**Paste your story here:**
“I can’t wait till this weekend!!!” I said bouncing up and down. “I know isn’t it the best way to finish our senior year together?” Becky said. “Well, see you later got to go pack I’ll pick you up at eight tomorrow morning.” I said turning into her house with a wave. As I opened the new shiny door we got and had my butler take my bag and coat I ran up stairs and opened my dressing room I pulled out my newest summer clothing that I had bought just recently and stuffed all of my accessories and my new ivory necklace made from elephant tusks. After I finally finished packing my bag and went down stairs to my specially requested rib-eye stake. Then full to the top of my stomach I tried to go to bed thinking about the week ahead. The next morning I woke up to the sound of my I phone alarm and quickly got up ate breakfast and did my normal daily routine. After I finished brushing my teeth I went outside into the shiny red Porsche car and drove to Becky’s house. Her house was in the outskirts of town in an ATV van although Becky wasn’t the richest person on earth she sure was a great friend. As she came out from the van her parents gave her a big hug. I could tell this was her first trip out of the country. She stepped into the car in awe and we drove of heading for the airport. The flight was a long one and very comfortable in first class. Becky kept on thanking me for paying for the plane ticket and hotel. Once we got there we made our way to the hotel in a taxi passing beautiful scenery. The hotel was great good thing that I booked a 7 star hotel. We made our way to the room and by the time we packed all our things away we fell asleep straight away. The next day we woke up and decided that we were going to go on a jungle safari. We got to the lounge and waited for the taxi talking about how great it would be then we stepped in the taxi still chattering away. When we reached there we jumped on to the jeep and drove of looking at all the beautiful animals and the nature. We must of saw about 20 different animals. “Last animal is the elephant!!!!” the tour guide yelled. I was so excited knowing the elephants were beautiful but when we got there they were all being herded away. “Wait, where are they going?” Becky asked shocked. “Oh I forgot some people bought them because there company needs the ivory.” the tour guide said ashamed. “WHAT!!!!!NO THEY CAN’T DO THAT THAT’S ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Beck yelled. “Chill out Becky it okay they make good necklaces anyways it’s for a good cause.” I said trying to convince her. “It is not for a good cause you can buy other necklaces.”Becky said. We spent hours back at the hotel fighting our point but somehow I knew that Becky was right. I knew that she had a good heart. That was one of the reasons she is my friend. So we came up with a plan we were going to stop this company. We woke of the next morning and went to the company’s office and fought our point. Becky was a charm and we won within the next 10 minutes. And for that necklace I had I never wore it again

**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)? The plot is original, it is a true story? Did you really agree with Becky? 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? They really did not face any problems other than the elephant problem. Also include some of the other animals you saw. 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? There where not much characters other than you and Becky,and you did not put that much dialouge, and detail. 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? There was detail in the first part of the story but not the middle of the story, not on the flight, the hotel, the safari. Needs more Details. 5. What areas of the story need the most improvement? What suggestions do you have for the author? Improve a little more on the story DETAILS are imporant.
