Ergh... they don't do much of anything. Not very animated, are they?

If you want to become a better writer, you have to focus your story and make it less disjointed and confusing. Have you considered doing a writing workshop or taking a class? Your story is an odd one that definitely needs refinement in order to be good. You've got some thoughts you want to share, but you don't have them presented in a way that really works. Being a good writer requires more than the power of your convictions. But you're a unique person... I think you can find the right way to express yourself. :-)
Good points! Actually, I'm sure some parts of the story are intended to confuse the reader.

Hey, did you catch the new banana I discovered - the line-dancing one. Conga line!

Life is confusing .... I like the bananas

Zeldas, thank you for the advice :)
It's just my first essay, we'll see what's next.

Nice review! I enjoyed how you recommend this book to others you think may enjoy it, even though it wasn't your cup of tea. Great detail in the review too!

You must be the best left-handed compliment giver in the whole world. Maybe I should consider a writing career based on your left-handed compliments.
