Okay, so I fixed my first problem. Now, I have to find the proper form of "in
the beginning." Should it be はじめに、すなおだった (hajime ni, sunaodatta,) or
はじめは、すなおだった (hajime wa, sunaodatta?)

question
syntax transcription
What is the proper form of "In the beginning" for this sentence?
In your sentence はじめは ("at first", "in the beginning") is correct. This は is
contrastive, and can be used with another subject marked with は (e.g.,
はじめは彼は素直だった). はじめに means "first (of all)", "at the beginning (of a month,
etc)", "Introduction/Preface (chapter title)" and so on.
