The third piece of writing was written beautifully. There was such a strong emotion throughout the piece and such vivid description. Also the second writing piece was also very good, I loved how you wrote about your object by showing not telling. The first had a very palpable mood of the setting which effected the writing in a great way.

Also on the third piece of writing I like how the writer put: Noisy Streets, Roaring Motorcycles methodic chanting that was actually barging.
I felt like this brought the story to life.

I like how in all of the pieces you could clearly picture every single thing that was happening. The word choice all of them used was really good. Another thing I would like to point out is how every piece was really emotional whether in sadness or excitement. And that really helps a reader relate to the situation.

I loved how in the end of your piece, you wrapped things up beautifully. I especially liked how it said I refused to let her leave, unappreciated and unloved. It really shows how much you like this person. Great job!

These two pieces paint a picture in your mind of what it feels and looks like. Instead of have the fire made the room lighter. An example can be The warm cozy fire blazed merrily on this cold night. This is what I can picture an these pieces made me do it. All of the pieces ends were great. Every sentence did not start with I, which is great. Fantastic job to these Mystery writers

I really like how the 1st one was very descriptive. There were lots of good verbs to explain what the area looked like which was great. I really like how on the the 2nd piece, they used line breaks in a really efficient way. All 3 pieces were great. Nice job to the mystery writers!
