Is this a good short story? Comment?
This is from my worthy of publishing page (under the username Jessy* if you wanted to check it out, at worthyofpublishing.com ;) Ya if you would please give comment and feedback on it :) rate 1-10 :) (this is just in case you wanna, guess how old I am based on my writing, will give best answer!!) Alexi Brice was only eight when she found out. What, exactly happened? Not even she knows the answer to that. All she knew was that her and her brother had been selected. They were to become Russian agents. Not by choice, but by force. Having lived in Russia for most of their lives, the twins Alexi and Nikolai were pretty familiar with their surroundings. Moscow was a pretty popular city, and most people there looked like they had something to hide, something to regret. At first, the two of them refused. So they were tied up, and had knifes to their necks with a little drop of blood flowing down the side, just enough to make them surrender. Alexi remembers it like it was yesterday. “Nikolai,†she had choked to her brother through the gag, thinking that their lives were to end, “no matter what happens, we stick together.†Nikolai looked at her through the corner of his eye. “I think it’s too late, Alexi. We… we can’t make it this time. I'm… I'm sorry,†he wined, only barely making out these words. It was at this moment that she saw the Russians slit her brother’s neck, right in front of her. As the knife slid into his skin, Alexi jumped out of her chair, her heart racing. The tears flooded her face, and the Russians held her back. “No!! Nikolai! Wha- why?! You- you killed him…†she screamed, huffing and puffing. She cried and cried and cried, until finally she agreed to be an agent for the Russians. She hadn’t the slightest idea what she was getting into. She didn’t even know why the Russians took them. They had killed their parents, and taken Alexi and her brother hostage. Six years later, after hard labor, and years of painful punishments, Alexi devised a plan. She was going to escape. She was going to get back to the States. She carefully planned out how she would do it. She was going to sneak out of the assigned dorms, in the middle of the night, when the guards fall asleep. She would then manage her way to a port, where she would sneak on to the ship that sails down to Norway once a week. From there, Alexi would manage to get the money for a plane ticket back to the United States. If she found her uncle, he would know what to do. She could live with him. When midnight approached, Alexi’s heart pounded against her chest. She didn’t know what she would do if she were to be caught. So she carefully slid on her shoes and tip-toed over to the window. Nervously, she looked around the room to make sure no one was awake. Then, she cautiously and quietly opened the window, just high enough so she could squeeze herself out, and plopped down out of the small one story building. It was amazing that no one had thought to lock the window. She would love to meet the idiot who designed the place. On second note, if she were to be caught, she was dead. Outside, everything was absolutely still. No people, no animals, no nothing. Just the dirt beneath Alexi’s feet. The jet black night sky lured over her as she started to walk towards the port. Hours, it would take her to reach Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the other side of the road. “Officer, be on the lookout for a runaway,†she heard, coming from a radio of some sort. “Copy that, sir,†Alexi heard the man reply. She had completely forgotten about the night police. So she hid behind a bush, and she heard footsteps coming up behind her. .she slightly turned, just enough that she could see that the man had not noticed her yet. It would have been stupid for her to make a move, but that is exactly what she did. Whe the officer started to walk away, she stood up, and ran. She had no time to think; she made a point blank decision to run. Alexi knew that the officer was chasing her, but she could her nothing other than her hard breathing, and the sound of her slamming her feet on the ground every time she took a step. Without realizing, she had lost the man, but she continued to run. No matter how hot, tired, or dehydrated she was, she kept running, until, finally, she saw a boat. There was no one there, and the boat wasn’t due to leave for another hour. But, she made her way onto the boat, and found a corner behind a huge crate, where she was guaranteed to be safe. She had dozed off, before she had even seen anyone board the boat, which, she wasn’t planning to do for safety reasons. “Alexi,†she heard someone talking to her. “Alexi,†said the voice again. “Alexi, what are you doing? You’re going to get yourself killed.†She didn’t know where the voice was coming from, and it wasn’t one she recognized, either. “What? Who-who are you? Where am I?†said Alexi, in a soft, voice, almost soft enough to be a whisper. “Alexi, where we are doesn’t matter. It’s okay. Running away isn’t the answer. You didn’t want this life. But never run away. Escape just makes you one step closer to where you want to be, Alexi,†said the voice. “But I had to. I couldn’t live there any longer,†Alexi responded. “What is it that you want most, Alexi? The one thing that kills you on the inside. What is that one thing you want back?†Alexi remembered that day, when her parents were taken away, and her brother was killed right in front of her. A tear rolled down her cheek. “I-I want to be with my family again,†she said, so softly it was almost impossible to hear, “with my brother.†Suddenly, Alexi felt herself surrounded by water. she couldn’t tell if it was just a dream, or of the splash she had heard was merely an echo. thanks lots! - Jessa Nicole

I think its a GREAT short story! I give it a 10, no lie!
2 :
hmm, you want the truth? I think it was alright. That plot was somewhat good, but I don't feel like i want to read more. & a lot of the sentences didn't really flow well, it was choppy. Based on your writing, i'd say you're 14 or 15...? I'm 16, but I use to write like this when I was 14. & don't get me wrong, you definitely have potential. keep working on it(: 6/10
3 :
You have good action here, but the execution needs some work. The story itself is great, but not very tight and I'd give it a 6 right now. Keep working and edit as much as you can. For instance 'What exactly had happened' is a fragment. Include it in the first sentense. You also change tense. Do you want it in present or past? Not even she knew...all she knew... keep it the same. 'a little drop of blood' is wonky - it'd be more believable if one saw it in the other, not both. If it's Alexi's point of view, maybe she sees it in the brother? She wouldn't know if she was bleeding unless she felt it. Whined. If she's tied up, how did she jump out of her chair? Huffing and puffing usually happen after a long run, consider editing that out. One cried is plenty. You could make that an entire prologue. Right now it seems to jump a little too quickly to 6 years later. 'heart pounded against her chest' is cliche and besides, where else would it pound? plopped is not a very strong word. No nothing is a double negative. Just the dirt is a fragment. A sky can't lure someone somewhere, that doesn't make sense. Hours it would take her to reach what? Why not just a radio? Of some sort is not necessary. If she's running 'took a step' implies walking. Consider revising. If it's told in her point of view, why mention she didn't realize at that point? Don't start a sentence with But. Then she dozes off a little too quickly, stay with the momentum. Don't have soft two times in the same sentence, just say she whispered. What does this mean 'Escape just makes you one step closer to where you want to be, Alexi,' Sounds like she wanted to escape to me, where else would she want to be?

how can I help my daughter make the right decisions?
how can I help my daughter make the right decisions?
My daughter (who is 17) really wanted to be an exchange high school student in Norway. I let her go on exchange to Norway and it was really expensive. I asked her many times if she didn't want to go to another, more modern country like Japan or UK but she insisted on going to Norway. We are talking in the phone often and she is telling me that it doesn't go well between her and her host family. The host parents are very strict and they won't let her go out after 9pm. My daughter was placed in a small village with almost nothing to do. She also complains about how difficult it is to learn Norwegian AND that her host family does nothing to help her. There is nothing to do in that village she lives in. She hasn't got one single friend at school. It is 1 hour to the nearest city and she is only allowed to go there together with the rest of her host family. She also has to eat fish 5 days a week and she isn't used to it. She told me that Norwegians are very homophobic. She told her host family about her gay friends and they didn't seem to like her having gay friends home in America. My daughter is used to openness and city life, not small villages with nothing to do except for fishing, looking at all the penguins or go mountain climbing. She tells me that her host brother Vidar is very ongoing and he is feeling her up all the time. Can't he get anything before he is married? Is sex before marriage uncommon in Norway? My daughter thought Norway was a cool country until she arrived there. She has now been there since last summer and she really wants to go home. Should I let her go home (and think "it was all wasted money") or should she change host family and be placed in a big city?

Have her moved to a city, exchange trips aren't about getting to know the hick culture of another country, it's about getting to know the real culture of a country. (and making a resume massively better) and the host family brother, out of line.

It would be easy to think that the money is the most important thing, but I can tell that you truly want your daughter to be happy and safe. I would let her transfer to another city and host family. That is what would be safest for her. The people that she is with aren't understanding, comforting or safe for her to be around. I understand that you put a lot of your hard earned money into this experiencee for her. Get your money's worth and send her to another family, city, or even country.Remember that your daughters safety comes first and foremost. If you feel adamant about her coming home, than bring her home. You will feel better and she will to. I also advice that you complain to the organization that set up this exchange about the host family and how unsafe it is for ANY child to be in their home. Don't allow another family to send their kid to live with people who cant provide a safe environment. I hope that this helps and I wish all the luck to you and your daughter!

See if you can get her with another family, she shouldn't have to stay with a boy who's feeling her up! Hopefully she'll be placed somewhere where she can learn more and have a better time, learning the language and culture.

She has been there for almost A YEAR?!! What program is that? If she is unhappy, then let her come home. xoxo Jeana

How is America a better, or freer country, than say, Norway?
How is America a better, or freer country, than say, Norway?
I keep hearing Americans saying, "we're number one; we're the best; we're the freeest country on Earth; we have freedoms that no one else has; everyone is lining up to get into America; I'm glad that I'm an American because we have money and freedom and the others don't! U.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.A!!!!" So, how would these ignoramuses, who probably can't find other major countries on the map, feel if America were compared to Norway: 1. Norway: 3% unemployment; America is now over 9% 2. Norway: low number of people living below poverty level; America has a substantial number. 3. Norway has a constitution which guarantees freedom of speech, religion and the press as America does. So, who says America's the only country with freedom? 4. Norway also allows citizens to own firearms, so don't give me that nonsense that only Americans are allowed to bear arms. 5. Norway has a higher per-capita income than the United States (look it up, it's a fact) 6. Yes, Norway has high taxes, but if you consider the high per capita income, it's still a lot of take-home pay, and those taxes supply you with universal health care (a system ranked higher than America's and one in which no one goes bankrupt over medical emergencies or is denied due to pre-existing conditions; also, university doesn't cost $50,000 per year and it's a great system). 6. Yes, Norway has high gasoline prices, but a car is not a necessity in most cities as they have excellent public transport. All right, Norway doesn't have the climate variations that America has (no Miamis or San Diegos for sun seekers, unfortunately) and they haven't put a man on the moon (how that makes your daily life in America better, I don't know), but how is America better overall for day-to-day living? They have freedom of speech, religion, assembly, press, right to bear arms,prosperity, excellent education, excellent health care and low unemployment...so, what gives? Oh, by the way, to those who say, "well then just go move to Norway!" how about a response that requires some intellectual depth, i.e., "Hmmmm...sounds like those Norwegians are doing something right, how we can imitate their good qualities in our society to make it more peaceful and progressive?"

Your question has to be one of the best structured arguments to really kick-start a discussion on the issues of how to improve the US which is currently in a downward spiral. In my opinion one of the key obstacles which is preventing real progress in America is something which the Norwegians (and many other Northern and Western European countries) have addressed in recent years - simply that is the act of objectively evaluating the progress of their country. How did they do this you might ask? Well they put their people first. Their society, from social services which include health care to worker quality and balance of life far exceeds anything Americans can even imagine in their wildest dreams. Take for example vacation days. Americans work harder than many other nations but definitely not smarter - on average Americans are provided with 2 weeks vacation while the average Norwegian receives 5 weeks (with pay btw and some even get 7). And to top it off Americans are now working 45 - 50+ hours per week - hardly sounds like your employer has your best interest and well being at heart doesn't it? Well thats because they don't - you simply are a person who performs a job and if you won't do the 50+ work week there is someone else willing to jump right in. The reason I make this example is because America is a capitalist society so much so that they defend it regardless of the pressure it puts on them as individuals - I mean to tie it in with current events, people are DEFENDING private insurers who are gouging and deny (rationing) care today! While the promise of a system which puts patients first is being demonized and portrayed as the beginnings of socialism (which is no different than the construction of roads as they are 'socially funded' by the Fox definition). To point I am trying to make is that America has the potential to be a great country again it just needs to remember what made it great in the first place and I am not talking about 'freedom fries' but life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ALL - not just those who reap the benefits of capitalism.

why are most american's anti sociliasim?
why are most american's anti sociliasim?
yet defend a system that gives 98% of the population nothing? the average american's life is in shambles and is very sad to me. overweight, half the times divorced, kids who are brought up with no morals or are to religious. people who dont think, and a 250k to 350k dollar house. which is the max they can afford, most people are not rich yet defend a system in hopes they will get rich. I am only 18 but i have traveled a lot already. And on top of that my parents make enough to be considered in the top 2-5% for income level. they also several million in property from homes to condo's and a ranch. As do most of my father's side of the family. I am sure to be handed down all of this and i hope to be a top lawyer earning top dollar. So of course i would not be infavor of a system that would hope to Tax me more. But for 98% of other American's they are under the impression their lives will change more and that they are infact freer than those evil "Socialist Scandinavians" i have however traveled a fair amount to norway and sweden and denmark. i got family in norway and the women are so gorgeous and people are so happy and carefree, their and in denmark its just outstanding. They dont have huge religous nut population's and they arent violent at all. you dont hear about child molestors really at all. i just dont see much negativty their. However with said its very hard to become "Rich in those countries" but its not like it maters anyways most people are happy anyways and live in the major's cities, and are carefree when it comes to having to not pay for college, they land jobs that provide them with enough money for homes and everything. Their Old, are taken care of. very few people are in poverty compared to the USA, almost no homeless, and very little divorce because people marry a lot later. Only negatives i can think of its a terrible place to live if you dont want to be taxed and if your wealthy. and on top of that the chance of you becoming a pro athlete in something or being a famous business man is unlikely but its just as unlikely in the USA its just that in USA it can happen but it dosent happen to 99.9% of people in the world or the USA as 99.9% of people are not rich. If you however are "religious" than i wouldnt recomend those countries to you. But they are very safe, its just your kids likely wont grow up and be religous and will likely be sexually active at an earlier age and use more drugs than say the "Good american kids who are conservative and may be in Band, orchestra, drama etc etc" but with that said their are always that Half of the kids in any school who are more active in such actives than others. So yes i am not implying that the USA does not have sexually promiscuous kids, im just implying kids have sex at a later age in the USA on average and especially if they are raised religious. "Saying im christian but not being actually raised devote does not count" im talking the kids who really are and have those set "Morals" So yes i am failing to realize why the average joe is so in favor of the "Corporate america" which does nothing to benefit their likely failed life with being overweight, in debt with the bank, 4 credit cards, kids who forgive my grammar i typed this fast.

Thanks for that self-loathing wall of text, but from skimming it I'll tell you what I think: Americans are free. Free to be fat, free to be in debt, free to be sheeple who follow the herd without questioning why. At the end of it all, it is better to be a prisoner in an invisible cell than to be able to see the bars clearly.

"Saying im christian but not being actually raised devote does not count" im talking the kids who really are and have those set "Morals" So yes i am failing to realize why the average joe is so in favor of the "Corporate america" which does nothing to benefit their likely failed life with being overweight, in debt with the bank, 4 credit cards, kids who forgive my grammar i typed this fast.

im way to lazy to read that but when americans are anti-anything they don't really no what it is they just believe what they're told i have met someone who claimed to be antidemocratic and then they went on to say what government they think is the best and described democracy i think americans are kind of brainwashed but if you tell them that they'll say no...'cause they were told they weren't

because they've never studied it & just parrot what others say about it to appear astute

Thanks for that self-loathing wall of text, but from skimming it I'll tell you what I think: Americans are free. Free to be fat, free to be in debt, free to be sheeple who follow the herd without questioning why. At the end of it all, it is better to be a prisoner in an invisible cell than to be able to see the bars clearly.
