Review of Christmas 1984  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
I understood the "tears" that the family shed in the story of "Christmas 1984", and realized that Christmas or any other holidays are great days when people see and feel the "needs of others" in their neighborhood... It is a holiday tale that makes us realize that there are kind hearts every where...

Review of Impossible  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
The writer of "Impossible" seems to have come to the conclusion that the "duality of nature" means we can taste the bitterness of a "bitter honey lemon" and also find joy in the "simplicity of love". I believe I agree with this conclusion...

Review of Ambition  
Review by elephantsealer

"Ambition" is a short tale of a woman who never lost hope of performing in a Broadway production. As proof of her burning ambition, she scoured, nightly, "the papers for auditions...keeping her dream alive". It is an ambition that shows great hope and belief in someone's wish to perform...

Reviewing "The Curse of the Mudflats", I concluded that here is a young man, who for years, listened to his parents about the danger in the mudflats. It did not matter at all because here was a young man who believed he can outwit his parents. In the state he was in, "wading through waist-deep muck", he finally realized the error of his decision: to prove to his parents the mudflats were not dangerous...

After I reviewed, "A Bump in the Night", I would suggest to "Lillibet" to move out of her apartment building and instead rent a one-bedroom house, where the only noises she would hear in the night would be her breathing... In an apartment building, there are people who may snore loudly or people who love to sing loudly in the shower or people who would turn up their videos just to scare other apartment renters... This short work does bring to the fore some of the things (problems) that come up in a large apartment building, including pop, pop of guns? or unearthly screams that make a person call for help...

Review of My First Concert  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"My First Concert" is a light tale about two young people who are fans of the Beatles; and who made plans to stowaway in the plane with the Beatles. Although their plans did not materialize, they were just plain happy they had their day with the Beatles. Along with the idea of stowing, these two young persons thought Social Security cards were enough to allow them to work in England... Quite a disappointment, however, if they did stowaway...

This is a light tale that seems typical at a time when young people plan something, and to realize that their plans are short of good planning...

Review of A Sunny Fall Day!  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
The short tale of "A Suuny Fall Day!" tells of a Deidra, who "didn't feel quite so alone"as she finds herself enjoying the "hustle and bustle" of the day. It was an easy read; although I would like to point to the author one or two spelling errors:

The first sentence: "...middle of November and people where only wearing ..." "where" should be "were".

In the second sentence: "...the young where so resilient..." again "where" should be "were".

Otherwise,the tale does show a feeling of goodness among people...

Review of The Hotel Room  
Review by elephantsealer

Rated: E | (3.5)
"The Hotel Room" is a short tale of a police woman who was killed, and how two FBI agents questioned another woman. It appeared the woman was at the same area and at the same time where the police woman was killed. However, she was not arrested...

At the start of the story, it tells how in the 1980s police condoned crmes/murders in Italy; that as friends of criminals/murderers they did not bother to investigate crimes.

My only reaction to this tale is, I am glad Italy's police force are now fighting crimes...

"Rough Justice" tells of a "Mr. Brooks", who was in court, being questioned about a "a body" on the pavement. In his mind, the circumstances of how he was found on the same pavement as a dead body, cannot be explained properly; and so he remained silent...

Is this short tale saying that our justice system is not fair? I wonder...

When one sibling turns into a sort of "hero", the younger one stares and hopes that he would one day be as good as his older brother... We rejoice when we see children learn things; and even happier when a sibling learns and folows the older brother's "heroic" way...

"He's My Best Friend" reminds me of a hymn that I have loved since childhood, "What A Friend We Have in Jesus". This short work tells of a kind of a "friend" who will always be there for you, especially when "you are lonely, if you are in trouble and need someone to be there with you", which I quote from this work. It further says, and I quote again: "I am sure you will find Him to be one that truly cares."

It is wonderful when we have someone, a friend, we can go to, talk to, and be blessed at the same time; and become "precious in the sight of God."

This is indeed a great invitation we, as people, would gladly accept...

Review of Black in America!  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (3.5)
"Black in America" focuses on the fact that black persons are considered and thought of as "lazy, crazy, or angry." Although the thought is a general thinking, somehow this erroneous way of thinking comes down to the fact that color or sex should not be the focus but that we should "see through the eyes of Christ". It is a beautiful way of saying there is no difference at all between peoples of the world as long as we are in Christ...

Review of The music dream  
Review by elephantsealer

"The music dream" tells of a son's ambition to teach music, and how a father misunderstood what the son is all about and then realize he wants to know more of what the son is all about. The tale is a typical scene that happens in a family when children know what they want to do, and are at times misunderstood by a parent. The bright thing about this tale is that the parent did admit of what his son wanted to do... An encouraging tale for parents...

Review of Mind Games

"Mind Games" is a short article on manipulation. It strongly believes that a manipulator has a way of making someone believes she/he "is in control", and that neither she nor he are able to distinguish the manipulator's hold on either. Is the writer convincing enough?

"A Trip to the Carnival" is a short tale of the terror one feels or imagines when one is alone... The writer tells of the realization of "terror" when the noise of hundreds of people suddenly turns into a feeling of "aloneness" because of the silence... What do we do in such a situation? Do we cry out? Do we panic? What are our options?

This tale, however, tells us that "We are the hopes and dreams and future of all people gone from earth." Somehow, I tend to believe in such a "hope"...

Is the tale, "A Measured Response", a message to those who read it? It did send a clear message: be careful what you have; do not push its use to its limits because you may get hurt!!! By golly, what a way to lose one's life!!!

In our humanness, we tend to want to know what we have and own; and we also tend to forget that learning the use of something we "find" may bring us "bad luck", as in dying... The writer had a most clear-cut way to show us in her/his message... I salute this writer...

"God, What Can I Do For You?" advocaates two principles that a human can do: ask God what we can do for Him, and learn to treat another as much as one does to oneself. These are two reasonable ways to be a good human... In the meantime, I would instead ask a "neighbor" if I can do something for her/him, whether or not he is sick, in good health or just another human being because God did say: "Love thy neighbor..." and by "loving one's neighbor" we are already doing something for God...

"Not This Time" gave me a surprise. Should I concluder the boy lied to his father or shall I conclude that the boy has learned a way to get something he wants without creating any suspicion from his father? Somehow, I think the boy has learned a way to get what he wants, not realizing he may have to face his father when the truth of the money loan comes out...

"Synopsis of Viewpoint 911" tells of a Jess Black who tried to find her husband, Simon Black, who was believed to have died in the tragedy of 9/11; with the help of PI George Washington Stanley, who was supposed to be an investigator who did not believe that a case he investigates "is never closed."

But of course, the tale stops at that point; and as readers we will never know whether or not the investigation into the missing husband is every completed...or we can surmise that Simon did die during the 9/11 tragedy...

This tale is short and to the point. Every single word used became part of the story of the death of one Simon as well as Jess' part as the wife who unfortunately lost her husband...

"Faulty Transmitter" tells of a child who found an electronic contraption, and with curiosity, the child, of course, begins to press buttons, causing things to happen and happen it did, to the distress of the mother... Is there a lesson here? Maybe...

Review of Nelida  
Review by elephantsealer

"Nelida" tells of a new mother's thoughts after she gave birth to her daughter. It relates the love and the hope that a mother wishes for her daughter as she grows up; of the many wonderful things that a new mother would actually want for a daughter. For a comment, I think this mother has gone overboard with all the many wonderful things she wants to do for a daughter; and it is not really odd because mothers do go overboard when it comes to their children...

"Bill: In Honor Of" is a great tribute from a student to a teacher. In our every day life, we learn many, many things from others who are willing, able and patient to help and aid us in our learning; and giving tribute to them is one way we express our gratitude ...

Review of Man of the Forest  
Review by elephantsealer
In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)
"Man of the Forest" tells of a New Guinea orangutan that was captured through subtlety, and was compared to Americans, who apparently have dependened on buying cheap products from "foreign manufacturers" that cause the depletion and weakened "our monetary value". This is indeed a sad realization, that should give us thoughts and strength to find ways to return to farming and endeavor to produce more American products...

The idea behind this work is excellent. America has become "cheap" and we must learn instead to be aware of "the bucket of gin at the base of our tree."
