Review of SELENA  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi Captbike,

I love one word title on pieces of any sort. It gets the reader thinking and wanting to know more about what is going on in the piece. In stories they can add an air of suspense. That's what brought me to this article. When I read on that was it. I kept on reading.

This is a fantastic article. The title is enigmatic and attention grabbing. It tells the reader very little about what the article is actually about. They are intrigued and will begin to read to find out more. You launch into the article without introduction or preamble. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the topic and the article. You have written about the amazing, and way too short, career of Selena Quintanilla. I watched a documentary about her life about a year ago now. I had never heard her music before, and the snippits I got from the show were bouncy and wonderful. You have done your research here. You are conversant with your topic and easily make it comprehensible for your reader. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the article tedious. You use a formal, organized style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.

Review of March Goals  
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Hi Max,

This is a fantastic goals chart. You have clearly marked your progress as you went. You have succeeded in all your goals so far except doing something creative. You could probably writer more if this is your something creative. It might be helpful to block out a certain time of day to write. That would keep your into a schedule. It should be a quiet time of day to help your concentrate. Not getting this done just means you have to look into your schedule and see what can be moved around. Good luck. Being organized is usually half the battle. Great job.

Hi Gman,

I just loved the title of this one. I wanted to know more about what would be going on in this essay and how spirituality would figure into the whole scenario. Most of these types of essays reach out to offer help to others. I love essays that do that. There is, most times, little nuggets of wisdom we can all benefit from. You introduce the topic with a brief statement about your thoughts about the human experience. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the you and the essay. They will read to the last word. You have written about how a person cannot really plan for every problem because they can't anticipate everything that could go wrong. That is certainly true. The reader is delighted with the look they get at you as a person as well as a writer. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the essay tedious. I did come across one structural issue that needs your attention:

1)You have neglected to either double space or indent between paragraphs. You should remember to consistently do this to keep your writing clear for your reader.

You use a formal, organized style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.

Hi Lexi,

A couple of things led me to this chapter. I love reviewing novels in general. I know what it is like to work on a novel, and I understand how challenging it can be at times to get the chapters reviewed. The title indicates that the novel is about a family. I love novels which revolve around a family and their family conflicts.

This is a fantastic first chapter. The chapter opens with the statement that the Bentleys are mice and goes on to describe the family. You have given animals personalities like humans. I love this technique. Fabulous opening hook. The detail puts the reader all the way into the chapter. You have set up your main characters and plot very well for the reader. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. The chapter is well paced. It moves fast enough to keep all the reader's attention, yet it moves slowly enough to allow the reader to easily follow what is going on in the chapter. The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. Great job.

Hi nick,

This is a wonderful piece. The title makes the reader think the piece will be humorous.
