I really liked your story and how your points were very clear and effective. I think that you should try to expand more on some of the paragraphs to make them better.

ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job on your story! I liked how you kept a strong stance on your topic and stuck with it throughout the story.

If you were to change anything, I would recommend focusing on expanding your thoughts in each paragraph to add more depth and length. Other that that, your writing was great.
