seemingly unrelated images (like word magnets on a refrigerator), under further dissection one can find insight into the mind of a Poetist and Marxist writer searching for fulfillment in an increasingly cold, turbulent and mechanical world."

What's wrong with this paragraph?
"Fast-forward to 1825, when twenty-year-old Harvey D. Parker moved to Boston from Maine with only a single dollar in his pocket. He worked in the city as a coachman for seven years, until he was able to scrape up $432, which he used to buy his favorite café, owned at the time by a man named John Hunt, and located at 60, School Street near the corner of Tremont Street. He renamed the establishment Parker’s Restaurant. Harvey Parker was known for his lofty ambitions and his perfectionist approach to his business, and with meticulous strategy, tireless enthusiasm, and plenty of elbow-grease, Parker’s successful restaurant led to a promising business partnership with an equally-determined man named John F. Mills. (Jones, 82) The two made plans to buy the mansion located just next door, and merge the two establishments into one swanky, elite hotel – in 1855, this dream became a booming, five-story, Italian-style reality."

What is wrong with this paragraph:
Joelle van Dyne seems unbound to this world from the first moment we meet her on page 219: “You can be at certain parties and not really be there". Her early attempts to leave this world are similar to how James’s ghost haunts ETA, except each wants to leave their own respective realm for the other. While it may seem far-fetched to align Joelle with Death, Wallace’s vast novel invites interpretations by denying the reader concrete answers, and welcomes the blurring of the living and the dead with the lingering presence of James Incandenza. Joelle’s involvement with and parallels to the samizdat, the persona of Madame Psychosis, and her appearances to Don Gately all provide evidence that warrants consideration that she is the angel of Death playing Joelle van D., and not the other way around. As Wallace states on page 203: “…There might not be angels, but there are people who might as well be angels.”
“You can be at certain parties and not really be there."

What is wrong with this paragraph:
"To put it simply: Stranger Things has happened. Few shows in the last year have blown up the way this series has, taking Netflix by supernatural storm almost overnight. While the child actors and 80’s zeitgeist have been the center of most of the hype, there are many smaller elements of the show’s genius that might go unnoticed simply because they are so well-woven into the Duffer Brothers’ masterpiece. Perhaps one of the most pivotal scenes occurred in Chapter 6, “The Monster,” from 38:02-41:14. This scene was a great example of some of the more intricate decisions made by the show’s creators, including camera movement, editing, and sound design."
