 * My story
 * This story I’m going to tell is about a girl named harmony my best friend she was a simple girl who thought she had no talent or no importance to the world but, she actually had the endurance and determination to save the world. Our story starts in a small town called cedar-wood Oklahoma where Harmony and her best friend Mariah were walking home from school they used their usual route walking over the bridge above the train tracks, then by the hospital, then they were in their neighborhood. The girls walked into harmony’s house got out their homework, got a snack, then turned on the T.V. and started on their math homework. Then harmony’s mom walked in she ran into the kitchen put down the grocery’s then waited by the phone. “mom what’s the matter?” Harmony asked. “nothing, I’m just waiting for a call.” Her mother replied. Harmony nodded her. Suddenly it was her aunt Linda called harmony’s mom. Aunt Linda was a scientist in Antarctica she was giving her sister an update for her safe the earth club trying to stop global warming. They talked for an hour then her mom hung up the phone. “so what did aunt Linda have to say?” Harmony asked. “well I’m afraid aunt Linda will have to return to America, the glaciers are all melting and the water is going to over flow soon, the government has no idea what to do!” Her mom replied. That night harmony was worried what the world died and the ozone layer faded what would happen? The next day at school the teacher Mr. // Scott // asked that everyone writes an essay about global warming and how should it be solved. Harmony was sitting there think trying to a simple solution or even a simple answer, then she just went blank she remember the conversation her mom and Aunt Linda had she knew something had to be done. So she continued,
 * // why must this happen we human beings should be ruling the world but instead we destroy it, the whole global warming problem starts with us! Dumping waste into are oceans, rivers, and lakes is only making it worst. Hair spray and other harsh chemicals should be terminated. Or they could be the very chemical that at a touch that will destroy trash so it is no longer a problem! //
 * when Mr. Scott read her story he immediately mailed to the president of the United States he then sent the paragraph to every president important leader around the world. then a letter was sent to Harmony from the president.
 * // Dear Harmony, //
 * // I’m so proud to tell you everything you wrote was phenomenal and I take great pleaser in telling you that were right the scientist around the world found a chemical in the hairspray and other chemicals to abolish any trash in dumps around the world. you are wanted at the white house immediately you will be pick up and fly here you and I will be speaking to every important leader around the world. tomorrow I will have a limo pick you up. //
 * // P.S. thank you!!! //
 * // sincerely, //
 * // the president of the United States of America. //
 * when Harmony received the letter she packed her bags and Mariah went with her the fly to Washington they meet the president she was shocked her little essay the one that was just her opinion how? The president explained that he had every school around the nation write this essay when he read Harmony’s he thought it was worth a try. also her teacher thought she was the answer. Harmony sat there completely confused she won a metal and was famous around the world giving speaks and for once she felt proud, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen Harmony come out of her shell. few months past and Harmony hadn’t given a speak about global warming for a while but then she got a letter.
 * // Dear Harmony, //
 * // you did it! all trash is gone no more dumping just spray and gone! I would like to congratulate you for that I feel you have grown into a stronger young lady also, I want you to be proud of yourself because the rest of the world is too! //
 * // sincerely, //
 * // the President of the United States of America //
 * Harmony learned something out of all this she learned hiding in your shell isn’t stopping you it’s you who’s stopping yourself. I wanted to tell this story  because not only did Harmony save the world, but she also saved herself for being a person that can’t be something great
 * The End

 * The End

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)? This plot is very original, but you could expand it a little more. 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? The problem of global warming was big, but it wasn't what the character was facing. YOu should start by saying she is a very shy girl, who needs to come out of her shell, like expand more. 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? The characters are good. You did a good job. 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 might want to add a little more detail next time. 5. What areas of the story need the most improvement? What suggestions do you have for the author? the beginning because you shouldn't put yourself in the story unless it is in first person, but overall it was very good.
