Look back through my narrative...

-involves readers in the story.
I think it involves the reader because in the intro I am describing where I am and what I am thinking but I don’t just say right off the back that I am in the doctors office waiting on test results.

-relates events in sequence.
I don’t jump around too much and I’m not all over the place so that’s good.

-includes detailed observations of people, places, and events.
I think I could add more descriptive detail when describing my surrounding through out the story.

-presents important changes, contrasts, or conflicts and creates tension.
I think I do a good job of setting the mood and describing what I’m feeling throughout the story.

- is told from a point of view--usually the author's point of view.
Defiantly told from my point of view

-focuses on connection between past events, people, or places and the present.
Yup

-makes a point, communicates a main idea or dominant impression.
Yup

n  I think the biggest thing that I have to fix is that it is all pretty much in past tense so I have to basically rewrite it and add present tense and dialog.
