A pleasant hour Kiya
I'm your friend here Samberine Everose
It’s a great honor for asking me to review your piece. Thank you, but I’m sorry if just only now that I fulfilled it. Anyways here's my review, I hope I can bring you a smile.
Please remember that I'm not a professional in writing or an expert in reviewing, these are just only my humble opinion as a reader who just like to read and appreciate the uniqueness of others thru their works.
Just try to chew and ignore it, if doesn’t fit to your taste.
WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE:
Title - The title is one of the most important element of a story, because it is the first thing in which a prospective reader have their first glance and get a first impression before reading a piece, so title should have a magnetic charm that can allure or enticed a reader.
The title of your piece is very intriguing to me. I looked in the dictionary about Kalamity- but the word that I found there is Calamity, we used that word Kalamity here in our country- or in our language it is Kalamidad or Kalamity. Calamity means storm isn’t it? and storm are really devastating to life. That’s what my first impression in your story.
Plot and Format - is important also in a story, a good format of a story can attract a reader.
The format is good to me, its appealing and there's a proper paragraphing, and all the incidents are needed. I liked how you combined the sound of the clock while the memories flows in the mind of the main character, it makes it as a nostalgic sound, like when we are listening to music, there is always something that stir in our mind. Maybe, just because the clock has a sentimental value to him. The plot is really a calamity, we really don’t know what will happen tomorrow, immediate accidents that even if we think we are ready, we planned for it, but we don't expect that the goal of our plan will be 100% succeed tomorrow. This is a kind of tragedy, it really happens,lucky to those who survived.
Setting - if it's properly well written, with the correct chosen of words, it makes a nice and balance imagery, and it will not seems to be redundant or overdone.
The setting of your story is good, the words created are well, it doesn’t seems to be crowded, not redundant. And left the reader thinking at the end.
Length - A proper length of a story can enticed a reader to read a story, but sometimes a story even if its long if the words that are delivered are good it will not seem to be long and boring, but even if its short, it will seems to be long if its not properly done which makes the readers bored.
The length of your story is just good for me, because it makes me to be a part of it, your words that you delivered makes me feel and see the emotions of the main character.
Grammar and punctuation - I didn't find any word that can distract the flow, and no doubt arise.
The only thing I just wonder is why the main character forgot to pray.?
In times of calamity, in times when we are already in the midst of life and death,
We usually pray, and think also the one who create us.
Dialogue - dialogue can also allure a story, because through dialogue you can examine, or feel the character or personality of the main character.
I liked that you used some dialogue, it also makes the piece its breathing or space.
MY FINAL THOUGHT
As I’ve said tragedy, accident, even if we are already prepared on it, and plan to success for it, we don’t know what will really happen to us in the end. The creator is the only one who knows it.
Thank you for sharing this piece, and for allowing me to drop some review. I really enjoyed reading and reviewing it. I rate it 5.
Hoping to see again more works of yours in the future.
Until next time.
