You can design it however you choose, but make sure to keep the same basic information the same. Also, be very specific with your comments.

Non-specific: I liked it.
Specific: I like how she created the characters, especially Pony, to seem real. Their dialogue
was very believable. I could easily picture the characters, too.




Nothing Gold Can Stay

by Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold, 
Her hardest hue to hold. 
Her early leaf's a flower; 
But only so an hour. 
Then leaf subsides to leaf. 
So Eden sank to grief, 
So dawn goes down to day. 
Nothing gold can stay.
