So this non-traditional writing style creates the sense that you are, again, having an informal conversation with Yunior. He…

From as far back as I can remember, I’ve always hated writing and this examination reminded me of just that. It has always been a burden on the right side of my back. My grandmother would continuously force me to write my name and read long books at a tender age. Shoving this information in my head was mind-numbing and repetitive at the time and that memory of boredom is etched into my mind permanently. As time passed, she forced me to do more than that. I had begun writing sentences from the…

By witnessing actions that she considers are inferior to her own philosophies, Renee’s superior-mindedness is…

I have a few small suggestions on dialogue: “It isn’t,” he reminded her, his backpack now shrugged over his…
