Creative Writing Final Feedback

Read the final versions of the stories over the weekend and send me a response to them by Monday afternoon.   I'd like you to address several questions, though the response does not have to be long.  Do make sure to address each story, and I encourage you to send each writer a note in response to reading their final version.  I think everyone would enjoy it, so I've placed an email link on each story to facilitate that.  Here are some questions to consider in your response to me.

1.  Of the stories here, what's your favorite?  Which seems to be the best written?  Are they the same story?  If they're different, can you explain why you prefer the other?

2.  Comment on your own story.  How much did it improve with your revision? 

3.  What did you learn from reading other people's work and having them read yours?  By this question, I mean not what you learned about how they read your story, but about how and why people read stories. 

I look forward to getting your responses and I hope you all have a good holiday break.
