Regardless of the way the story starts eventually all the characters die, so in “Happy Endings” the most important…

Many teenagers have had lots of challenges, I for one have. As a child I was very stressed out a lot, mostly because I was thinking about things too much in-depth. With that stress I also went to see a counselor and she helped me realize a little bit about myself. It was a hard time and it still is with high school and college coming up. Teachers and parents trying to get you do show off to colleges when that is hard to do. All of the stress and problems that I have faced all started when I…

Over the past few weeks, I have conducted research on the point of view of “Sonny’s Blues”, “Say Yes”, and “Cathedral”.

In undertaking such experiments, my writing exists within, but also develops and challenges, broader social, cultural, and literary frameworks. Thus, to contextualise my project, it is necessary to examine influences on my thematic approach, and the technical intricacies of my writing. Firstly,…
