Помогите пожалуйста Нужно переписать текст в past A first-person narrative told by Paul

Edgecombe, the novel switches between Paul as an old man in the Georgia Pines nursing home sharing his story with fellow resident Elaine Connelly in 1996, and his time in 1932 as the block supervisor of the Cold Mountain Penitentiary death row, nicknamed "The Green Mile" for the color of the floor's linoleum. This year marks the arrival of John Coffey, a 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) tall powerfully built black man who has been convicted of raping and murdering two small white girls. During his time on the Mile, John interacts with fellow prisoners Eduard "Del" Delacroix, a Cajun arsonist, rapist, and murderer, and William Wharton ("Billy the Kid" to himself, "Wild Bill" to the guards), a wild-acting and dangerous multiple murderer who is determined to make as much trouble as he can before he is executed. Other inhabitants include Arlen Bitterbuck, a Native American convicted of killing a man in a fight over a pair of boots (also the first character to die in the electric chair); Arthur Flanders, a real estate executive who killed his father to perpetrate insurance fraud, and whose sentence is eventually commuted to life imprisonment (while serving his sentence, he is killed by another inmate in the laundry room); and Mr. Jingles, a mouse, to whom Del teaches various tricks. Paul and the other guards are irritated throughout the book by Percy Wetmore, a sadistic guard who enjoys antagonizing the prisoners. The other guards have to be civil to him despite their dislike of him because he is the nephew of the Governor's wife. When Percy is offered a position at the nearby Briar Ridge psychiatric hospital as a secretary, Paul thinks they are finally rid of him. However, Percy refuses to leave until he is allowed to supervise an execution, so Paul hesitantly allows him to run Del's. Percy deliberately avoids soaking a sponge in brine that is supposed to be tucked inside the electrode cap to ensure a quick death in the electric chair. When the switch is thrown, the current causes Del to catch fire in the chair and suffer a prolonged, agonizing demise. Over time, Paul realizes that John possesses inexplicable healing abilities, which he uses to cure Paul's urinary tract infection and revive Mr. Jingles after Percy stomps on him. Simple-minded and shy, John is very empathic and sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others around him. One night, the guards drug Wharton, then put a straitjacket on Percy and lock him in the padded restraint room so that they can smuggle John out of the prison and take him to the home of Warden Hal Moores. Hal's wife Melinda has an inoperable brain tumor, which John cures. When they return to the Mile, John passes the "disease" from Melinda into Percy, causing him to go mad and shoot Wharton to death before falling into a catatonic state from which he never recovers. Percy is committed to Briar Ridge. Paul's long-simmering suspicions that John is innocent are proven right when he discovers that it was actually William Wharton who raped and killed the twin sisters and that John was trying to revive them. Later John tells Paul what he saw when Wharton grabbed his arm one time, how Wharton had coerced the sisters to be silent by threatening to kill one if the other made a noise, using their love for each other. Paul is unsure how to help John, but John tells him not to worry, as he is ready to die anyway, wanting to escape the cruelty of the world. John's execution is the last one in which Paul participates. He introduces Mr. Jingles to Elaine just before the mouse dies, having lived 64 years past these events, and explains that those healed by John gained an unnaturally long lifespan. Elaine dies shortly after, never learning how Paul's wife died in his arms immediately after they suffered a bus accident, and that he then saw John Coffey's ghost watching him from an overpass. Paul seems to be all alone, now 104 years old, and wondering how much longer he will live.

A first-person narrative told by Paul Edgecombe takes us back and forth between his life as an old man in the Georgia Pines nursing home in 1996, sharing his story with fellow resident Elaine Connelly, and his time as the block supervisor of the Cold Mountain Penitentiary's death row in 1932. The death row is known as "The Green Mile" due to the color of its linoleum floor. During 1932, a significant event occurs with the arrival of John Coffey, a massive 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) tall black man convicted of raping and murdering two young white girls.

Within "The Green Mile," John interacts with other inmates, such as Eduard "Del" Delacroix, a Cajun arsonist, rapist, and murderer, as well as William Wharton, also known as "Billy the Kid" to himself and "Wild Bill" to the guards. Wharton is a dangerous multiple murderer determined to cause as much trouble as possible before his execution. The death row also houses Arlen Bitterbuck, a Native American convicted of killing a man over a pair of boots (he is the first character to be executed in the electric chair). Another inmate is Arthur Flanders, a real estate executive who killed his father to commit insurance fraud. While serving his sentence, Flanders is killed by another inmate in the laundry room, and his sentence is eventually commuted to life imprisonment.

In addition to the prisoners, there is Mr. Jingles, a mouse that Del teaches various tricks. Throughout the book, Paul and the other guards have to deal with Percy Wetmore, a sadistic guard who takes pleasure in antagonizing the prisoners. They must remain civil to Percy despite disliking him because he is the Governor's wife's nephew.

An incident involving Percy proves fatal when he refuses to properly prepare the electric chair for Del's execution. As a result, Del suffers a horrifying death in the electric chair due to Percy's negligence. As the story unfolds, Paul begins to realize that John possesses remarkable healing abilities. John heals Paul's urinary tract infection and even revives Mr. Jingles after Percy stomps on the mouse.

One night, the guards take action against Wharton by drugging him and locking Percy in a padded restraint room. They secretly smuggle John out of the prison and bring him to Warden Hal Moores' home. Hal's wife, Melinda, has an inoperable brain tumor, which John miraculously cures. Upon returning to the Mile, John transfers the "disease" from Melinda into Percy, driving him insane. Percy shoots Wharton dead before falling into a catatonic state from which he never recovers. As a result, Percy is committed to Briar Ridge psychiatric hospital.

As the story progresses, Paul's long-held suspicions that John might be innocent are proven correct when he discovers that it was, in fact, William Wharton who committed the rape and murders.
