Review of Boxed In  Open in new Window.
Review by JamieLynn Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with Newbie Help And Support Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.0)
*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First response: At first glance, the structure and flow was enough to intrigue me to keep reading. I was pleasantly surprised with the well developed story throughout the poem, the evident underlying theme, the paradoxal factors of good and evil both present in the world, and the want and desire of a parent or parental figure to protect their child from the world by hiding them away.
Characters: N/A
Spelling and Grammar: Consider adding punctuation, if not throughout, then atleast add commas after stanzas that sentence continues into the next line. All spelling seemed accurate.
Good Points: I really love the main theme. The juxposition of providing protection but also hindering and trapping, versus putting into danger and having to let go or worse. An interesting reperesentation of a common theme, hold to close and you crush, too loose and it'll fly away. Also, by blocking out the good, you block out the bad. You can't have the best of both worlds.
Suggestions: Just consider the punctuation suggestion.
Overall: A really well written piece, articulated and rather remarkable. I sincerely enjoyed this piece, thank you!

Rated: E | (3.0)
*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First response: Interesting juxtapose between the two pieces! One of a sunny typical day , the second a descriptive holiday festive piece. I love the paradoxical nature of the two and the way they play off and oppose each other
Characters:N/A
Spelling and Grammar: "in horizon" should be "in the horizon". Smile should have a comma after it, or a period.
Good Points: I love that you used both an alliteration and an onomatopoeia literary device in " ting ring".
Suggestions: Consider punctuating differently.
Overall:A nice juxtaposition piece that was a nice read.

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First response: Nice rhymes in a pleasant read.
Characters:N/A
Spelling and Grammar :All the occurring grammar and spelling is accurate.
Good Points: Poetic, heartfelt, and profound.
Suggestions: Consider adding or reworking punctuation, specifically commas, to make the flow your own and ensure that people read it just as you intended it to be read.
Overall: A solid poem with a serious and morose presentation , however the last two lines reallly made the biggest impact, particularly "We left knowing we gave it our all". I love that line, it's particularly haunting. ///////

Review of I Have Found...  Open in new Window.
Review by JamieLynn Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with Newbie Help And Support Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (3.0)
*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First response: Interesting peace with a heavy purpose.
Characters:N/A
Spelling and Grammar:"but never has been embraced. " should be "but never had been embraced" embraced ends in -ed which is past tense, while has is present. If you intend to keep it in past tense, which I assume you do because your writing about something that occurred in the past, the tense of entire sentence needs to remain consistent.
Good Points: Strong conviction, passionate.
Suggestions: Work on the grammar, specifically punctuation.
Overall: Good job

Aw, glad I found this. I love buffy

However a few of the first questions were overly vague and just random things you picked out to be difficult. Complex questions regarding symbolism or the characters, etc is okay but just purposelly choosing pointless questions to make it hard only goes so far. Anyway, your obviously a true fan, and I appreciate this quiz/ Thanks

Review by JamieLynn Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with Newbie Help And Support Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: ASR | (3.0)
*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First response: A different piece with a sad overall tone and a somewhat disconnected energy.
Characters: N/A
Spelling and Grammar: "Too deep Now it seeps", deep should have a comma after it, as well as after "bed" and "pain". Other than that, punctuation, grammar, and spelling seemed accurate other than that.
Good Points: Good vocabulary, and the piece is unified by having an intent, purpose, and clear message it is trying to convey.
Suggestions: Put more emotion into it, and rework the words and sentences to have more substance, a new depth.
Overall: A good basis and start that has potential to improve significantly.

and tell you I lie when I say I'm fine.
Overall: A real strong, powerful read that I am glad was posted and that I had the chance to review! Thank you.

First response: Interesting, unique. A worth while read.
Characters:N/A
Spelling and Grammar: Grammar and spelling seems accurate.
Good Points: Strong point well articulated. Good underlying theme, obvious point and purpose to the piece.
Suggestions: Not sure on the last two lines, are you sure sense and not since is what you intended?
Overall: An endearing and simplistic read worth checking out, although the flow is interrupted and the rectifying and reconstruction of the last two lines might prove very beneficial. The beginning is solid, precise, and simplistic yet profound and subtley apparent though not over powering.

Welcome to WDC from

"Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*



First response: In depth and descriptive.
Characters: Narrator has a strong overall tone and voice that resonates loudly through out the entire piece.
Spelling and Grammar: Change some of the commas to periods to prevent the entire story as being read as one long, stretched out sentence.
Good Points: Good vocabulary and syntax, with the flow coming off as organic and natural/
Suggestions: Besides adding periods to break up the sentences, and more details and insert more of an emotional aspect and perspective to the piece to round it out nicely and touch on all the main aspects a good piece of literature or a work of art contains.
Overall: A good fundamental foundation, with vivid and concise language that is well thought out, and exceptionally written and executed, although there remain some missing aspects.

Overall: A solid piece that's simplicity is under rated and endearing.

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First Response: Strong tone, conviction, and it insights interest and serves well as a prologue.
Characters: N/A
Spelling and Grammar: Consider reworking "..distracted, vulnerable" into "distracted; vulnerable to ..."
Good Points:
Suggestions: Consider making "There is no way to escape it. Nowhere to hide, to run" into "There is no way to escape it; nowhere to hide, nowhere to run."
Consider rearranging the hide and run. Run generally tends to go first, and follows the assumed logical progression.
Overall: A great preview that serves it's purpose to stimulate curiosity and interest the individual.

First Response: Emotionally resonating and overwhelmingly sad.

"ma" should be my
"siblings stuff" should be "siblings' stuff"
Good Points: Strong narration and conviction.
Suggestions: Work on the presentation, including spacing and punctuation/grammar.
Overall: Good piece with real potential!
