1. On the level of story-telling: if you were the King (or the aliens), would you allow this story-teller to live another day? If no,why not?
How couldn't I, I always like a good story.
2. Think of plot—is it original? (If an adaptation, is it creative or interesting to you?)
I think the plot is very original. Never heard anything like it.
3. Think about conflict. Does the story have a natural conflict? Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed?
I think the story was natural.
4. Think of characterization—are the characters realistic? Individual? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions?
I think the characters are realistic.
5. Think of word choice, imagery, and details. Do they help you see and hear and experience the story? Do any word choices need changing?
The details helped me a lot.
6. On the level of "culture"--what do you think this writer is trying to reveal about the culture he/she lives in? Summarize what this story tells/shows about its culture in a sentence or two.
I think the culture of the civilization was a little cruel, But
7. Does this revelation of culture possess much insight or show you something unique? Do you get a picture of cultural practices? Of gender roles, love relationships, family roles, habits, religious practices, beliefs, food, social expectations, etc.? Should anything be thrown out? Added?
8. What areas of the story need the most improvement?
I think the story needs more ending
9. Summarize the theme of the story in a sentence or two. Don't just summarize the story, or say what its topic is--that's not theme. "Theme" is what the story reveals about the topic. So put your theme statement in this sort of pattern: "This story reveals that (topic) is (message about the topic)." Do your best here. You'll show the writer what his/her story DOES say, as opposed to what the writer WANTS it to say.
A great escape by a boy and his bear to a better life.
10. Be specific, try not to merely write, " this was good", instead explain what was good about it and why.
because it was were entertaining
