Really Responding Sarah Perch

• A. 
• This text surprised me because I never realized how much goes into a peer review. I have done them before and have thought about most of the aspects that the author speaks about, but I never realized how many categories there truly were. From where to put your comments, how much to praise and even how to present your comments. This article offered great advise for the peer reviews we do in the future.

• These strategies are extremely helpful and I'm very happy that everyone in the class is reading this. For example, don't be short and sweet. I've had plenty people peer review my paper and they do not fix anything unless it's grammatical - which since it is a draft, I would've ended up getting to those things anyways on my own. I want people who read my paper to consider me as a writer, my background, and the context of the paper so that they can make the right corrections to my essay. I want them to read my paper and tell me if certain sentences make sense and where they should be placed. Do my paragraphs flow? Does my essay come back into a full circle at the end? Does the ending resonate? I want my paper to be dissected, but in a respectful and understanding manner.  I agree with the author's opinions on writing a correct peer review.

• I have done and received many peer reviews in my English courses at the community college I attended while in HS. There, the peer reviews were half ass. No one truly cared besides that one kid that kissed the butt of the teacher. But, this isn't about the teacher, it's about your peers and helping them out as much as possible before the teacher does. They were never helpful and sometimes offered things to my paper that didn't make any sense. I never want to offend anyone, but it's difficult when the person reading your paper is not as good of a writer or may not understand your concepts, but of course, having someone else read your paper is vital. While writing my papers, I completely understand my ideas and topics and how they're supposed to connect. But what about everyone else, who's not inside my head, do they? Also, they recognize grammatical errors better than you, because after reading your paper 5 times, you start to skip over and miss essential errors.
