Critical response to "Keeping Daises Fresh" by Julia Kitniski-Hong
I enjoyed this quite a bit. It took on the form of a very detailed vignette that was effective in conveying many emotions on different levels. The narrator of the story seemed disconnected,vacant, and possibly apathetic. I think you did an excellent job of helping the reader to understand the mentality of your narrator. Although i felt this story lacked an essential climax, I felt that it was artfully and skillfulyl done. I would however recomend changing the title because its a tad bit blatant and gives away an important symbol of the story.Were the daises meant to symbolize some type of fraility or innocence? If so, work a tiny bit more on devloping your symbols. Ohterwise you have a great narrator and a solid begining.
