Frederick Said:

Can you review my summary for the book The Lottie Project?

We Answered:

Wow. That was a very good summary (especially if you are between the ages of 10 and 12 yourself).

Robert Said:

Has Obama ever held a "real" job before become POTUS?

We Answered:

Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.

Obama served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid against a Democratic incumbent for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he ran for United States Senate in 2004

Chad Said:

will someone read my book review and summery and tell me what you think?

We Answered:

there are some spelling and grammar mistakes but who doesn't make those. also it would have been helpful when reading it if you had said when the story was set. also a few verbatim quotes from the story would help the reading understand why she feels the way she does. the last part you become a little to familiar with the reader sometimes this is fine its the way i would write it but some teachers don't like that.
good luck and keep on reading.

Nicole Said:

could you please review my story im writing its only one short chapter let me know what you think....?

We Answered:

i wont complain about the appalling spelling and grammar because i think you are aware of this already, as you said at the beginning and end. as long as this is corrected, i think you should continue.

you seem to have some interesting stuff going on up in your head! i loved the comparison between the man in the neat suit and the man with the battered boots. i can pick out various other parts which i liked.

BUT; i think that to reveal that the boy is in prison in the first chapter is going too fast. it gives too much away in just a few sentences. i think to make it more interesting, describe the place- the dim colors, dank smells and the general bleakness of it- without telling the reader it's a prison. it will add suspense- could it be a sewer? an abandoned mine/cellar/castle? could it be his house?!? see what i mean?

also, you need to improve your dialogue a little. i think that you could add much more suspense by doing this. don't make it necessarily longer, that would just drag, but make it more clear. make each person who speaks have a reason for talking, make each dialogue necessary.

good luck. you need to do a lot of editing, but don't give up on it. all first drafts are rough and unready. all you need is organization in your writing. it will make it easier for you to write, and easier for us to read!
