Do you approve of this paragraph in a novel?

Jack itched to ram the gun back into Paul’s mouth, but forced himself not to. Instead, he exited the car, pulled Paul out, and threw him into the trunk. With a pounding heart, he drove off into the rainy night. After circling the block three times, he made up his mind. With accelerating wipers, he navigated to Roosevelt Avenue, pulled over, and yanked Paul out of the trunk.

Note: Also should it be 1 paragraph?

This is the wrong website to get your writing reviewed. To get your writing expertly critiqued by writers, sign up to Scribophile. They review based on technicality, not personal biases. You have to review others work before you get your chapters reviewed, but it's worth it. As people read only your chapter, they lack context, so whatever you write has to be good or they'll call you out on it, and they'll call you out on it even if it is good. It's the most helpful community there is, considering that proof readers tend to nod their heads with yes with every agreement, and publishers reject books they know are good just because they're unconventional.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
