 * == Component == || == Description == || == Score == ||
 * Opening Lines || This is the hook that grabs the reader and makes him want to keep reading. The hook doesn't have to be dramatic or shocking, it just needs to provoke a question. || ||
 * Characters || The characters are the people in the story, and they need to be strong. This doesn't mean the main character needs to be a go-get-em hero type. It means he needs to be authentic, believable, well-rounded, and sympathetic. We need to relate to him, so we'll want to follow him to the end of the story. || ||
 * Setting || The setting is where it all takes place. It needs to be vivid and capture not only the physical details, but the flavor of the place. || ||
 * Theme || The theme is the main message the story conveys. This is the heart of the story, what the author really wants to say, and one of the main reasons it was written. And it must be subtle, almost to the point of unnoticeable. || ||
 * Plot (Beginning, Middle, End) || The plot should contain a conflict that has the reader asking himself "What's going to happen next? I have to turn the page!" || ||
 * Resolution || The main character achieves his/her goal(s) and all loose ends are wrapped up. It should be unexpected yet logical, satisfying yet leaves a bit to the imagination, and complete. || ||
 * Voice || The quality that makes his or her writing unique, and which conveys the author's attitude, personality, and character. || ||
 * Good Writing || The writing needs to put the reader into the story (show not tell, authentic dialog, appropriate descriptions, etc). || ||
 * Narration || • Engage the listener
