Superb review zanya
Comment from samantha0930
You might want to check your poem, since right now the syllable count you have is 6-8-7 instead of 7-9-7, unless "begged" is supposed to have forced 2 syllables to be said as "beg-ged", and if as well "gruel" is meant to be said "gru-el" rather than "grool".
Also, I haven't read this book and I'm not entirely familiar with it, but I don't see how asking for more food makes him a prodigy? A prodigy is an impressive young person with exceptional qualities or abilities, so I fail to see how this comparison makes sense. Or maybe he becomes a prodigy, but he is a scrawny one because they start giving him less food as punishment for being greedy?
I was going to give this 5 stars, but then put it down to 4 since I decided that it left me too confused.

As one who taught OLIVER TWIST for years, I applaud your witty characterization of its hero. Your wording in all three lines could not be better. Dickens would approve.

Good classic character entry...nice flow for a short and limited format. The punctuation adds character to your lines. The picture completes your writing piece. Best wishes in the contest.
