Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Feedback In

I would rate the quality of my classmate's feedback as very good. They have been very supportive and positive in their comments, but also have some helpful criticism. The most useful comments are when they point out areas in my story that didn't make sense to them, or areas they think I can improve. This gives me a basis on which I can easily enhance my writing.

Feedback Out

I have very much enjoyed reading other's stories and leaving feedback as well. I use the same format most of the times I leave feedback, pointing out a lot of good aspects and then some areas I thought could improve. Reading others has given me a lot of inspiration in my own stories. So many of my classmates are very talented writers!

Blog Comments

My favorite comments to give are based on people's introductions! I love getting to know people finding similarities between us. Overall, I am very happy with how my introduction post and blog in general gives people a way to know a bit about me and comment.

Looking Forward

To make feedback more useful, both for me and my classmates, I think it would useful to see more specific comments. Some are vague and leave me not knowing which direction to take my writing, and I know some comments I have left could be more specific as well. That is something I will continue to work on to enhance other's writing the best I can

Fairy Ointment I was quick to click on this story because I used to love reading about fairies and other mythical creatures when I was growing up. I was very pleased to see that this story was very intriguing and reminded me of similar stories from my childhood. The story began by introducing a nurse named Dame Goody. One night she awoke from her sleep and went downstairs to see a small, strange looking man asking for help with his sick wife. Although she was suspicious, she decided to help him because that was the nature of her job. So, the two hoped onto the back of a horse and rode fast until they reached a small cottage house. Inside the house, she saw a sick woman with children playing on the floor besides her. The mother gave her a baby boy and asked her to rub ointment on his eyelids, and the nurse did so but was curious as to why. When no one was looking, she rubbed the ointment on her right eye as well and when she opened her eyes the small cottage transformed into a eleg...

Reading Notes: English Fairy Tales, Part A

The Old Woman and Her Pig When I read this story, it seemed as if this was written to be more of a riddle than a story. The way the story flowed and the sentences were structured was a bit unusual compared to most stories. However, I really enjoyed reading it because it seemed like something I might have heard in my childhood. The story began with introducing an old woman. She lived in a little house and she noticed one day that it was dirty and needed to be swept. So, she decided to clean the house and while she was sweeping, she came across a crooked sixpence. After discovering the pen, she decided she wanted to use it, however, she had no animals to put in the pen. To solve this dilemma, she went into town and bought a piglet. On her way back from the market with her piglet, the piglet was hesitant and would not go over a stile on the ground. So, in order to fix the problem she goes and finds a dog and asks the dog to bite at the pig so the pig would go over the stile. Af...
