Question

could anyone help me write paragraph on a critical review of a short story
A Man Who Had No Eyes by mackinlay kantor

Answer 1

I can try even though I haven't read that story. Let me quickly read the summary of that story and I'll get back to you in a couple. (:

Answer 2

thank you, i appreciate it, :)

Answer 3

I'm going to take just a few minutes to read over it. In the meantime you can list any points you would like to include

Answer 4

i shall go with whatever you suggest.

Answer 5

Alrighty, all done! Very interesting. The ending makes the whole story don't you think?

Answer 6

yes, i was quite moved by the story,

Answer 7

even suggested my mother to read _chuckles_

Answer 8

Hehe. I'd do the same! So you need to write one paragraph reviewing the story? Are there any other guidelines you have to meet for the assignment?

Answer 9

no, just a small paragraph*smiles*

Answer 10

Alrighty, we can jot down some ideas for what to include in your review

Answer 11

i am terrible at giving reviews on stories

Answer 12

you may tell the ideas and i shall make some changes if i have to. how about that

Answer 13

It's okay I can help with ideas on flow and what to include. All you need is practice. You say, ''I am not good at writing''. I say, ''Its because you've never written before''. So you see you need to practice writing, and in this case practice writing story reviews so that you have no issues in future when writing one. So for the review, I think you should begin by giving a sentence or two briefly summarizing the main point of the story.

To begin, what information would you like to include in the summary of the story. Just a sentence or two, nothing too lengthy...
I think you should definitely include the information that the story involves an encounter between a successful, respectable man and a blind beggar.

Answer 14

yes, of course

Answer 15

ermmm

Answer 16

Also, I can't just write a paragraph for you - I wasn't assigned to write one, you are.
I can however guide you through this and we can together explore some ideas and then you can collect all the ideas we discussed and put it into a paragraph.

Answer 17

mmhmm. i understand.

Answer 18

the both men were blind but their life style, their paths of lives were utterly different from each other, the rich man was an optimistic person, though any situation it may be. he chose the ability of CAN instead of CAN'T

Answer 19

I think including the last part of the story, since it makes the story interesting, is important. So you can also include a sentence about how the author reveals that the two men know each other and in fact, both were blinded in the same accident, despite their different life paths. I am going to list these points here so that it is easier to go back and write the paragraph with all the info to include:

Include short summary of story: - story involves an encounter between a successful, respectable man and a blind beggar -as the story proceeds, the author reveals that the two men know each other and in fact, both were blinded in the same accident, despite different life paths and outcomes.

Answer 20

alright alright

Answer 21

okay, well how is this for a start


There is a blind beggar walking down the streets. Chances are, the blind beggar is the "man who had no eyes" as said in the title. I'm glad the author wrote a story that's unique, and not about love. Love is nice, but sometimes readers need something different, i found it different.
