It was a normal day in Westchester when it happened. All of a sudden a weird aircraft came down out of the sky and landed. But what came out of the aircraft was even weirder. It was dogs that were walking on their 2 back feet and talking in the human language!!!! The dogs were approaching a Wachovia Bank. A witness saw the dogs approaching the bank and sprung into action. She approached the dogs and asked them what they were doing. The dogs simply did not respond and went on into Wachovia Bank. The witness was a girl named Nicole. She started thinking well what is going on? Nicole decided to call police. When the police arrived to the scene the police officer was astonished at what he was seeing. The dogs have now entered the bank and the people who were in the bank were in shock. Nicole and Officer Shine the police officer enter the bank and Officer Shine immediately commands for the dogs to freeze and put their paws up. The dogs immediately froze for 2 seconds and then began to make a run for it. Officer Shine began running after them. The bank was in total chaos!!!! The people in the bank were running around and screaming because they had no idea what was going on. The dogs were now going behind the desks to steal money!!!! Officer Shine was still chasing the dogs around the bank when one of the dogs had stolen a major amount of money!!! Officer Shine was able to capture the dog that stole the money and put the dog in handcuffs. Officer Shine then put Nicole to work. Since he captured the one dog that stole the money, Officer Shine needed Nicole's help. Officer Shine asked Nicole to help capture the other dogs. Nicole said she could try, but she was wondering how she would be able to do it. Officer Shine was able to give her some weapons to help capture the dogs. Officer Shine left Nicole in charge in trying to capture these doggie thieves, while he takes the dog he captured to police headquarters. There were 5 other dogs for Nicole to capture. Nicole was able to easily trick the dogs into a cage by laying out doggie treats. This was much easier than she thought it would be. Meanwhile back at police headquarters Officer Shine was interviewing the dog he captured. He asked the dog where he and his gang came from and the dog replied outer space. Officer Shine was extremely confused. The dog then went on to say that he and his “doggie gang” came to rob a bank for money and then return to outer space and never return to the planet earth again. Officer Shine was very surprised that the dog was telling him all this information. Since Officer Shine was still confused he then asked, “ How are you dogs living in outer space?” The dog then replied well if you really want to know the truth “We are not really dogs, “We came to the planet earth disguised as dogs, but we are really aliens”. Officer Shine’s jaw dropped open. He then said to the dog “You mean you are telling me “You are an alien that came from outer space with other aliens?” Yes the dog replied. Then alien then unzipped the dog suit he was in and showed the officer that he was not kidding. “Wow” said Officer Shine. Officer Shine then said that they had to return all the money that they had stolen or they will never be able to return to outer space. “You mean never,” replied the alien. “Never” replied the Officer. Well fine the alien said. Officer Shine then called Nicole and told her to come to Police Headquarters. Within a few minutes Nicole arrived with the rest of the dogs. Officer Shine then told Nicole all that had happened and she was in shock. Officer Shine then told the rest of the aliens to reveal their true identity. The aliens then took off their disguise and showed that they were really aliens too. Officer Shine then asked for all the money to be handed to him immediately and the aliens obeyed his command. Officer Shine said that they could now return to outer space, and to never return to planet earth again. Again the aliens obeyed the officer’s commands and the aliens were never seen or heard from again.

Questions for Peer Reviewers

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?
