Melda’s critique of “Resurrection” by Saira Malik

I like that you describe Ashley very well. You tell us what she looks like, how much she loves her son, her financial status, etc. We can tell you thought out the character well, especially when you describe why she is not connected with her family. Her father beat her when she was growing up and her mother left her and her brothers at the age of 10. Other than her son, Ashley does not have connections to her family. On the other hand, I did not like how the story ended. If your story is about a resurrection of Ashley’s past than why didn’t you show us the meeting she had with her family? To me it felt as if you cut the story too short.
