  1. Sorry Emm, I commented under the wrong post on your blog, but it's okay! Emm, your post is really short, sweet, and right to the point! I liked how you wrote little details before you summarized Chapter 1. This showed how much detailed information you retained from the Chapter. Your picture is also very cute!

  2. I like how you listed the characters and gave a little information on them. It helps to start off in reading the story. The little summary was also good. It was a summary that wasn't too long or too short. It was a valid summary of the plot. You also have a pretty wordle!
