Questions to ask:

1. What captivates you about the story? Hoe does he paint a picture for the reader? Cite the passages that are most compelling for you.
   
2. Who is the target audience for this publication? How does the story relate to them? Does the story appeal to other demographic groups as well,  and if so, why?
   
3. What "rules" did the writer break?
   
4. How does the writer end the story? Why is it effective?
