  1. well it sounds really cool! that was just the beginning of it right? is there an ending? also- i like pigeons! and seagulls!

    is the next part of the story about the pigeons convincing sam to steal food for them?


  2. I'm not convinced sorry.  I think that a story about seagulls or pigeons wont get much attention.  Having a talking sun is childish.  There are a few grammar mistakes so I feel that it is rushed through.  I feel that the part with the school and stuff is really good.  If the school's students are pigeons or seagulls, then its a bad story.  If it is real people then I think that is great with the deadline thing.  If you would change Sam into a different animal that would be better.  Seagulls don't live in the desert so I think you should change him into like a mole or something.  Maybe a hare.  All in all I think it could only pass as a little kids play.  If that's your goal then your doing great.
