Jackie Review on Tracy's short story Tracy did a great job of making the audience feel her grief anf pain in this short story with the loss of the central characters son. Writing descriptions expliang how she stayed in bed for months and how her son was her life and how great there relationship was really gives the audience a great feeling of how the central character felt. The idea of Tracy's poem was great, and when the central character found out about the preist who molested her son, i think everyone could feel the anger and pain the central character felts, and it set up a great story for revenge. The only suggestions i would have for tracy is to tone the story down a bit. Some parts of the story towards the end were a little much for me too read, but at the same time, the idea of revenge probably wouldnt have been as powerful, i would have just been okay with less detail, but overall it was a great theme for a short story.
Jackie's review on Jaime's short story
I really enjoyed reading Jaime's story because i really felt i could relate to it, or i could really picture Jaime being the central character. The idea of a girl who is just floating through the ways of life, not trying to make a statement, btu at the same time not trying to hide. i really enjoyed all the little hidden remarks one gets from the central character and how she feels about other people tht surround her. I also really enjoyed how the story ended, it left the reader wanting to read much more, and find out what else was going to happen. The only suggestions i would have for Jaime would be to give a little more closure to the story so the reader knows more about the character and what happens when she runs away, and so that the reader isnt left hanging.
Jackie's Review on Becca Short story
I really enjoyed reading Becca's short story. I felt that meeting up with someone the central character used to be in a relationship with and still had some feelings for is a good idea for a story. I felt Becca should have gave the audience so more idea of what the guy in the story was thinking or felt, maybe give him more diolgue. I really enjoyed how the audience expects the central character to want to go home with this guy, or wants to get back with him, but Becca does not take this typical route for her character. It was unexpected, and i liked that about her story. the only suggestions i have for Becca would to be add more to the story to give the reader some more idea of why the central character was back in town and what she expected to get out of meeting with and old fling. Over all i really liked the short story and felt Becca did a great job with writing it.
