HEALING THE SCARS AT THE SEAMS By: Freniel Mikko Austria (Literary Criticism) Freniel Mikko Austria is the present feature writer of the MARIAN‚ the official student publication of Saint Mary’s University Bayombong‚ Nueva Vizcaya. For me‚ the feature story Healing the Scars at the Seams is a very genius output of the author because on the title itself readers would show interest and give time to read it.

But when I walked in A.P. English 11‚ I felt uneasy and nervous. I knew “sailing through” was not going to work‚ and that I’d actually need to put a lot of effort in the course. The literary criticism paper was introduced to us in the beginning of the year‚ and everyone was anticipating it. Fast forward 9 months and the assignment is staring at me in the face.
