Organization
Excellent
Well constructed narrative with paragraphs that follow a logical sequence; balanced dialogue, narration, and action.

Both intro and concluding paragraphs written, but one or the other was lacking (the hook or the wrap-up).
Fair

Autobiographical with a spattering of narrative elements.
