__Characters__ - Chow (Louis I)- A boy who eats everything. He’ll eat an Oreo cakester off the floor, a yodel that was in someone’s mouth or an expired drink. He also picks up quarters from the ground. Steve the Snarf- A computer genius who could fix anything. Also is a combat ninja that goes to a dojo. Don (Me)- A regular kid, likes sports and is a comedian Smight- a word used that stands in for something surprising but at the same time random

Continued-

One day at lunch, Chow, Snarf and I (Don) were all eating granola bars and Chow says ”Oh its like granola land.” After that remark Snarf and I said in unison ”Smight!” This wasn’t shocking to me because Chow was always smight. Chow shrugged the comment off and found a quarter on the ground; man did that make his day. As we were walking down the hallway we saw a kid doing martial arts moves to the air and the ninja warrior that Snarf is he had to join in with him. I said in my head ”Smight”.

After school we were walking home and something strange happened. I tripped over a curb and hit my head. Snarf and Chow helped me up. A sudden flash blinded us. It seemed to get all around us because we heard a sudden boom like a car crash. We turned around and a spaceship was on the ground. The doors opened and an octopus –like figure came out. The creature slid up to the three us and said, ”We are from planet smight. We need your help to fix our spaceship.” Chow and I turned to Snarf. ”We don’t come in peace” said the head alien. Snarf, Chow and I were shocked. Nobody thinks aliens are real but we saw them right in front of us. They had green tentacles and wore robes and they had red eyes.

When Snarf saw the robes he said ”Smight!” The aliens were confused on what he just said so he repeated it, “Smight!” The aliens thought that we were asking where they were from but we weren’t. I suddenly realized that Snarf just insulted them. (Smight was used as a joke to us and to them it was the alien’s home planet’s name).

The alien saw that we were laughing at the remark Snarf made and he discussed with his fellow aliens next to him.

“We hear you three have made a word or phrase that you call smight. Well we don’t appreciate this so we’ve decided to kill you.” They shot laser beams at us and called in reinforces. The aliens were furious. The people in their cars sped away to the sight of aliens. The three of us ran behind a building, scarred and in search of how to stop the aliens. As we were thinking of a plan to stop the aliens Snarf thought we should fight them ourselves. This wasn’t the best plan but with the city in outrage over the aliens, it was good enough. We turned around and saw about 20 aliens. We had to fight them and I was terrified. We ran at them and fought. I looked to my left and Chow was eating the aliens and I look to my right and Snarf was doing martial arts moves on them and when I looked straight ahead I saw 5 aliens coming at me. I fought one off but there were too many. I fought another off and then I got hit in the back of the head.

I woke up and Snarf and Chow were standing around me. It was quiet, and Snarf said, “Are you alright, wake up.” I got up and saw that the city was clear, like nothing had happened. “I guess we should go home before our moms yell at us,” said Chow. “What happened?” I said. Snarf had told me I fell over the curb and was out for about 5 minutes. I asked about aliens and they looked at me like I was crazy. This all happened in my dream you can say. Wow what a dream.

Questions for Peer Reviewers Jesse = Green <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0);">

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)? I think that was very interesting. I would have never guessed that aliens were going to crash land but then it was all a dream! That was a good story. 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 satisI thiying? What could be added or changed? I think that you should have added like more detail. But other then that it was a great story. 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? Your characters are realistic. They are all human. Well Chow eats a bunch and off of the floor but thats normal. . . . .Kinda. 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? I could see the whole story in my head. 5. What areas of the story need the most improvement? What suggestions do you have for the author? The conclusion was a little unoriginal but. ..
