READERS'
REVIEWS
"An entertaining piece though a bit wordy.
It could use some trimming. The author's sincerity shows. As a publisher I would consider
publishing him if he would like to contact me." -- Sharida Rizzuto, New Orleans,
Louisiana, USA
"This piece makes Coffee and Bazooka Joe
chewing gum assume previously unknown heights of metaphysical grandeur as the author
recalls his father in a moment of freedom on the road in an all night diner. If I were a
publisher, I'd keep this one." -- Hengist L. Knauss, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
"Hey, enjoyed it. It needs some refinement.
I'm able to feel and join Jimmy in his moment." -- "Evaughnc", Kentucky,
USA
"I found it interesting, Jimmy, however I
felt that you were just giving me streams of consciousness reports at one moment and that
it didn't necessarily all point to one emotion you were trying to elicit." -- John
Santino, USA
"I was getting into the article because
when I am on road trips, I look forward to going to gas stations for a bite to eat. I also
like the description of the colors and food you see in the candy aisle. I want to go on a
road trip right now." -- Ryan Betustak, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I liked this! There's some
grammar/punctuation issues, but that's no prob. The concept is great, and good
descriptions. Nothing hits the spot like a cup o' joe and a candy bar! Also liked the
sentiment in the Bazooka comic strip. Nice! You should continue with this..." -- Kim,
New Jersey, USA
"I feel that the idea behind the story is
good but it needs work. It seems like you were struggling with the words. The rainbow isle
of candy comment just doesn't blend with the Truck driver and bazooka gum story (I think
you need to take out the candy isle and snickers and work with the story of your father
and the truck driver). Good luck!" -- Kelly, Williamsburg, Virginia, USA
"Very good story, anyone who has been on a road
trip can relate to this story. Makes you laugh because if you have ever been in a all
night gas station all the same things have happened to you." -- Jason Brown, Huntley,
Illinois, USA
"He took me through a simple moment that we
experience in our lifes and I loved it. I felt like I actually went to the gas station
with him. It makes you just want take a roadtrip and stop for coffee and treats." --
Colleen Clark, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I felt impelled to go on road trip! I liked his
descriptiveness of the gas station and what it felt like to stop and get some food. I have
same feelings when I pull a all night road trip. There are a few grammer problems but
nothing that a good editor can't fix. Publish it!" -- Chad Howell, Normal,
Illinois,USA
"This essay was very interesting, his life was
pretty much told in those few papragrphs. The way he used snacks and a cup of coffee to
describe how his roads trip are was unique. It could have been a bit longer, but it was an
interesting essay that told alot about him." -- Brandi Johnican, Normal, Illinois,
USA
"This essay was great. I liked it because it is
unique and I can relate to it. I love having a late night fix of caffeine with my friends,
and I know how little things like coffee and candy wrappers can stimulate the mind. I can
always fall into memories from the simlpest thing like a cup of coffee." -- Jessica
Miller, Springfield, Illinois, USA
"Great descriptions of the candy isle.
It made me think about the smile that comes to my face everytime I enter a small
little convience store on the side of the road. Also, the enjoyment that you got out
of Bazooka gum made me remember how much i used to love it. I want to go get a piece
myself. " -- Gail
"Very nice story,
easy to relate too. Long trips and all you need is a couple bucks and memories and you are
set." -- Jeremiah Dorl, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I really liked this
essay. It's so childlike but true. It made me think of how it's amazing how
the little things in life are the ones that keep you going even when the big things aren't
going your way." -- Kim, Illinois, USA
"The story was very compelling, decribing
the most tiniest of details, that makes for vivid expression of emotions. His vivid
use of words and how he describes things was very refreshing, it makes us think of the
smaller things in life that we take for granted. If he could further go into his
memories about his father, that would make the essay ideal." -- Kris Balleza, Normal,
Illinois, USA
"A good
essay. What I find the most intriguing is the underlying innnocence of a story that
seems so simple on the surface, but surely is so much more complex." -- Drew, Normal,
Illinois, USA
"Ok, WOW! Excellent piece for teens and anyone else who
doesn't know exactly where they're going in life but don't care. This article used
descriptions very well It put me in the mood to go out and drive till the sun comes
up....."with no particular place to go!" -- Courtney M., Normal, Illinois, USA
"Very welll thought out. I totally had a visual picture in my mind through the
entire essay!" -- Rick Nystrom, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Although I just scanned through the
essay, I knew it was totally excellent. He expanded an experience usually dismissed and
taken forgranted into a memoir that a lot of readers will definitely never forget."
-- Abi, Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA
"Frankly this read like something
written by a high school student. You used different tenses (past and present) in
the same sentance. You also used different points of view (first person, third
person, and second person!) in the same sentance. "You walk down the isle and
find what I'm looking for...") I mean come on! And "you have like three
dollars". Like, Really? Like, wow!" -- The Critic
"I love it. It's simplely put and
worded just write and you feel a certain nostalgia while your reading it, thinking to
yourself that you know the feeling that you have been there before. Or maybe you were the
trucker or cashier... wonderful." -- Katherine Krahl, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA |

hope." -- Jim Toscano
"Nice work, your story makes me hop."
-- Fred, USA
"Okay, a little cynical can we say? Sure.
But he had got some good ideas. I like the Olympus analogy. But is hate really stronger
than love?" -- Lee Brickhouse, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Good stuff overall. Thouh I think that
hate isn't stronger then love it's just more accessible and easier." -- Oliver
Brackenbury, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
"Your work holds much truth to it. Most find love,
but with hate attached to the end." -- Dave Friddle, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I like all your analogies, they make you think
about things a little more. Good job!" -- Erin Johnston, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I like this essay.
It made think about different events and aspects of my life. It was also
short, sweet, and to the point." -- La Tanya Johnson, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This essay is a good
way to state that you should go for what you want. Things may only make sense in
your mind, but you've got nothing to lose by trying to obtain what you desire." --
Joe Kalis, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I really understand
what you're talking about and it has a good meaning." -- Snoop Dogg
"Very cool story! The
creativity and the realism make the story happen. I felt like I was in the coffeshop
filling up a cup of coffee." -- Matt Voss, Normal, Illinois, USA

a lot of thought and feeling in your essay. Some of your thoughts need to be
reworded and made more clear. Make sure you can get across your main point to
readers of your essay." -- Gavin Pearson, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Dear writer, how
about musing over the full half of the glass? Life is so short! If you spend it thinking
over life." -- Madalina Vaduva, Osaka, Japan |

READERS'
REVIEWS
"Enjoyable and moving."
-- Edith
"A very moving story.... It reminded me of my friends, come and
gone...." -- Rima "Melysni" Chaddha
"Very emotional and moving. You have the ability to put
your heart into a story. Keep up the good work!" -- Mary, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
"I think this story was very well written. It reminds me
of all the funerals I went through. The author put thoughts that I had into words I could
never express." -- Julie Pauls, Elmwood Park, Illinois, USA
"I really enjoyed the essay. It reminded my of how people must
have felt when my cousin passed in a tragedy. It make me feel good that people have their
own ways of dealing with a loss, which is the way it should be. People know others in
their own ways and saying goodbye shouldn't be different." -- Beth Cunningham, USA
"I think the author did a great job bring out the feelings of
this essay. After reading it I was, to say the least, moved and remembered the passing of
friend as if it was yesterday." -- Kyle Smerko, Rockford, Illinois, USA
"Such a well-written essay. Very dynamic, and enjoyable."
Ann West, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This was a very touching essay. Sadly, I can relate to
watching friends come and go." -- Renee Edlund, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Very emotional, makes you think about losing someone close to
your heart. It also makes you appreciate the time you have with your friends." --
Krista, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Well told story filled with sadness. I felt like I was back at
a time when I lost a loved one." -- Liz Rauch, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This story was very well written, and very moving. The author
has a way of putting his feelings and emotions into words so we can understand what he was
going through. The story made me think about all of the family and friends I have lost. It
made me think about how much I appreciate all of the friends that I have now, and how I
should never take anything for granted, because one day it will be gone. Good job!"
-- Tina, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Your essay really moved me. While reading I thought of
funerals that I've been to and your depliction sounding just like the ones I went to. Even
though mine was for a family member I know what you went through. Very good essay."
-- Michelle Talman, Wadsworth, Illinois, USA
"I know how it feel to lose a friend. There are many different
ways to lose a friend, but they are all hard. The hardest one is to death and it is hard
to get over the essay tells exactly how evryone acts during a funeral. Trying to make
everyone remember that person as they were when they were alive. In the end you can do
nothing but remember them in the past and only wish that you had a future with them."
-- Barbara Talowski, Hickory Hills, Illinois, USA
"I thought that the essay was very
moving, and I thought that by the author saying "Goodbye Clarke," after every
paragraph made it even more powerful." -- Katy Henkel,
Normal, Illinois, USA
"This is a very touching
story! It kept me reading until the very last sentence, waiting to hear more about
this man." -- Jill Salems, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This essay is very
well written, there seems to be places that there are words missing, it may be from the
transfer from paper to internet, re-reading can solve this. Very touching
story." -- Jessica, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This was a very
touching essay. I think it helps that most people can relate to what the author has
to say. Even if we haven't lost a friend close to us, we realize how hard it
would be. And we are thankful for the friends we have. The author reminds us
not to take them for granted." -- Tara, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Your essay was very
personal and compasionate. I could tell that you put your heart and soul into this
essay by the things you say. After rading this essay it helps me realize how
important friends are and we should cherish them while they're still here." --
Michelle Harris, Normal, Illinois, USA
"A very pointless essay. I guess
reading the essay was also a figment of my imagination." -- Kenny, Illinois State
University, Illinois, USA
"The story is very
touching. It is easily related to. Everybody has someone that has made an
impact in their life by just being a part of it. It is true, some things are true
whether they are said or not. This piece emphasizes the importance of friends and
family." -- Serena Vazquez, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Very touching, well thought out, lot of
inner soul in it." -- Rick Nystrom, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Very poignant.Very
well written. I think when one has lost someone very close to them, and only then, can you
feel the passion and emotion of this essay. Goodbye Harry...." -- Barbara Carey,
Norwood, Massachusetts, USA |

REVIEWS
"Moi, I was in Finland for 3 weeks
in '95. It was a wonderful experience for me that I will always remember. I went and
stayed with my Finn friend in Lahti. I was also in Helsinki, Turku, Mikkeli, and
Lappeenranta during my stay there. "Make a Finn friend, and you have one for
life!" They are loyal and true people with big hearts. Her family's hospitality and
kindness I will always remember. Their language IS a very difficult one to learn.
Fortunately, most of them speak English as well - I would have been absolutely lost if
they hadn't! Keetos for the shared appreciation of Suomi." -- Leah, Woodstock, NY,
USA
"Belkis: I�ll definitely have in
mind these reasons if I ever go to Finland. Your experience seems to me very
interesting." -- Luis Maria Cano, Madrid, Spain |

The Child That I (Never) Knew |
AUTHOR
Samantha
Carter |
DESCRIPTION
This essay discusses the ongoing issues of the author's struggle
to remember an innocent childhood she never had, and yearns for still. [600 words] |
READERS'
REVIEWS
"Very deep and sincere, growing up to fast
is an all to often occurence." -- Patrick Collier, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I found that this essay was well written
and explains the trauma one woman went through by being forced to grow up to fast and how
it still effects her today. I found this essay very sad but am glad for the fact that I
know think of myself as having more possessions than I ever could have known." --
Susan Long, Normal, Illinois, USA
"It is uncontrolable at some points in
everyone's life because growing up is inevitable. Not being able to have a childhood is
not always the best for everyone, but if it happens, it was meant to happen. I read your
little profile and if I read the right one, it seems that you still have a lot of your
life to live. I have not been in your situation. I do not know exactly why you grew up too
fast. You did not explain the cause of your missed childhood." -- Stephanie Weber,
USA
"I think that in today's society the
children are growing up way too fast. Parents need to realize that their children need
love and support. The children also need a time in their live when they can make mistakes
and still have the comfort of their parents to protect them. Samantha Carter wrote a good
piece that needs to be thought about because there are a lot of people out there who have
not experienced a childhood. And as these people grow older it is time for them to
experience a piece of that childhood before it is too late." -- Lauren Mennenga,
Normal, Illinois, USA
"Reading this story brought back memories of my
own childhood, and made me glad I could remember it. Written very well!" -- Anne
Sullivan, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Your essay is very good and interesting. You are
not the only one that thinks they missed out on their childhood." -- Yolanda
Gallegos, Chicago, Illinois, USA
"I feel deep compassion for this particular essay.
Many of todays youth are growing up way too fast and do not even realize it. It is good to
know that there is a role model out there that knows what it feels like to not have a
childhood. I sympathize with you and I also applaud you." -- LaTonya Thompson,
Normal, Illinois, USA
"I felt that this essay was well written. Many
people often feel that they have lost their childhoods and there is nothing they can do
about it. Childhood is the most important time in your life and it should never be
lost." -- Kate Kahoun, Normal, Illinois, USA
"The emotion in this article was quite
overhelming. The author makes you feel as if you know her pain, and lonliness. This
article was very touching, and a great way to help others relate to what it's like to grow
up to fast." -- Mai-Lee Ua, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This is an excellent way to express your feelings
of a forgotten childhood. I think now days everyone trys to grow up to fast. Then when it
is to late they notice how much they have missed out on." -- Kristin Pettersen,
Normal, Illinois, USA
"The article was well written, but I was a little
confused about why she missed her childhood. Who was the soul mate? The essay was good,
but it could use some more explanation about what went on to make her miss her
childhood." -- Christin, Bloomington, Illinois, USA
"I liked this essay a lot. I felt it gave very
desrcripive words which made me feel for the author. I do however think that it was her
choice to miss her childhood. She could have done whatever she wanted to do." --
Brittany Buechner, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA
"The way the author told the story gave me the impression that she didn't want
someone to feel sorry for her, but hse wanted to go back into time to change what she had
done. I think the main point that she was trying to get across is the fact that everyone
makes mistakes in life and just try to live life your fullest." -- Jennifer, Normal,
Illinois, USA
"I was confused at
times reading this essay. You don't say what caused you to lose your childhood.
I'd explain and give more examples about why you feel you never had a childhood and
what factor or factors made you grow up so quickly." -- Bridget O'Brien, Normal,
Illinois, USA
"While the essay was
well written, and payed extreme attention to detail, I believe that the core of the piece
was lost in the language and "build-up". Perhaps if more attention was
payed to the cause of the lost innocence, the effect would be easier to follow, and more
justified." -- Meghan McNeeley, Downers Grove, Illinois, USA
"When reading this
essay a lot of memories pondered through my mind. I know of a girl who lived her life to
fast and never didn't experience a childhood. She wanted to grow up to fast and experience
things at a very early age. I never understood why she wanted to grow up so quickly.
Many people think that once you have found something that makes you feel good you should
just run with it. But you shouldn't, let it grow and experience it day by day and don't
rush. There are plenty of days, so why rush anything?" -- Jenny Millage,
Normal, Illinois, USA
"Well-written but a
little vague. It gives the essence of all your experiences but it kind of keeps the reader
hanging. A narration of the actual experiences wouldn't be bad." -- Abigail Copuyoc,
Pembroke Pines, Florida
"It is very sad that
people grow up too fast and miss out on their childhood." -- Lindsay Rucks, Normal,
Illinois, USA |

"[Thoughts on Mothers] Wonderfully
written Sandi! You brought up a lot of memories, feelings, and emotions in me. Keep
writing!" -- Michael Powers, Wisconsin, USA
"Sandi - I enjoyed all three of your
essays. Very well written. Keep on writing for sure." -- Elaine, Cedartown, Georgia,
USA
"I so enjoyed reading Brock's thoughts on
mothers. As a mother, I could relate to much of what she wrote. A lovely dedication to a
worthy group of women!" -- Susan R Franzen, Bloomington, Illinois, USA
"I enjoyed each and everyone of your
stories. The very first one made me think of my mom. All the feelings you described in it
are the exact same feelings my mom said that she had when she had me. Granted I am not a
mother and would not understand all of these feelings, but they seem very special. Keep
writing, you are a great writer!" -- Nancy Northcutt, Illinois, USA
"I really enjoyed reading your "thoughts on
mothers" essay. Although I am not a mother, I hope to be in the near future and your
essay has made me excited and gave me a realization of how special of an experience
motherhood is, and what a strong feeling it brings. Also, I agree that we are blessed
because only women can conceive. Many women take it for granted and some even complain
about it!" -- Amy Fritz, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Great writing! It reminds me how important my
mother is to my life. I felt so much emotion and love coming from your writing." --
Jiro Nakazaki, Normal, Illinois, USA
"I really enjoyed reading your essay about
mothers. It was very well written, and everyone can relate to it. It made me realize how
important my mom is to me. I can't wait to be a mother and experience all the things you
wrote about in this essay." -- Marcey Etheridge, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Your essay on mothers was
great. It got me to think about how great mothers really are- including my own,and
how proud I will be to one day have that feeling and responsibility of
motherhood." -- Brittny, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Your essay raised
many question about the crisis in Kosovo, but never attempted to answer any of them.
This essay would be more effective if you supported you ideas with evidence and
answered all the questions you asked." -- Phillip Johnson, Normal, Illinois, USA
"Your Essay on
Mothers was fantastic! It made me want to go home and call my mom right away to tell
her how great she is! Well written and you obviously know what you're talking
about." -- Abigail Hursh, Normal, Illinois, USA |

"Anna, Spoken like a true patriot. I too
love my country. My husband also seems to think the grass is greener on the other side of

writing." -- Mary, Ontario, Canada
"I can see your point. I love Canada, well

very well." -- Stephanie Weber, USA
"This essay was not
only very descriptive, but it was also fun to read. Ann did a great job of keeping
me interested and I enjoyed what I read. It also had a very good point behind
it!" -- Albert Margis, Normal, Illinois, USA
"This story is very
touching. The images you create in my mind are very powerful. The
incorperation of "Oh, Canada" is a great idea." -- Phillip Johnson, Normal,
Illinois, USA
"I winced when you
criticized my city, but I suppose we do have some environmental problems. Yet Toronto is
a beautiful city, the most diverse in the world, and a vital part of Canada. To say
otherwise would be ignorant." -- Kevin, Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
