* I understand what you're trying to say, but "achieve" isn't the best choice here. How about, "With his song, he wanted Patti to realize his pain." What he's trying to achieve is implied in the sentence--you don't have to specifically state it.

-She wrote a good mark. A / U
*I'm not sure what "mark" means here. Can you help me, please?
