Critique exercise

Critique of Daniel's "I never want to see you again" dialogue exercise

  • overall it is a creative piece of work
  • i like that it is told from the 3rd person limited POV of an innocent child
  • this is a creative manner with delving with the adult subject matter of 2 adults fighting about adult things
  • there are minor grammatical mistakes, it is written in present tense but sometimes deviates to past tense
  • "he stomp" should be "he stomps"
  • "she grinded" should be "she grinds"
  • "stripper slut" should be "slutty stripper"
  • "she continued" should be "she continues"
  • wrong vocabulary, "the women" but actually he means " the man and woman"
  • the dialogue is informative and exposes the context of the situation
  • it is well crafted and has good technical english skills
  • however it lacks the author's voice because it could have been written by anyone
  • perhaps the author should include some nativization to give his piece some identity
  • in a nutshell, a promising piece of work with lots of potential to be crafted better if equipped with the right skills and guidance
