images and drawings so that her readers could better engage with and understand what she is trying to deliver. “My teacher used the word ‘environs’ as a verb as in ‘video art easily environs the viewers’ Moods environ us” (Life Breaks In, 41). Here Cappello is even criticizing her teacher for using a noun as a verb. So, she uses the same word as a verb in a sarcastic way describing how moods control and enclose us. She is warning or actually teaching her readers the appropriate way of using that…

My short story is aimed at adults, it was influenced by the book Burn the Dead: Quarantine by Steven Jenkens. I aimed to create a distorted image of the new world that was plagued by an abyss of loneliness to represent the enmity and depression felt by the main character. I wrote in a first person narrative to place the reader in Lillias shoes and to evoke pity for her confusion disorientation and despair.

My soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitless of my…
and articles in these sentences here, “We went in the back (um) of the store,” “I just use the wedgie on my skies,” “And I have a carriage.” This is common for her age, but she does not, however, demonstrate that she can properly use a past regular verb that send in -ed. This is normal for her age, but since she is able to understand time she should be able to use a word that sends in -ed.
