Talk:The Surrounded

Hi ! This article was created as part of a classroom assignment and the instructor,, wanted more information about what in the article was seen as an essay, as they want to fix any issues. I do see that you wrote "Characters and Plot need sources beyond the article creator's own impressions, or sections should be significantly reduced" in the edit summary, but wanted to make sure that this is what you were referring to.

Hi and ! We're specifically interested in the portions where it may seem like personal or original opinion. The students are planning to add more citations and trim. Thanks to all for the help! We're all learning here! User:VP2019 VP2019 (talk) 18:27, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry I don't quite have the time to get more specific today, but the whole article looks like a book report, rather than an encyclopedic entry about the book and its place in history. The first improvement would be to reduce the Characters and Plot sections significantly. You don't have to describe everything in the book. Give the interested Wikipedia patron a reason to go out and buy it. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 12:08, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reply. The students will be making some adjustments to address this over the next few weeks. If I understand, it isn't a matter of "original opinion," which the article obviously lacks. It's more an issue of over-summarizing and not enough emphasis on reception history and recognized themes of the work. VP2019 (talk) 16:12, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
