    Chris Colfer has often been ostracised for being different and encourages others with the words, “there is nothing wrong with you. There is a lot wrong with the world you live in.” The people of America have many differences-- differences that should be celebrated but often are made to be seen as negative.

Due to the loud self entitled, society has been conditioned to see people as less, and those who are deemed to be less are taught to believe that they are wrong, broken, and all because of something that cannot be controlled.…

Another reason that the narrator can be trusted is because she was not the one to kill her husband, which would have changed her point of view dramatically.…
