unwarranted deaths of more than twelve million souls, women and children among them.” In Las Casas, The Dominican Friar exaggerates the number of people killed to try to appeal to the Princes emotions. This example is also justified because it raises the awareness of a problem that needs action. Lastly, a tertiary example of where artistry is justified is in the book, “A Million Little Pieces” by James Frey. In Frey’s book, an autobiography, he tells on his struggles through his addiction and the long rehab process. Frey later admitted that some of the details in the book were enhanced and exaggerated. James Frey thought that what he said was reasonable and later says in the “Note from the Author” section that “during the process of writing the book, I embellished many details about my past experiences, and altered others in order to serve what I felt was the greater purpose of the book. I sincerely apologize to those readers who have been disappointed by my actions.” Frey appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to explain himself and to stand by what he wrote.

I say high to everyone and then walk back through the Sasquatch sized door and walk down the hall to the living room. As I enter the room I 'm greeted by a sweet citrusy pine smell that makes the setting complete. I sit down facing the tree looking beyond into the black abyss and twinkling lights. I pull out my grandpas fly fishing book like I do every year. I read the cover, “ The Complete Angler” by James Prosek. Every year I can never seem to finish the book but I get closer every year. This…

It is not…

That night, I went to bed and my mind was racing. Our plan was set in place. As the clock struck midnight, I quickly snuck out of bed and got dressed. I was so anxious. I wanted to be ready at a moment’s notice. It took less than two minutes to put on a thermal shirt, a sweater, jeans, and heavy wool socks. I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling, counting down the minutes. At 12:50 on the dot, I heard muffled noises outside my window. I sat up and looked outside. There was James and his…

Rasta Man’s Cousin And Another Dream One day when I went out to get something to eat, I bumped into Rasta Man’s cousin. She told me that he had been asking about me and she asked if I wanted his number. I told her no. She was like girl, you better go ahead and get that money. I told her again no thanks.
