https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n What are some strengths in the story and weaknesses? Also, what’s your general opinion of the story. Be honest, but not cruel! :) en-us 2020-10-06 13:58:08 UTC 2020-10-07 12:11:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866710 I thought a weakness of the story was how the progression was kind of slow. However, I think a strength in the story was its strong imagery and details. Overall, I thought the story wasn't bad.]]> 2020-10-07 11:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866710 22basevedo https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866898 I think that the story had good language making it very descriptive and providing good imagery. I also felt that the story felt very real and was quite realistic. Jude experienced difficult things throughout his life and it helped make the story very human like. I think a weakness of the story was how long it felt to read. In my opinion I didn't hate it but it definitely wasn't my favorite short story and I didn't feel like it grasped my attention very well. ]]> 2020-10-07 11:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866898 https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866902 The story is overall very gloomy and I can't help but feel sorry for the boy. I still don't understand how a mother could leave her son. The imagery and her way of words painted a lot of scenery and depiction for me which was very well written but the story itself was definitely a sadder and duller one in comparison to most short stories which are meant to be more enjoyable like the first short story we read.]]> 2020-10-07 11:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866902 https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866982 The strengths of the story were that I really liked the type of language she used and how she described things. Also over all I did like the story, I liked it more than Haunting Olivia. However I do think that the story jumped around alot and it was kind of confusing to follow]]> 2020-10-07 11:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809866982 22nguerra https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867147 Strengths: I liked the way the author would describe things as if we were actually thinking like  the main character. 
I thought the type of story was different from what I've read before, but it was still an eye grabber.]]> 2020-10-07 11:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867147 22lmoylan https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867178 I think the forward motion of the story and how the author moved the plot along was done well and she didn't spend too much time on one thing. Each element of Jude's story was given the right amount of time. Some of the transitions from one spot in Jude's life to another were a little difficult to follow so there were times when I was a little lost.]]> 2020-10-07 11:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867178 22jgattuso https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867285 I thought the progression of the story was very slow. The story has little to no flow and it is hard to get into. A strength of the story in my opinion was the plot. Although the progression was slow I thought the plot was good. Overall, the story wasn't that bad of a read.]]> 2020-10-07 11:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867285 22jcolucci https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867887 I think the language and style of the story is super well written but it moved very slowly for me.]]> 2020-10-07 11:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809867887 22lberrigan https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809868299 Te stories strengths were the details used. In my head I could imagine the scenery and had a good idea of what the swamp looked like in my head. Jude had an unlucky life but in a way he also came out okay, with enough money, a wife and daughter. ]]> 2020-10-07 11:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809868299 https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809870631 Overall, I think the stories use of its language was extremely well done and Lauren Groff is a very well written author. A weakness would have to be as everyone else said that the story was very slow.]]> 2020-10-07 11:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809870631 https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809871287 A strength of the story is how well written it is. I don't need to go back because I got confused and couldnt understand it. The weakness is how long it is. It's hard to stay focused when the story is really long.]]> 2020-10-07 11:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809871287 22ddukas https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809872289 Strengths in the story would be good imagery and good vocabulary. A weakness would be that the story was slow. In my opinion, the story was not that bad, it was interesting.]]> 2020-10-07 11:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809872289 https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809873316 A strength of the story would be how the author used vocabulary and good imagery. A weakness would be that the story seemed to kind of drag on for a while. But overall I thought the story was really good.]]> 2020-10-07 11:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809873316 https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809915882 I felt like the story language made the story very real it gave similes and gave a great descriptive. There was also Imagery that made the story feel real as if you were there before. The main problem with this story was it was slow spaced .
 I found this story okay but its a lot different from the books I enjoyed I am Surprised I like it a little.]]> 2020-10-07 12:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hfifield/zjyaf8e2cdw9yq6n/wish/809915882
