“Born into this”: a review of three seasons of HBO’s “The Wire”

Okay, let’s grant this at the outset: no one needs me to tell them about the – let’s face it – unparalleled excellence of HBO’s The Wire, given that we’re dealing, after all, with a truth acknowledged by everyone who’s ever sat in front of a cathode ray tube in the hope of filling up [...]

Is this okay to do to this guy?

Hello. First of all, this is the suggested category to put this in, so.
To begin I will tell you about Justin. This is an 11 year-old kid and is the most obnoxious kid ever. He thinks he is 20, and thinks all love him; gels his hair excessively and [...]

This may sound crazy, but Aliens are trying to kill me.?

I know that you’ve all called me crazy in the past, and I know my stories I’ve told of Radioactive owls eating my cat have discredited me in the communities eyes. I certainly know now that Radioactive Owls carrying off my cat is an absurd story! I mean, I don’t even own a cat!

can someone review this short story for our school writing contest? im new to this…?
