Katheryn:
I am: Thanks for sharing, Katheryn! I completely understand the complexities of a relationship with sisters - I have two. I'm a dog lover too! I rescued my dog from a parking lot when she was a puppy. I think it's cool that you're so into music; I dabble with guitar and ukulele, but I really admire the people who have the nerve to expose what they create to the world. I don't know if I will ever have the confidence to do that... So, props to you!
Object Inspired Story: Nice story, Katheryn! I loved that this was a personal story; I could tell by your recollection that it really means a lot to you. I remember the first time I heard the chamber choir sing Fruit Cake too, and of course the initial joy and excitement that came with it. I really loved the imagery in the beginning of the story - it made me recall some memories of my own - great job!
Karlee:
I am: Hey, Karlee! I really love the uniqueness of this piece; it feels genuine and extra personalized. I identify with a lot of the "flaws" you listed in this piece too (like staying up to late, being wary of growing up, yet also being ready to be done with high school). I can tell that you thought deep about what you wanted people to know about you. Thanks for sharing!
Object Inspired Story: Hey, Karlee! I could definitely read some of Diana's humor in this one (Tell her Charli says hi if you see her). Anyways, it's a very funny piece overall. I love the inspiration behind it, and the subtle "whatever" humors scattered throughout your writing. Keep it up!
Hannah:
I am: This is super nice, Hannah. I feel like I was immersed into different settings of your life through your words. I think you might have a talent for that! I'm a server at Fire and Ice, so I totally get that sweet-relief feeling of walking out the back doors with a pocket full of tip money. Keep it up!
Object Inspired Story: Hey, Hannah! I'm a big fan of personification, and the fact that you gave these animals such relatable struggles and personalities made me smile. Keep it up!
Taylor:
I am: Hey, Taylor! I like how lighthearted your wording is; it makes me feel super optimistic and happy. I think it's cool that all of us Springfield residents have the common memory of the downtown, Christmas street lights. I think that was a really good way for you to draw in your readers, considering we knew exactly who the audience was going to be on these pieces. Keep it up!
Object Inspired Story: Hey, Taylor! I think this piece is interesting, because even though the main character is a child, and it’s written in first person, I feel as though I can still identify with their small struggles and strong emotions. You did a great job at introducing the character in that way. Keep it up!
Ryan:
I am: Hey, Ryan! I loved the descriptions you gave of the different places you have lived/traveled. They really gave me strong mental images of what they might have looked like. Your writing style gives off a rustic feeling, and that is super unique for this group. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!
