Not Quite Chicken Soup... More Than Just a Student's Short Story

After reading Haya's short story, Not Quite Chicken Soup, I like to believe that I had a better understanding of some of her thought processes… or perhaps a better way of putting it would be that I can now relate to her more, regarding possible thoughts and ideas. Her identifiable characters are easy to imagine and believe in, and their traits are recognizably those of the typical teenager. The fact that she can capture the complicated logic of youth in words is worth applauding (for even we adolescents have a hard time describing our ways of thinking)! The attributes and behaviours of these convincing characters are made ever more realistic with her constant use of an appropriate diction: an eloquent writing style with implied plots and themes, yet the concepts are easy (and enjoyable) to grasp after reading the entire story. Also, Haya's evocative and vivid imagery only make the reader fall even deeper into the authenticity of the words and ideas of the story!


So, overall, I'd say that Haya's got some serious skill.
