Vampire Diaries Research Paper

The issue I discussed with the individuals below was the ending of my favorite show, Vampire Diaries. As a faithful fan of the show, I was devastated. Each of these individuals had a different reaction to my personal issue. Four of the five individuals listened to my issue and one person did not listen.
