https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp Leave a nice detailed message for Brandon after his presentation! en-us 2017-04-04 18:17:51 UTC 2018-04-09 12:44:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164706752 The content was good, as you were in depth about why Brian was joining the army, and why he must come back home. Your use of him developing PTSD is a nice touch to the story. ]]> 2017-04-04 18:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164706752 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164711088 I really like how much of a story the item had before and after his tour than it did during his tour. The character showed growth to face challenges and he developed PTSD because he wanted to prove himself. The complicated relationship with his father makes the story have a depth I appreciate.]]> 2017-04-04 18:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164711088 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164711152 The story behind the item is quite believable, and the it's decently written. The distress that he had done on the item was decent, but I almost feel he could have done slightly more with it, like loosening more stitching like he had done in the face. I can imagine that the verbal abuse experienced in the story was a true and very real occurance in the lives of drafted young men.]]> 2017-04-04 18:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164711152 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164712541 The story was written in a very realistic take. Everything was believable from the family to the reason why he took the bear and went to war in the first place. The bear could have been more dirtied to give it a more distressed look as it looks a bit too clean, however, the loss of an arm and some undone stitches was nice.]]> 2017-04-04 18:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164712541 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164712766 I liked the story telling and how it related to the teddy bear. Went sort of in depth in the story. I also liked his teddy bear and how it portrayed him as a man going to war.]]> 2017-04-04 18:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164712766 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164714893 I like how the man in the story went to war to prove himself. I also like the meaning of the bear and how the man used it to keep him going while at war. In the end of the story, he ended up having PTSD which I believe is very realistic as many veterans do end up suffering from the illness.]]> 2017-04-04 18:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164714893 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164715090 Honestly, I really liked the story it was very descriptive and kind of well written. I wish there was more detail on the father daughter relationship. ]]> 2017-04-04 18:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164715090 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164716997 I liked that you used a little trooper bear as his item he carried as a reminder of his daughter. It sucks that he had to feel like he had to prove himself to his family, but I'm glad he took the doll in order to help him through it.]]> 2017-04-04 19:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164716997 figuejas000 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164717111 The man's motivation to join the army coupled with him wanting to carry the teddy bear to remind himself of his daughter was also nice. The added effect of the teddy bear's attire also shows his family's militaristic history.]]> 2017-04-04 19:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164717111 wattsjas000 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164717669 The bear was really cute and I liked the main characters reasoning for going to war. He lives, which is great, but the PTSD makes me sad. Overall, it was a good and realistic story. ]]> 2017-04-04 19:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164717669 https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164719459 Brian goes into the army and brings the bear because it reminds him of his daughter so he can get through the war.]]> 2017-04-04 19:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/elsong/50rcos9s8kzp/wish/164719459
