** The Prince ** One day the king was out with his men patrolling when he got knocked off his horse by a fire ball from a demand and the men brought him to the castle for the doctors to health him but they could do nothing. the prince received the news and had to take over till the king is better but the good part is he’s a good leader and be a sub king until the king is better but the castle village is worried about the king’s health and is hopping the king will recover. A nearby country has threatened the castle and village by raiding the place because the king was the best war lord they had and the prince doesn’t have much experience so all the village people are really scared. But the ad of another castle that is close by will help them, if they get attacked by anybody but they owe them help also if somebody attacks them also. Now that the king is sick the soldiers are patrolling more carefully and the towns people are taking more precautions to be ready in case of a raid. It is nearing summer but their have been some strange sighting of some thing big and hairy creator in the woods. Some people have gone to investigate it but have not returned and people wonder and get more scared about what is going on in the forest and to the king, “everything going to be fine” that what everybody keeps saying. One day the prince was patrolling with his men and heard a scream from the forest and they ran towards it when they got their the beast was going to eat the man and they attacked it pulling out their shiny new sharp swords and new armor they dashed towards it knocking one of three of the prince’s men to the ground and the prince getting a cut in the animals left arm and the monster turning to him and attacking him and his other men cut at it to in the leg, the other arm, and a little cut in the back and the animal gave a growl to them and pushed hard out of his way running deeper in the forest. When they got back to the castle the doctors went to work healing the man he was out walking when he got attacked the healers are telling the prince the king is getting better but only wakes up every so often to fed him so he doesn’t starve but the prince has to go to a council meeting in a different castle but the village and its people are saying that when the prince leaves the other castle will attack them and their going to die when they raid. They will be dead by the time he gets back because the meeting is 3months. Today the prince leaves to go to his council meeting and promises to return if they are in trouble and after that the first in command takes over and is a good leader but not as talkative as the prince which some people don’t like about the first in command but can live with but the village wants the prince back when they get attacked. It has been 2 ½ months and their getting a little more relax thinking about if they get attacked the prince would be here in time. 5days before the prince got back they started raiding and know 3days before the prince gets back the enemy raiding camps hear a pounding of hooves on the ground and suddenly the prince leading a massive army comes out of the woods and charge on the enemies before they knew what was happening the enemies got up and suddenly were knocked down dead from the charging force and within 30 minutes of them coming the enemy force was gone and the very few survivors running away as fast as they could and when the prince got in the castle he ran to the hospital to see if the king was all right and the doctors told him the king was going to fully recover with in days and everything back together.

**Questions for Peer Reviewers**
(Think in terms of questions you would like to ask the author.)

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)?

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?

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?

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?

5. What areas of the story need the most improvement? What suggestions do you have for the author?
