1. What are the strengths of your partner’s essay? Why? My partner told a very sad, strong story. It was inspiring how strong she was to experience the death of a best friend, and still managed to get through it. I loved the way that the story flowed, and made everything easy to read.

2. What areas could use improvements? In other words, what suggestions can you give

your partner that will help his/her paper improve?

My only suggestion would be to give some descriptions of what Darian looked like. I would have loved to be able to imagine what he looked like throughout the story.

3. What is your favorite literary device used in your partner’s essay?
I love how she used the word 'vivid' to describe her memories, and she also included some important details about the memories she had with him.
4. What is the part of the paper that stands out as the most "catchy" or important?
Everything. The title was very catchy, and made me wonder what had changed her life on April 5th. The first paragraph was catchy because she mentioned how she never saw anything wrong with her best friend, and that she excepted him for the person her was. It was a well written story that was very heart warming and inspiring.
