Character Development
A Wrinkle in Time
Meg and Charles Murry’s father goes missing and they bring their friend Calvin O’Keefe to another world to fight a monster called the thing. It was nominated and won several well deserved awards. It is a great book, well written and I recommend that you read it. A great work!

"Critique: The Great Gatsby"
Fitzgerald's portrayal of the Jazz Age excesses is vivid, but character depth suffers. Gatsby's enigmatic charm captivates, yet his shallowness disappoints. Daisy's lack of agency is frustrating. Elegant prose conveys opulence, but themes could delve deeper. A classic cautionary tale, though its potential remains partially untapped.

Dirty Dancing
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner." I remember my mother telling me at the ripe age of twelve that this is a film for every teenage girl to watch. A film that almost did not make it in the industry because of the concept with fantastic casting to boot. Worth the watch.

Charlatan
When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A nineties cult classic that has grown old gracefully, Buffy the Vampire Slayer still reigns as one of television’s most influential feminist turning points. Its moral compass and deep-rooted coming-of-age character development remain unchallenged, even amongst the vampires, daemons, and forces of darkness. Into every generation, a masterpiece is born.

Challenging Yourself to Overcome Writer's Block
A critique challenge? Just 50 words? Not sure about this. Seems interesting but hard. Fifty one words! Gotta cut something. That was fun. Another day. Too many positive ones. Should probably balance it with something else. Let me take it to the extreme, and see how many I can write?

National Geographic
What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.
