NO, no, no, no, no!!! I admire the way you selected the island and everything else connects and make sense. That's a talent! keep on writin and take care:)

I thought this was a very creative idea for describing the concept of independence. There was a meaningful analagy between the island and the human spirit. I also liked your style of writing and use of language to create an appealing sense of imagery and a pleasing poetic flow.
