I think that the ending in this essay has elucidated the central themes of the story, such as a will to prove himself and his contrive for his mother. I think that it built on a realistic way for things to turn out, but with an ending that still portrays the depth of the characters.

I think that the author’s stylistic choices greatly resembled that of the previous author’s, with words that are similar, and of course the structure of the overall page was efficiently done to resemble that of the prior’s. I think that the characters remained the same, and the wording couldn’t have been more on point.

Now, for whether or not I think this is the real author. Yes. Yes I do. They have similar, nearly exact wording and the stories line up perfectly with the central themes.

Some central themes I noticed in this one, were, of course, conquering something he had wished to prove to himself and to the people surrounding him. Another being, the fact that he did not argue with his mother, Proving to us as readers that he has changed.

The author’s stylistic choices were very similar to the original writer’s. They chose very similar wording and great sentence structure that definitely matched up well. The imagery was rather on point, something I noticed in Quietus’s as well. The only problems were some grammar mistakes sprinkled without.

I think that this is not the author, even though the characters and themes are similar, the mistakes are just too many.

This story did captivate me. The wording matching the originals and it never strayed away. Though it took a tremendous change at the end it was still beautifully written. The theme surely never left the writers mind.

The style of it just made me feel goosebumps. It was truly sad and the words left me wondering what would happen next. Not to mention the format was so perfect and matching the authors.

So, I do think this is the original author. The word choice was exact, the format was identical. I think out of all the stories this is the perfect match though I wish this depressing ending never happened. I still got to say….wow.

In this author’s ending, it didn’t quite grasp any of the central themes highlighted throughout the short story. However, I do like that it showed that he realized everyone pitied him. That was a rather interesting way to go, but I think that without showing his mother or anything of the sort, it didn’t grasp any themes that I noticed.

Now, for this author’s stylistic choices. Based on the paragraph structure and the words they used, I can safely say that they did not continue with the author’ styles in the previous pages. They, instead of splitting it into different paragraphs, kept them all in the same. Overall, not accurate, but still well-written.

So, no. I do not think that this is the real author, based on some upstanding proof. First of all, their writing style was not like original, still excellent just not the same. I also do not believe it highlighted the author’s chosen themes.

This ending of the story, in my opinion, does not really continue with or show what I think the authors original theme of the story was, and ends off where I think more would have to be shown to conclude both the story and it’s theme.

The author of this ending used a lot of visual imagery to tell the story in the form of Jerry imagining what might happen if he were to drown, as well as telling us how he felt while still under the water, such his chest tightening and his goggles trapping water in.

I don’t think this is the real author, because while the original author did use a visual style of telling us the story, it is used in this page differently then how it is in the rest of the story, with the main character thinking about what might happen. While this was used in the previous pages, it was used in very small amounts, with the story mainly happening as it goes, and not telling us what Jerry thinks might happen. The text structure is also different, with two of the paragraphs being shorter then how the rest where within the original pages.

This story was very different than the others. Though the ending didn’t quite go with the theme the original did. It is just missing something else and that would bring it home. But I must admit some of the wording did leave me intrigued.

The word choice is… fascinating. In a separate book it would be amazing! Perfect even! But it didn’t quite go along with the theme the original author had intended. And it is because of that I am lead to believe….

This isn’t the original. For one the paragraphs doesn’t have tabs, which is an honest mistake and can be troubling to do. But, if it was a separate story written by the classmate who wrote this ending I would totally read it!!!

Near the end of the story I noticed that the mother had waited a day before noticing he was gone, the mother seemed very protective of Jerry, and would not have left him alone for even a single night. The ending was well contributed to the central theme in my opinion, the years had passed and his mother still thought of the day, and the rocks that had engulfed him.

The wording contributed well to the main idea and story, and I did notice that they lined together and created the same story. The author did a very great job at convincing me (i.e. the reader) that this was the real author.

I think this is a very well rounded story, and yes, I do believe that this is not the author. Not only were the stylistic choices on point, but they created a sense of balance within the story itself, although sadly, the author did not convince me well enough.

From what I interpreted this author originally sticks with the theme of Jerry’s and his mother’s relationship. However there is a cliff hanger at the end when Jerry says “dad?” This switches the theme. Which was surprising and a great touch to the story!

The authors writing style is impressively similar to the pages we read before. Very similar word choices are used. The author does a great job portraying Jerry and his mom’s relationship and personality’s. They use words that I could totally see them saying. They use great figurative language.

However, the only reason I don’t think this is the real author despite amazing writing is the ending. This is because Jerry’s mother was mentioned to be a widow in the story. So that is why I don’t think they’d bring the dad back. I could be incorrect about this and that is the whole point of the cliffhanger and I misinterpreted it. It’s totally possible for this to be the real author this is just my opinion.

The central themes is this story were like he actually accomplished what he deeply longed for but also that it maybe wasn’t worth it since he hurt his mother. It also supports the theme that he just wants his mother to be proud of him.

Now for stylistic choices, the author used different diction and not as much figurative language as the real author. Sure, there are a couple similarities but it doesn’t strike me as the real author.

I personally do not think that this is the real author because I noticed a couple typos on the article and I know a real author wouldn’t let that happen from editing. I do think this was an excellent piece though.

Very well written! The end was showing the mother son bonding. It was wholesome and very heart warming. I love seeing relationships, fully showing he is a mama’s boy.

Though I will say that the words were different from the original. They were good words, no doubt, but not like the authors. Plus I did see a few typos and grammar mistakes but just a few. I actually had to reread a few sentences to even see it.

So all in all… this isn’t the author. The format of the paragraphs were completely different especially at the end. Plus the author didn’t use that much dialogue without descriptive words/imagery.

The central themes in this one were a little all over the place, as was the tense it was written in (eg: present, past, future). I thought that there wasn’t a clear theme that I could find, and if there was, it did not quite line up with the author’s theme, so that was confusing. I think some of the themes could have been a mother’s love or how that was the was the most important thing.

The stylistic choices were… interesting to say the least. A lot of unnecessary words and repetitive statements. It not match the original author’s at all which was quite disappointing. It was good writing, just not the same.

So no, I do not think this was the author for all of the reasons I mentioned, and because, it just didn’t hit the right way.

Oohhh, this piece was fascinating. I think the central themes in this one were that it really wasn’t worth the struggle and pain and that he really just missed his mother. I think he done it to get his mothers attention because he desperately missed it.

Now for stylistic choices I think that they used a lot of figurative language, maybe too much of it because I just didn’t really get the same vibes from this and the actual article.

I personally do not think this was the author just because it didn’t feel like the same energy and the same themes. I still thing it was an amazing ending though.

In this essay I noticed a sense of realness. The characters felt as though they were lifted straight from the depths of authorship, and were vey well described. I liked the fact that he did not want to worry his mother, and that he felt a sense of knowing that he would be determined to get out alive.

The stylistic choices in this authors writing were very impressive, the tone was very real, and convincing to me. I’m glad that Jerry learned his lesson, and was with his mother in the end, the choice of words and theme development, were spot-on and I believed them. I gave in to suspending my belief as well with this author, I could really feel the imagery.

As to wether or not I believe this author is the real author, I do. The developed theme was very descriptive and I believed the story, as well as the characters. I think the author did a very great job, and I think that Jerry overall, learned a lesson in the end.

I think the theme of this story could be either triumph and beating past goals. Or maybe a bond between Jerry and his mom? It might fall under both. Either way it was an awesome story!

This author figurative language sticks with the author in my opinion. “Much like the leaves off the trees in England in the autumn.” This matches the location of the story. This author did an amazing job!

Even though this story had me questioning if it was the real author, I ended up going with the decision that it wasn’t. Just a few small details I noticed made me think it wasn’t like the grammar and how he was able to walk towards her right after he almost drowned. Then again a lot of the lines were absolutely great! It was still a wonderful story!

I think the themes of this one are probably that it ended of being something significantly just for himself and proving that he wasn’t just a weak child. He wanted to prove that he was tough and capable.

I think that this story didn’t really use a lot of figurative language and it used simple diction so it kind of threw me off slightly. Also the structure and spacing of the piece was very different compared to the authors.

I personally do not belief this is the author because they used so many different techniques that it is just kind of hard to tell . I think it was a lovely piece though.

I think the authors of this page did well in conveying the original theme of the story, as the messages from the first pages remain in this one and are shown in similar ways.

The author used a visual style of telling both the story and theme very similar to the original author, giving the reader an idea of what is happening and being able to imagine it well. The author also described the events of their story good as well.

While the author did good at writing this ending, I don’t think this is the original author for two reasons. One reason being that in this ending, Jerry’s mother managed to find where he was and where he was about to drown. I don’t think this would be impossible, but nothing in the first pages tells us that Jerry’s mother knew exactly where he was, or that Jerry had told her. We also don’t know, as the reader, how deep he was, or if it was possible for his mother to reach him. My second reason is that at the end of the story, A man shows up supposedly being Jerry’s father, when it was clearly stated that his mother was a widow. Meaning that his father most likely is dead, but if he wasn’t, I feel it would have made sense to hint at him being alive within the original.

This particular author surprised me, I think that as the story continued a followed a central theme that it was in fact real.

I like that the author added in the saving of Jerry, to the boys. By default this piece is my favorite. In my opinion any of these could have been the real author and they showed a great sense of detail, and description.

The stylistic choices of this particular author had me hooked! I loved the picture I see in my mind when I read this, and overall? This, I think, is the author. The central idea and theme, both contributed to the style and writing of the piece.

As the story progressed I noticed there was a crack in the rock too…so why didn’t he break free then? That was the only part that kept me guessing.

I do believe that this is in fact the real author and was happy to read it! The style and writing were by far one of the greatest, I love reading other peoples work too, just to see how I was lacking in mine. The author did a very well balanced piece and I can honestly say, that this is my choice.

This ending could once again fall under a lot of themes. My best guesses are maybe a mother’s guilt? Failure to prove oneself? Maybe at the end how time washes away the memories of someone’s life or story? I’m not entirely sure.

Lots of well written figurative language in this story. Amazing word choices as well. I also like the way the author depicts time passing. It matches the original story perfectly in my opinion. Every word I can see the original author saying.

Im convinced this is the real author. Everything matches up. I would be shocked if it wasn’t. The writing is so impressive.
