This piece has lots of sound and makes good use of it. However, I had trouble finding a narrative arc. I got a good sense of life on the island and Hunter's character. The piece would have been stronger with some sort of specific conflict or problem threatening the island or a more immediate challenge to life on the island. The piece, at 7 minutes, seemed like an audio postcard that would be stronger closer to 3 minutes in length.

Samantha did a good job capturing Hunter in a sound-rich format. The piece also was well written, letting the characters tell the story.

This piece would fit well in a magazine or showcase program about life in the Northeast or life in rural/smalltown America.
