Review of Enough is Enough  
Review by Caroline
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


Hi there! I'm here to give you my opinion on your peice! I'm reviewing this because I either stumbled accross it and it looked interesting, you gave me a nice review previously, or you asked for me or the general public to review it. Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
I love this look at the presidential race this year. Though I can't vote (I have to wait till next election in 4 years), I've been following the campaign, watching the debates and such. The things you hear; it's really ridiculous. I love how you captured each little absurdity in the race without actually literally stating most of it. Most people can relate to this poem, and those that can't will maybe learn a lesson from it. The poem flowed well, and the rhyming didn't seem forced at any point. Thank you for sharing this!

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
I couldn't spot any errors.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"It’s 2008; is this as far as we’ve come,
assessing on color instead of the work a man’s done? " I love this line, because people seem to always be saying "Look how far we've come!" or some variation of it.


*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
I have no suggestions. Great poem!

Thank you for opening your heart and letting me take a peek inside! I assure you I thoroughly enjoyed it, or I wouldn't have finished it and typed out this whole review.

Hi there! I'm here to give you my opinion on your peice!

Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
Frightening experiences will always end in a greater bond. First you introduced the relationship between the siblings, through the beginning and the first part of the pond trip. We expected everything to be fine. Then an unusual occurrence happened, and you built suspense for as long as possible. You left the reader burning with anticipation of just what was going on. You gave us a bang of the action, then ended with a heartwarming bonding moment. You really told this story wonderfully. Awesome job!

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
I didn't notice any errors.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"They would tell me there was a snake or a wasp on me, and a hundred times I obliged them by reacting with screams and cries. This brought them laughter and my mother headaches. " Great little anecdote to give us insight to the siblings' relationship.

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
I have no suggestions. Great little family story!

*Check3*Overall Impression:
Aww... This adorable little story brought tears to my eyes. In the first paragraph, I expected a bitter story of divorce. Next we were brought to a romantic evening, so of course I expected it to be the ex, though the mother out the back door did raise some doubt. What really gets perplexing is the peanut butter sandwiches, and how the narrator is so delighted with them. By now your reader knows something is up, but then we find out it's your 6-year-old son, and it all makes sense again. I had to re-read it after the first time to get the whole cuteness of it. Wonderful storytelling! I love how you used the prompt; very creative.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"Standing before me was the most handsome man. I had never seen him with such detail paid to his appearance. "

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
I have no suggestions. I truly loved this little piece of heart!

*Check3*Overall Impression:
I loved this piece! The story begins as you would expect. A young boy has a party, he's antsy and wants to go play, and there's a favorite gift. Then we begin to find something unexpected. The boy lives with his grandfather, and he gave him sand for his birthday. But we still expect something usual with grandfatherly reminiscing and such. The beginning introduced the story well, while captivating your readers in the process, until the out of the ordinary experience just seems natural, and we are plunged into the make believe world. The suspense and gentle guiding of the writer really got me into the story as a reader. Awesome story!

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:

*Check3*Overall Impression:
What a wonderfully creepy poem! I love how it never tells you exactly where evil dwells; the reader is left to create their own creepy place. You did a wonderful job setting up the mood of the place, without directly describing it. Nice poem!

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):

*Check3*Overall Impression:
Awesome article! Your suggestions were so useful, especially in the time we're in here in the US. Everyone is looking for anything they can do to save a penny! I loved that even if you don't use the suggestions listed, it inspires you to invent your own reused decorations. I've always been one for homemade costumes, though I never thought of making decorations. I remember once a few years ago when I bought a 30-dollar flying ghost that took an hour to set up and never worked. Next time I'll refer to this article!

I really enjoyed this poem. I live in Florida myself, so I hear a lot about invasive plants and such, but never have I heard of these pythons. This was a very creative and unique poem; it made me smile! The rhyme was good as well, and the piece had its own sort of flow.

Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
This story conveyed a good message, but it was a little hard to find. 100 word stories are always difficult; I like to write them myself. However, they still need to make sense, grammatical and otherwise.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
Much of this story was confusing and didn't actually sound like real english. The trick with this type of story is to utilize your words so well that the reader doesn't notice that the writer is limited.

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
Many times words were left out and the sentence became a fragment; try fixing those.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"He smiled, continued with teaching, while his student learned one more new thing that day, rejoiced happily "

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
Try reworking this, and explore more words to use so that your story will be more understandable.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
Good moral lesson in this. I love the part when he gives the excuse, and sees the building on the TV. Great moment.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
Many grammatical mistakes; see below. You also mixed up your past and present tenses a lot; try to fix that as it will confuse readers.

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
I noticed a few mistakes in spelling, as well as a couple sentences that could be seperated completely or with semicolons.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"The silence was broken by the news flashing on the TV in the corner of the room. "

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
I would like to see the moment after the second to last paragraph dramatized more. You could have included his sinking heart, clammy hands, or blank look. I think that would add a lot to the piece.

Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
This is a very interesting and entertaining story. I loved how you gave the fan, an inanimate object, life and personality.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
There were many technical errors. See below.

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
I noticed a few sentence fragments; those are very important to fix. There were also several instances of leaving out a word or an ending; make sure to fix those too. You also had many run on sentences when you could have used a semicolon to make them easier to read; check through and edit those as well.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"I had a hard time when they nailed me to the wall, it was a painful moment, some scratches are still there on my wings, but they don’t hurt me anymore. "

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
Try to add some flashback moments and more detail of the senses of a fan. Also, I think the title could be a bit more creative. Try experimenting with some different ones.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
This was a very interesting story; I love how you invented an entire personality and character for a wheelchair.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
There were a few instances when you left the "ed" ending off of verbs. Check back through and catch those; it's a common mistake.

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
I noticed a few punctuation errors, but those are easy to fix. Make sure you check through again and fix them.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"Then one day, I was shifted with few of my brothers to a new place. The new place was full of chaos and different smells. People there never seem happy. The whole atmosphere really troubled me. "

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
One small thing in this sentence bothered me: I still feel her soft and warm touch on my hands (handles), when she left me. I think this piece would have been stronger if you took out "handles" in parentheses. It seems to take away from the mood of the piece.

Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
The story itself was very powerful and compelling. I found myself intrigued by the story and connected to the narrator. You have a distinctive voice in your writing. I think this piece could have been made stronger by improving some of the technical aspects of the piece though.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
There where several instances where you changed from present to past tense, or left the ending off of a word. Make sure to choose one and stick with it the whole story. The first and last paragraph are okay, but the rest should have a distinctive trend. Try checking back through and fixing all of those mistakes.

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
There were many places where you had a long sentence separated by commas. It would make more sense to separate those into separate sentences, or use semicolons.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"I had made my choice. I wanted to change my life; I was not ready to rely on unknown destiny to take over my dreams. So I leaked the information."

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
See my suggestions above, and also try using stronger adjectives and descriptions. Embellish the most intense moments by using all five senses and sort of telling them in slow motion. There were many moments of strong emotion where you could have done this.

This story was hilarious, with just a dash of sad. The ending came as a complete surprise; I liked that.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
Some of the dialogue seemed a little unrealistic to me. Try digging into your characters a little deeper and spend some quality time with them, and then come back to the story; that usually fixes those type of problems for me.

I couldn't spot any errors.

"I sat down. Well, actually, I slid down to the floor along the wall that was holding me up." Great sentence. *Smile*

Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
What a cute little story! It was humorous, a little sad, and definitely adorable. I love how the parents remained oblivious through the whole piece, and the little girl was portrayed as being so much braver than they thought.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
In the last sentence of the first paragraph, "it's" should be "its." I hate that pesky little mistake. *Smile* I couldn't spot any other errors.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"Determined not to miss out on the jellybean feast Mirabelle threw off the covers and ran into the dining room. “Those are my jellybeans!” she yelled. "

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
The taking of the jellybeans is a critical moment in this piece. I think you could have dramatized it a bit more. Also, I don't think the last sentence is necessary. As a reader, I'd rather have the lasting impression that I figured out who the "monster" is all on my own. Sometimes it's better to tell your readers less, and give them the satisfaction of thinking they solved the little mystery all on their own. That decision is all up to you, though.

I'm reviewing this because I either stumbled accross it and it looked interesting, you gave me a nice review previously, or you asked for me or the general public to review it. Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
This story nearly made me cry, but also made me smile at the end. It was a beautiful and heartbreaking story. Thank you for sharing it with me.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
A couple missed commas, but nothing too noticable.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"Yes, a real change; it is for the better."

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
Wonderful story; I'd suggest adding a little moment of either friendship or tension between the two mothers before the move. I think that would add a bit to their later encounter.

Thank you for opening your heart and letting me take a peek inside! I assure you I thoroughly enjoyed it, or I wouldn't have finished it and typed out this whole review.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
This was an entertaining story, that is true of children in love no matter what country you're in. Great little story!

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
In the fourth paragraph, you wrote "proffered" instead of "offered." No other errors were noted. *Smile*

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"But all she does is giggle and whisper to that fathead Hiten"

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
"Rati" and "Ravi" are very similar names. I found myself confused by this quite a few times. It was hard to distinguish one from the other at quick glance. I'd suggest changing one of the names.

Thank you for opening your heart and letting me take a peek inside! I assure you I thoroughly enjoyed it, or I wouldn't have finished it and typed out this whole review.

Always remember that any changes you make to your writing should be what you want to do with it; I'm just here to tell you my take on it.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
You did a wonderful job of making me feel the feelings in this piece, from wanting acceptance from grandfather to feeling the icy cold water. I love that the use of the words didn't seem pointless and just thrown in there because you had to; it seemed natural to use them, and they each gave their own meaning to the story. Well done!

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
I found myself wanting to know more about the setting of the place. There were clues, but I could never figure out exactly where the story took place. Just a little mention in the first couple paragraphs would do it.

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:
I couldn't spot any errors.

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"I held my breath and winced at the onslaught of cold water. The sudden cold torrent never failed to give me this unpleasant feeling, in spite of doing this rudimentary splash-and-dash bath everyday. Nobody could better my ability for a quick wash."

*Check3*Suggestions for Improvement:
I have no suggestions other than those mentioned above.

Thank you for opening your heart and letting me take a peek inside! I assure you I thoroughly enjoyed it, or I wouldn't have finished it and typed out this whole review.

*Check3*Overall Impression:
For some odd reason, this poem made me want to cry. Perhaps I'm just going through similar thoughts, trying to work out where I want to go in life. More to the point, that is a sure sign that you are relating to your readers.

*Check3*Major Problems (if any):
No biggies!

*Check3*Grammar/Spelling:

*Check3*My Favorite Part:
"the Past cannot be changed,
but it needs to be remembered."

I have no suggestions. *sniffle* I think your poem gave me a cold. *Smile*
