Are your characters round with culture specific attributes?
Is there effective use of imagery, figurative language, descriptive details, original thought? Is the cultural situation captured effectively?
Is point of view significant? Is your choice of narrator interesting and significant to theme? Are cultural backgrounds integrated?
Is the setting adequately created? Does it reflect character, plot, or theme? Does it reflect the cultural context?
Is there exposition, conflict, complications, climax, and resolution? How do cultural differences or misunderstandings contribute to plot development.
Are your sentences varied in length and effective in creating tone, mood, or pace? Have you proof-read your paper for basic spelling and grammar?
