One body paragraph improved

The movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s mainly talks about how a young and beautiful girl called Holly Golighty changes from a mammonish and heartless girl to a person who clearly knows what she really wants  after a young man named Paul Varjak moves into the apartment where Holly lives in. They soon become friends with each other at the very beginning. In the movie, Holly always takes part in some social parties to meet different rich guys. It seems to be similar to Paul himself because as a writer with little income, he wants to become famous. As the friendship with Holly becomes deeper, Paul falls in love with her. At the same time, Holly tells Paul that a rich man from Brazil decides to get married with her. Paul tries to make Holly realize his love for her. However, Holly always changes topics whenever Paul is going to tell her to change her mind. She even tells Paul "I'm not Holly. I'm not Lula Mae, either. I don't know who I am. I'm like a cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other" (Breakfast at Tiffany's). Paul is upset but doesn't want to give up. In the end of the movie, Holly and Paul have an argument, and Paul tells Holly that she is such a girl who is afraid of facing future. Holly is deeply touched by what he says and she cries badly. Finally she realizes that she loves Paul, which shows that she understands the meaning of being Holly Golightly, and she realizes she used to be such a mammonish girl who always messed everything up. She eventually knows that to be a real Holly is important. They kiss in the pouring rain at the end of the movie. And Holly doesn't deny her love for Paul any more because she feels warmth from him and Paul is the reason why she needs to change.
