“Hey, It Happens” Response:

Wow, this is a great story! First of all, I love the point of view you decided to write in. Putting the reader in the main characters shoes is very unique and it worked extremely well in this story. Secondly, I was very impressed with your humor. One of my favorite lines was, “Before you go inside, he has to get on his tip-toes to peer through the high window in the front door to make sure that his obese mother isn’t walking around naked…” I don’t know how you think of these things, but lines like that really make the story what it is. I also love the fact that you gave this story a moral. In the last sentence you write, “You’ve learned a valuable lesson about judging someone by his taste in music.” This line is my favorite because it gives the story a meaning, yet at the same time it enforces the theme of humor. Great story! I would not change a thing!
