Review of Revolution  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon
In affiliation with Showering Acts of Joy Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Review:

Grammar:

We will fight to the death our words our weapons you might consider commas to separate the items and give them more power.

wiht em With Me
nwo Now

Language:

You don't need to repeat the title is the body of the text.

can't you hear us screaming our ideas out to the old world?

Character/ Point of View:

First Person - Great place to come from in this poem. I might suggest that you use a little more imagery in the poem to solidify the rebellion and the need to fight.

Interest Level/Emotion of Reader:

I love people who swim against the tide. I think that once you go back through and add some emotion words and maybe an example or two, that it will be very moving.

Review of A Possum's Story  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon

Rated: E | (5.0)
Review:

Grammar:

Language:

Very nicely written. You kept it interesting while not using too big or too small word in the narrative. Conversational but proper.

Character/ Point of View:

I can sense as you go throughout the story how much you loved that possum.

Interest Level/Emotion of Reader:

He must have been a very brave possum to come into your house with 6 cats! I have 3 fat little buggers myself, and I worry about getting a puppy in case he can't keep up with them!

Review of The Beast  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
Review:

Grammar:

“But last year, on Halloween, George came up here comma here and his body was never found.

Language:

“You are too superstitious, Samantha. Halloween night is no different than any other night.”

Character/ Point of View:

There was not a lot of room for character development in a piece this short, but even without description you did a great job of separating the two children.

Interest Level/Emotion of Reader:

I enjoyed reading every bit of. The ending gave me a good laugh.

Review of 'The Incident'  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
Review:

Grammar:
'The Incident' - I know that the title is The Incident, but I feel like "The" does not belong in the title since the guard is talking about an event, not a book or TV show.

Language:
Wonderful! (of course it would be in a story with nothing but character to character language.

Character/ Point of View:
I love how you use the girl to tell the story. It creature great character and give us an interesting perspective on the tale.

Interest Level/Emotion of Reader:
The idea of the contest already gets me excited to read the piece!

I love the last line about mutiny. It leaves me craving for a little more to know what happened. I think that you gave too much away in the description though. It would have been better to go into this in the dark.

Originality:
Excellent job telling an unusual story in an equaly unusual way!

Review of Free Shipping  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon
Rated: 18+ | (2.5)
Great point with some great comments. I think that if you took this piece and turned it into short stanzas and gave it more the rhythm of poetry, that it would create a much more vivid picture of what you were trying to get across. It is such a beautiful example of what it means to be in a relationship sharing time with that person that you love.

Review of Intimacy  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Great ideas! Really give me a lot to think about since I am in my first serious relationship. Not that I haven't had my share of relationships, but this one is intimate. And your monolouge really touches on some of the points that all people striving for intimac should consider before going between the sheets. I believe you have to have intimate souls first. And I think you are right about excepting intimacy...that is the hardest part. I know I love him, but I don't know if I except it yet. Well just some thoughts from me. *Smile*

Review of E.B. meets Muffy and Rye  

Review by sdrapkinMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Errors & Solutions: Did not find many error's (Allthough I must say the story was much to interesting to look for many errors.) The only thing that I saw was a couple contractions(didn't, I've, etc) You should not have them outside of conversation in any type of formal writing.

What I liked/disliked: I liked to idea of cats saving the family from the Easter Bunny, allthough you might have wanted to make the Easter Bunny fierce.. trying to take the cat's place as cute a nd furry being in the Smith household. lol.

Overall Comments: Good job!



HAVE A GREAT DAY~!
