  |  | DEUX-MILLE MÉMOIRES  [13+] a poignant peek at the cultural and generational evolution of families  |
| (5.0)  First off, that picture is amazing! I can't believe the size of the bull moose! And his racks are huge! One can truly appreciate the magnitude of his size, with your grandfather being in the photo as well! Beautiful.  I so enjoyed your story. The nostalgia and love definitely shine through your words. It must be truly wonderful having such fond childhood memories, (and fun to share!). I thought you did a wonderful job portraying your story to the reader. I could easily visualize each scene as I read, and smiled all throughout. A joy to read!  The Beginning- Awww . . . Reading your words transported me back to when times were simpler. Your description of the apple orchards and trout stream, made me want to jump right through the screen. It sounds like a beautiful place to live and raise a family. Your story about your mom and dad, reminded me of the story of my grandparents. It's a shame that so much family connection is lost, due to prejudices and pride.   The Title- I didn't know what Deux-Mille meant until I got to the end of your story. I thought that Deux may mean two/double, or something along those lines. But I knew Memoires so I read on to the description. The Description- The description is nicely done and pulled me on in to want to read your story. The Ending- Wonderful, descriptive ending. It made me a little sad, that families just don't get together like that anymore. That it takes Christmas (or similar holiday) or funerals to bring the family together. I could tell how much you loved your childhood, and the stories you hold, just waiting to be told. Truly beautiful and special.  The characterization- Your character descriptions were the strongest part of your story. You brought us up close and personal with each family member you told us about. It was as if we were in your head, reliving the memories with you. I don't think you could have done so any better!  What I liked best about the story- I enjoyed the camaraderie in your story. The love and nostalgia coming from your words. I enjoyed the momentum and how your story flowed. Well done!Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I greatly enjoyed it!  WRITE ON!
