Respondent's questions 
for reading presentation

Travis

-To Jason:

Were the past and present tense changes intended or accidental? The piece is predominantly past-tense.

Do you think they are appropriate, or should they be changed?

Would you consider changing the entire piece to present tense? Would this improve the piece?

-To class:

Is the conflict present in the piece appropriate? Is there too much/too

little, or should the ratio between external and internal conflict be

changed?

The environment (setting) provided in the piece seems rather scant. Should more description of the setting be added? Would developing the thematic aspects of the piece through the setting be a useful tactic in this piece?
