    Inquiry Paper “Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.” ~ Virginia Woolf. For a spider the web is the key part of her existence, spun through individual silk, piece by piece it eventually connects together to form a web that provides life for the spider, a new start.
