I liked how you guys incorporated each other into the novel by breaking down the point of view and how you each viewed the characters and their actions differently.

I liked how Jerron asked reflective questions back onto people's comments.

I like how you all gave each other cheese nicknames. The starting music really got it into the groove. Appreciate how you compare Pecola and Claudia. Taking the point of view and how it affects who is more really the main character. Also, the use of reflection on the past and connecting it to a child’s mindset. Some of the topics that are discussed are relatable, and it feels real and raw. I think it is fine if you curse.
