Thanksgiving [E] One thanksgiving at one home. |
My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines. THE STORY It's a wild Thanksgiving when family members can't manage their boundaries. WHAT I LIKED That's some crazy Thanksgiving. I appreciated the ending by the time I was done! POV NARRATION/TENSE This is told in the first person by an unnamed narrator. Good job with narration. Past tense is used appropriately. DIALOGUE The dialogue accents the narration. DESCRIPTIONS The best: Sissy started to give chase, and her hind legs landed in the gravy and cranberry sauce." Not only can I picture the scene, but I can see everyone at the table looking mortified. SETTING TIME: modern day PLACE: kitchen This is something that was clarified for the reader. CHARACTERS If anything, the pets steal the show! MECHANICS I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. I might check the indentation for paragraph alignment. PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS The opening engages the reader. Our narrator tells a funny story with the comedic beats in all the right places. Good luck in the Bard's Hall Contest!
