INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Hockey and drawing are Joey's two passions in life, but if he wants to make his hunter father proud, he has to shoot a buck. Readers will sympathize with Joey as he agonizes over his feelings of inadequacy, but the story suffers from a tell-not-show (i.e., we hardly see Joey doing what he claims to love) approach.
