Review of The Promise  
Review by Tao writer
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
This writing is exceptionally good. The reasons relate to three aspects: the use of dialogue, description and the use of question to set a tone.

The use of dialogue creates moments of real importance. The verbal interactions bring importance to certain themes in the story such as creating hope (This is what we have been waiting for...take my hand...), confusion (Hurry! Hurry!...don't let go of my hand).

Description plays a big role in this piece. The writing piece develops a picture of a father's struggle, a mother's resourcefulness, a daughter's belief in a better life and how all those hopes can turn around instantly. The way the author pictured the train station with people together, uncertainty through the use of a boy wanting to be held by his mother and describing nature changes announcing the upcoming changes in the character's world helps the transition from hope to gloom.

Lastly, the questions provided develop the story by placing expectations in a reader's mind.
