Liz Wenrich's Response to Saira's Resurrection

Response to Saira’s “Resurrection”
This story was about a single mother who finds out she has cancer. All she wants is for her son to be in good hands after she is gone. She decides to go to the family who hurt her so badly to try and find a home for her son, Adam.
I thought this story was interesting. It gave good insight into the life of not only a person with cancer and dealing with knowing you will die, but also going through that with no one to really turn to in that time of need. I thought it was good that you gave information about her dad beating her and those descriptions were really good with the whishing of the belt and what not. It helps the reader understand and put themselves in her shoes to understand how it was so hard for her to ask them for help. I think maybe the piece could use more sentence variation? And also I really want to know what actually happens in the meeting.
