Good evening Roberta, I think you did a great job with your input on “Once More to the Lake” by E.B White. I have to completely agree with you. White’s narrative was direct which appeals to some readers who can relate to the method of writing as engaging.

I love the use of dialogue throughout the story. It added a lot of meaning and helped with the development of characters. I also enjoyed how you developed both characters you wrote about. You emphasized throughout the story the innocence of Amelia by using examples like "the innocence of childhood" and "she did not want to ruin the purity she was blessed with". You also developed the character Caroline through dialogue and her actions.…
The evaluation of the story you made was well established. However, I don't think that providing or mentioning Maureen friends'' names served as boost to the story rather it was a distraction since they were not mentioned again nor the story was influenced by them. I agree that not providing the kidnapper's name eliminated any discretions from the main character. Additionally, You were able to identify all of the points, that Starkey's checklist provided, and reflect on the story. Adebayo, I think if the writer were to mention or give us more details on the kidnapper's life and traits, the story might not be considered a short story anymore.…
This short story is good enough for illiterate people who is learning the grammar and vocabulary, but I think the story could be better than this one. Sometimes, the story jump to another story that confusing the reader, and sometimes, it looks like there is a missing part of it. Such as the attitude changing of Maggie and the period of time that the story happened. I believe there is a missing part that should be explained when Maggie’s attitude change when Dee wanted to take the quilts. We can look it from paragraph 57, “I heard something fall in kitchen, and a minute later the kitchen door slammed.”…

Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 1010 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…
I really enjoyed reading both of your stories. They were based off of truly interesting ideas, and I think you had some really great moments.
