You have potrayed the high school behaviour of the boys very well. Looking forward to reading more posts from you soon.<a href="http://www.aussieessay.net/">essay writing service australia</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/07493733779404974448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-16868291435334281372017-10-09T01:50:40.500+01:002017-10-09T01:50:40.500+01:00George T.

High school kids doing what high school kids are expected to do today—party, party and more partying. <br /><br />The use of profanity was integrated into the story when needed, and not added as an embellishment. Too many authors interject profanity for the sake of profanity itself when it’s not needed. This story show how the correct use of it works.<br /><br />The story reminded me of my high school years back in the sixties. One of the guys in school always bragged about the really rich kid he knew who owned a corvette or Jaguar and his dad had a plane. And he was going to be invited to fly down to the Bahamas for a weekend! That never happened. The story also reminded me of American Graffiti in which the girl in the corvette teased the hell out of Richard Dreyfuss.<br /><br />Good dialogue that was believable and worked. The characters in this story came alive and I could imagine them as I read. Nice use of sensory input, for example: The cold didn’t bug me so much now that my ass was separated from the cold bench, so I stepped in place a little and puffed away waiting.The more I think about it the more this story reminds my of American Graffiti. <br />A captivating story centered around high school kids, and their wishes and wants. I think the author did a good job with this one!<br /><br />Very nice work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-29117653349938156692017-10-07T15:13:12.047+01:002017-10-07T15:13:12.047+01:00...sorry, Schnitzler!...sorry, Schnitzler!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142492723192523556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-71949279716068505922017-10-07T15:09:09.477+01:002017-10-07T15:09:09.477+01:00Of course, it's Frank's fantasy - or is it...Of course, it's Frank's fantasy - or is it? The multiple possibilities stray the reader's mind in the direction of of Arthur Snitzler's novella Traumnovelle - later to be reproduced and added to by Kubrick as Eyes Wide Shut. The posturing, the unformed minds, the pushing, the multi-entendres password, and the variable pace all work to make this a really uneasy piece.<br />B r o o k e Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142492723192523556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-73459560121034169122017-10-07T13:58:50.550+01:002017-10-07T13:58:50.550+01:00A strung out friendship between two reluctant lads...A strung out friendship between two reluctant lads - one dealing in improbable dreams.
