1. Is the story as clear and succinct as you can make it? If it isn't, how can it be improved?
- The story is as clear and succinct as we can make it.
2. Do you have a visual style in mind for your story and if so, can you describe it or provide visual reference?
- The visual style we have in mind is flat and highly saturated.
3. Why should this story be told? Why would anyone care?
- This story should be told because everyone struggles with peer pressure. Seeing how difficult it can be for the main character to do what feels right creates a bond between that character and the audience who have likely suffered through similar emotional issues. It can also allow those who put pressure on others to understand that their actions often have negative consequences.

- The shared experience described above provides an emotional hook in our story and we feel that it is engaging.
