  3. "flat topped" should be "flat-topped". I have a question for you: I noticed you are selective with your use of hyphenated phrases.

  27. Add a comma after "city".

  31. What are "grounders"?
  32.  
  33. Thundercracker was intelligent, artistic although extremely discriminatory toward grounders. Perhaps as a direct result of the grounding of his beloved VOS.
