Arabian Nights Story Revision Reflection

Revision means making changes in the story, like in the story arc, character, description, or the theme of the story. Mechanical editing is grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

After my first draft, Julia left a comment saying to tell a story instead of summarizing it(the horse tells a story in the story). It also wasn’t so clear and descriptive so I had to make it more descriptive so it was clearer.
