Peer Review 2

Ian Miller



It seems a little odd and I don’t think that you were supposed to spend an entire paragraph writing about the lens that you were about to use.  This is in reference to the Polk street paragraph.  I think you did a very good job at using the Polk street references to talk about the basketball courts in the same way, but again I think you used to many direct quotes from the story.  You should go in to more detail in describing the point system used, because it is far from conventional being that a “three point shot” is only worth two points, like why do they do this instead of the regular system.  I think that your third paragraph could be divided into a couple more paragraphs especially near the end because it doesn’t seem that the last few sentences have anything to do with the beginning ones.  Getting to the part where you start to describe the squeaking of the shoes and then you say the names of the shoes.  It just doesn’t seem to fit when you say what the shoes are called, in my opinion I would take it out.  I think you did a fairly good job at sticking with the original ideas that you laid out in your introduction, I would just stay away from over describing and quoting from one of the readings, again I may be wrong but it just doesn’t seem right.  You are doing a really job at effectively using the lens of Polk street to describe the space.
