For this week’s critique, I decided to take a look at my high school’s online newspaper called the Como Crier.

Assuming the ice cream cup was just a treat, I opened it quickly and starting eating it- before instructed. First, I smelt it, because the coloring of the brown seemed unknown to me. It couldn’t possibly be chocolate! After getting my nose up close and personal with the cup of half brown and half white […]
