Words & Wordplay - October 2007

I'm on yearbook staff and I can't think of a way to make this flow:

"During their last year at [school name here], the seniors experienced another principal, fresh rules, and new teachers. There were more laughs, tears, and drama than ever before. Friendships were obliterated, and then tentatively rebuilt. Some relationships have ended, while others have just begun."

I need help with that last sentence. During the whole paragraph, I pretty much kept it to past and I'd like to keep it that way. But if I say "Some relationships were ended, while others were begun." it sounds a little off. I think. Maybe not? Hm. *rubs chin* Dunno. =D

Lol. Thanks for your help =)

i was just wondering is their a difference between something identifying a noun and something describing it. for example in these 2 sentences:
1)Aaron, the boy next door, has a room full of comic books.
2)Aaron, born in the UK, has a room full of comic books.
sentence one seems to me to be more identifying the noun where as sentence 2 gives you more information. while both of these are unnescessary to know (non -essential) it seems to me there is a difference. just to me, it seems sentence is more unitive than sentence 2.

How do you "expand" on writing and make it smooth? I'm supposed to be writing a page on describing a wintery scene, but so far I only have a paragraph, but the sentences aren't nicely linked together and have no flow between one another. It's simply a sentence about the sun, then a sentence about trees, next a sentence about how the snow looks, then a sentence on how the snow has dips, etc.

It was at once enlightening and affirming to learn that some of the instances of discrimination that I had THITHERTO encountered could be explained in terms of psychological theories and concepts.

It was at once enlightening and affirming to learn that some of the instances of discrimination that I had PREVIOUSLY encountered could be explained in terms of psychological theories and concepts.

Or, alternatively, should I not put such an adverb after the word had in this sentence?

Thanks for your help!
