I really loved this story! I think that it’s amazing how you were able to make this story about propaganda into propaganda itself, very Meta. I mean, I was a little confused as to who Eddie was (I knew he was an American Eagle from the children’s gun awareness movie but I had no clue if he was a human dressed up as a character, a character, or an actual eagle) but that aside, I really loved how the story played out. I mean, first we have Charlton telling his friend Dennis about how bad guns are—without him realizing that he actually gets a rush out of seeing the guns—and the next thing you know he is shooting down Eddie, the one who introduced him to the world of guns. This story is really good. I also enjoyed your use of word choice. Words such as silver dollar, coke machine, etc.; it gave the story an 80’s/ 90’s feel. If it would have not been for the introduction of “Spongebob” and “digital animation” into the story I would not have known it was taking place in the 21st century. I honestly really enjoy it and can find only little things to change about it (little nit-picky things that are not worth mentioning here but have been pointed out on the manuscript).
