Dude. This is really good. It's such a simple format, but you've included such depth in this piece. This was really easy to read and flowed throughout.
ReplyDeleteI would challenge you to get even more specific. For example: when you say "this is for the people who are scared to leave their house"- that's good.

I really liked how you broke up the message of Shake the Dust. You didn't wait until the end to explain what it meant. Good job.
