Reading Nerd

Im writitng a personal Narritive in schol about a wild class, and Im unsure aboit

the ending. It ends with me rstating a humerious statement from the begining,

and connecting it to a life lesson. Do you think this was the right craft move?

Hi, R.N.,

I know very little about your writing skills, but your idea is very good! It's always good to connect the beginning to the ending of a story, because it shows that you have a grasp of your subject, and your story is not all over the place but right on topic.

One suggestion: it's "narrative." Spelling counts. Good luck with the story. --GK--
