The alarm rings on my bedside table. I wake up practically dripping in sweat, I had the worst dream. I dreamt that I became a beast, a tall, strong, old beast. The next thing I heard after my alarm went off was my mother screaming from the bottom of the stairs for me to wake up. She screamed “Kenneth Adam Smith, get up and get dressed this instant.” I poped out of my bed and got dressed. It was a very dark and gloomy day outside so there was hardly any light in my room. My clothes felt tight and there was a slight breeze on my ankles. I looked down to find that used to be big on me, had now come p to my ankles. I looked at my shirt and I was also too short. Automaticly I thought that these clothes had to be my little brother’s. This morning I was so tired that I didn’t even care what I looked like. When I looked up in to the mirror and was shocked. This was the kind of shock that you just want to sceam at the top of your lungs! I was a tottaly new person. I touched my face and I knew it was me nut I just couldn’t believe it.

“What happened to me” I said. Last night I was a dirty smelly video game playing 14 year old and now, now I am an old 40 year old wrinkly man. This was something amazing. AT the same time I was also scared. I jumped back into bed and hid under the covers. I turned on my cell phone and called my house phone. My mother answered it and I said

Questions for Peer Reviewers - Edit by BETHANY.

1. Think of plot—is it original? (If an adaptation, is it creative or interesting to you?) What suggestions do you have for the author(s)? Your plot is original, and very interesting. I like how you add lots of details to describe the character.

2. Think about problems that the characters face. Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed? I can see that your story isn't finished, but I do like the problems that remain in this story. They add lots of tensions, and surprises along the way.

3. Think of characterization—are the characters life-like? Are characters likable and enjoyable? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions? Of course, the sweat and ripped clothing isn't enjoyable, but it is interesting. You add lots of detains and description of the plot, characters and scenes. As I say I do as well.

4. Think of imagery and details. Do they help you //see// and //hear// and //experience// the story? What details would you like to see in the next revision of the story? You have a great imagination, I can see myself in that situation, and imagine myself in the story.

5. What areas of the story need the most improvement? What suggestions do you have for the author? You have many punctuation mistakes, and a few sentence fragments. I think you need to improve on reading over and correcting your mistakes, but other than that your visual idea is great. You have a wide imagination, as well as good ideas. Overall, the first of your story is very good. One thing, it made no sence whatsoever when you said your mom called up the stairwell for you to wake up, but then at the end you said you called your mom on the phone? I really didn't understand that at all.
