8-26-21 Group-2 Critiques

1. Alice's piece:

Both the essay and poem have special appeal for me as I am hoping to retire
in 8 months /six days. I agree that retirement is and will be for me a
process. As a professional counselor, I don't doubt that the friends and
friends of friends I end up working with outside of my actual job won't go
away. Once a counselor, always a counselor. I do have plans and goals for
retirement which I hope to implement in my own time. BTW, loved the concept
of "paw-notes."  

2. Joan's piece: 

A poetic rendering of the poor behavior of humans in the world. This is a
theme I often write about. The imagery is beautifully poignant and the piece
reads a bit like a parable. An incredibly effective poem. And you know, I
fear Julian is correct!
		
3. Valerie's piece: 

Someone once said: "the only way out is through." Also someone else said:
"it is about the journeying more than the arriving." Additionally the 21st
century problem of recognizing and finding truth amid a world of claims and
lies is considered. A profound piece!

4. Leonard's piece:

A nicely crafted vignette which captures the beauty and fascination of a
summer rain storm. It puts the reader right in the picture. He is writing
about beneficial refreshing rain not the mindless rain of hurricanes and
typhoons. Leonard also carefully illustrates the variations within the
actual rain event.
