heidi's response to Scott's story

“The Misfits” The short story has a realistic use of dialogue, and one could hear the characters actually speaking. Also, the dialogue helps the story progress and moves the action forward rather than just being a pointless exchange of words. The description of the setting is consistent and is subtly worked in. Using present tense for this story may not be the best, and it was sort of jarring when I first began reading. Whatever tense you choose, though, make sure it remains the same throughout. The main difficulty with the story is that it’s not clear what exactly the story is, nor are the characters really distinct from one another.
