As I read, I will pay attention to expression, phrasing, and tempo.
Alice was born in 1902 on a ranch near Red Lodge,
11 Montana. Because they traveled on horses, the Greenough
19 family kept dozens of them to ride. Alice also fed cattle,
30 roped them, and rounded them up. She developed the riding
40 and roping skills that would later bring her fame.
49 Alice had seven brothers and sisters, five of whom wound
59 up working in rodeos. They became known as the “Riding
69 Greenoughs.” Alice later said, “We learned to ride before we
79 could walk.”
81 Ranch life was busy. The family planted, grew, and
90 harvested crops. Cattle had to be rounded up and fed.
100 Someone had to tame the horses and teach them to carry a
112 rider or pull a wagon. In addition, the fences needed fixing,
123 and the buildings and machines needed repairs. 130
