I think you should of put a title on your Novel study, an some more detail in your work but your tranzition where great they worked well, you have only done two character's. You have not used capitals, full stops and comers in your writing. Your novel study look's plan I think you should have put more colour in your work. You have described your setting really well because I imagined the school when I read it. But done a good job overall. =) Josh
