Review of Grow On, America  
Review by Michele*s Back!
Rated: E | (5.0)
As time goes on, I find that this message continues to be true - we are no longer as united as we once were immediately after September 11, 2001 - often, we now see the war as being fought "over there" and not pertinent to what is going on "over here". Thank you for writing such a sensitive piece.

This is an impressive list! As a teacher who teaches the Arthurian legend, I can definitely use this list as a reference - it is well researched and well written. You have all of the bases covered - all types of media are included. Thank you for doing this -

This is a beautiful poem - sounds like you have a great source of inspiration! I like the rhyme scheme in this one - the repetition of the phrases almost makes the poem into a song. I also like the symbolism of the seasons of the year to represent the passage of time - thanks for sharing this!

This is an excellent piece of writing. What I admire the most about it is that you took the time to research what you were writing about and had sufficient facts to back up your statements. You wrote this in a serious and non-judgemental manner - well done.

You have been working incredibly hard on this novel! I only had a chance to read chapters one and two, but I was impressed. You have great characters, a lot of action and a good use of words. You should be proud - keep working on it and I will check back later to see how it is going!

Review of The Last Guardian  
Review by Michele*s Back!
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
I get it - roaches, right? The mist is bug spray? Or am I way off - that's the way I read it, but it didn't "click" until the end (hopefully that's what you were aiming for). A different point of view, I must say. Very interesting, though - makes you think of bug spray in an entirely different manner.

Yes - some else's little neuorses can definitely cause another to become crazy! You have worded this so well and it is a humorous little piece. Thanks for sharing this logic - it's possible to write logic and include a little bit of humor in it at the same time!

Review of VIRTUES AND FLAWS  
Review by Michele*s Back!
Rated: E | (4.5)
This reminds me of a quote I once heard about virtue - "Virtue isn't virtue until it's slammed up against vice". Often those that think they are virtuous tout their virtue in order to hide their flaws and exaggerate their "good" traits - see - you've done it again to me - shame on you, making me think like this! *Smile*

I love your logic! Everytime I read one of your pieces, I find myself analyzing our little "daily sayings" the way that you do - you have encouraged me to think in such a different way about the everyday. Thank you for opening a new way of writing and thinking to me!

Excellent work! I am an English teacher and I can agree with you about one thing - the "basics" are no longer taught. To be a good writer, you need to have an underlying understanding of how the English language (or whatever language you are writing in) works. A creative writing teacher needs to focus on these aspects and help their students develop the skills to recognize how to apply basic English skills to writing.

Review of Aspies on autism  
Review by Michele*s Back!
Rated: E | (4.5)
Thank you for providing links for Aspies - I teach several students with Asperger's and there is so much misinformation that is out there about it. I think that this is an area that needs so much more research in order to help clear up misdiagnosis. Thanks!

You present your opinions in a very well written manner. You provided information and links to support what you have written about. Most importantly, you do not put down the other side or use language that is abusive or hateful. You have done an extremely well done job here.

Abdul -

You have a well crafted article here. You are able to write about a sensitive issue with the candor and straight-forwardness of a professional reporter. You use language that is easy to understand, but you don't underplay the importance of what you are writing. Great work!

This is an article that will come in handy to so many reviewers - both new and old! Reviewing helps not only the author, but also the reviewer as you stated. The reviewer learns how to look in detail at the written word and figure out how best to convey the message they are trying to get across. Great article!

Thanks for sharing this - you have provided some good information in this article. I notice just a few things:

Walking over he looked at me and asked the one question he would dread for the rest of the morning: "who are you flying with and where to?"
*Bullet*"Who are you flying with and where to?"

The excerpt above is probably the reason the average person does not fly their pet anywhere in the continental united states or abroad.
*Bullet*Capitalize United States

Suddenly the woman behind the counter looked up and asked "where is your export documents?" I looked at her with a look of astonishment and asked "what export documents?"
*Bullet*Capitalize Where and What

Is he going on the plane with you or as cargo.
*Bullet*Change the period to a question mark

Looking him in the eye I said I'm not paying $20 per cart, that's $60 for one trip.
*Bullet*Add quotations from "I'm not . . one trip."

This is a great informational piece - you have provided a lot of information here that is valuable to those who will be travelling with animals.

Thanks,
Michele

I like the logic that you use here - especially the middle part about borrowing attention and losing interest. Reminds me of a quote that I once heard -
"time is money, but money can't buy time". You have expanded the maxim out nicely and added some interesting twists!

Review of The Interview  
Review by Michele*s Back!
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is an incredible story - I can only imagine the reaction of the teacher and the author. The report stunned and shocked me as I read it. The way it was presented was in such a way that to a person unfamiliar with the Holocaust, it wouldn't make as much of an impact as some who knows about the Holocaust. Thanks for sharing.
