Review of Who's Who?  
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
A well written fictional article that aptly portrays the narrowmindedness of many people who judge people without really knowing them. I like the example you gave as it gets the point across that under our skin we are all the same, just as God made us. Keep the words flowing, write on.

A nice essay which I enjoyed reading that made me think back to some of the wishful ideas I tried to persue as a youngster. As I read it I could mentally picture the events you portrayed in the essay by the use of discriptive words that conveyed your thoughts, feelings, and actions throughout it. However, there were some areas that I found I would change if I were editing it. In Para. (1) I'd use a "comma" after "airplane" because it adds "emphasis"
to what you said. Also, I'd write "then sail" instead of "and sail" because using "and" too many times in a sentence interrupts the flow of the words. In para (2) You have "and" between "I--gazed" and "house--while". They are not needed. I would drop the "and" after "catch me" then write "lifting me off the ground". In para. (4) I would drop the "and" after "breeze" and use "while over and over etc". These are just some suggestions that I feel
would help some of the sentences flow better. Write on.

An emotional, heartfelt, poem that I enjoyed reading. It is nicely written with many words that convey your deepest thoughts and emotions about the one you love. As I read the poem I could feel the love and concern flowing through all those discriptive words. That, for me, is what poetry is about-evoking feelings in the reader. Write on.

Review of Bumble Boy  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
A sad, emotional, heartfelt story that is nicely writtten. I like the way you presented it as
it held my attention from the start to the conclusion because the beginning had me
wondering what had happened to the boy. As I read the story I felt his yearning for his
father`s approval and pain at the cruelity of his father`s words. Then, the terrible accident
that dashed his dreams of being a great pianist. Keep the words flowing, write on.

An emotional, heartfelt, and well written short story honoring our new President, Barack
Obama. You express your thoughts and feelings with words that enable the reader to
feel your emotions flowing from them. Like you, and millions in our country, I watched the inauguration with pride that our country has elected such a man to become our 44th
President. He reminds me of JFK, whom I had the honor of seeing up close when I was in
high school, before he was elected as President. He, too, had strength of character and
great visions for the future of America. Keep the words flowing, write on.

Review of Home and Garden  
Rated: E | (4.5)
A nicely written short story with a happy ending that I enjoyed reading. I liked the way you presented it from the man`s point of view by revealing how he felt when returning to the doctor with his wife to find out the final results of the cancer tests. As I read it I could feel his anxiety and depression, thinking there was no hope, then his elation when the doctor said he felt it was curable. The only error I noted was you used ( ' ) for quotes instead of ( " ). Otherwise, a good story. Write on.

Review of Galmoos  
Rated: E | (4.0)
An interesting and educational story about the people of Galmoos that I enjoyed reading. I liked the way you presented it by giving a little history about the people there, then using the boy through the rest of the story. You expressed his thoughts and feelings very well. As I read it I could visualize, in my mind, the events that you described. I did notice some errors where you left out an "a" and "the" between words that was necessary. Also, the lack of a "comma" in some places. Write on.

I enjoyed reading your poem about Celebrating Perfection. I liked the way you presented it by using many discriptive words to convey your message about the ups aand downs of engaging in competition. As I read the poem I could feel the emotions that you wrote about
and picture the events you portrayed in it. Your rhyme was good, also. One suggestion I have is to drop the "But" in front of the two sentences you put it in. I feel it takes away from the statement you are making with the sentence. Otherwise a good poem. Write on.
