They are horrible!

Sabes_K has it best, but here’s my update to what Sabes suggested,

“Learning that his son Allen plagiarised his essays pushed Ethan to the limit and made all the past events unbearable. ”

A little parallel structure NEVER went TOO far. Your original version has ZERO parallel structure.

Both sentences suffer from grammar and style problems. As for sense–yes, I do have a problem making sense of the sentences.

How’s this for a rewrite:

Ethan is pushed to the limit when he learns that Allen, his son, has plagiarized his essay. All past events are now unbearable to him.

(Personally I’d like to just eliminate that last sentence. I don’t know what you’re driving at. Does context make it ok?)

Second sentence:

This is the place that Ethan goes to before any big change occurs. Stopping there on Good Friday, he wonders–is a life-changing event about to occur?

“This is the place where Ethan goes before any big change occurs. Therefore, when he stops there on Good Friday, a life changing event is sure to occur.”

Grammatically speaking, the first sentence is correct and makes perfect sense. The only mistake is one of orthography: the word ‘Making’ should not be capitalized.

The two sentences in the second example can be correctly condensed into only one by making full use of the conjunction ‘therefor’ by putting a comma after the word occurs and writing ‘therefor’ without a capital letter at the beginning. This sentence makes perfect sense also.

I think you could reword them a bit. Esepcially the first one, there are too many commas. Just change the words around a bit and you’ll find something that makes sense!

no person million) it is not an entire sentence. 2) this is attempting to make a assessment. for this reason, it desires to have a word like “extra” or “much less” or some thing alongside those lines earlier “commonly used.” 3) “For” does not make experience the place this is at. i think of “for stated” is meant to be “aforementioned” or “forementioned.”
