ITT: Pretend that literary classics never existed, critique authors as if it were the writing of fellow /lit/ posters.

Here's the first paragraph of my novel:
Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin--that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.

"the worst part of it was that on the knee of my trousers was a big yellow stain. i had a forboding that the stain would deprive me of nine-tenths of my personal dignity. i knew, too, that it was very poor to think so"
