"Llevo mucho tiempo repasando la teoría de "
Hola, tengo que entregar mi primera "reacción a la literatura" mañana. Es bastante largo, y en lugar de pedir ayuda para la ensaya entera, escogí un par de frases de que no me siento segura. ¡Gracias por cualquier ayuda!
Llevo mucho tiempo repasando la teoría de cambio de clima -- I spend a lot of time reviewing the theory of climate change.
Is the use of the gerund ("repasando") ok here? And is "repasar" the right word for "reviewing, going over"?
Sin embargo, Hawthorne nunca desarrollaba un estilo de realismo mágico, sino uno de realismo oscuro y sombrío. -- However, hawthorne never developed a magical style of realism, but rather one of dark and somber realism.
My main question is the use of the imperfect for "never developed". I think that since it never fully developed, the imperfect makes sense instead of "nunca desarrolló". Also, does the sentence make sense altogether?
Finally, am I giving this post an appropriate title???? Thanks!

rather one ....sino más bien un realismo...(I would not repeat estilo here)

Nunca desarrollaba: he was never developping....
He never developed is equivalent to: He did not actually develop, so past simple.
However, on second thought, you might want to say:
Hawthorne nunca acabó por desarrollar un estilo .....
