The first feature story that I critiqued was out of the Linn Benton Community College paper called the Commuter.
It is a campus local paper that is simple, but they always have interesting stories, and get in touch with their community.
The story that I went over was out of the most recent issue of March, the story is called "Compliments Can Be Kind". The story is about how compliments to the opposite sex can be taken the wrong way and in the mean time people can get "creeped out".
Adam LaMascus the writer of the story put it together very well. There were very few errors, and it was just the right length. It wasn't too short to where you are wondering what else, and its not too long to where you are bored half way through the story.
I agree with Adam about the content with the story. Compliments can be kind. They are not always a person who is checking you out, or secretly undressing you in your mind. People need to learn how to take compliments, and not get weired out.
Compliments are meant for good, not bad. People of the opposite sex may actually think you look nice. Many women and men do spend an hour in front of the mirror in the morning.
Like Adam says in his story, "If I spent that much time trying to make myself look good, I'd be offended if somebody didn't compliment me". So in other words, good story Adam, and I agree we all need to learn how to take compliments.
