I was awake‚ but my bed didn’t want me to get up. I laid there for ten more minutes until I realized I really had to get up before I was late for school

    straight. I read the letter Andrew wrote to you. It’s certainly not a pure love letter that Daniel addressed during lunch today.

    Dear Ethyl‚ I was reading this article the other day called "Finding Your Own Voice"(1) . I think it was by some lady named Anne Lamott. I found it truly offensive! She talks about her students and how they will pattern themselves around successful writers they enjoy reading.

She goes on and on about searching those dark‚ deep‚ smelly chasms hidden deep within ourselves and how

From the first paragraph of the story we learn that Connie is a young fifteen year old who longs for attention and acceptance. I was able to relate to the story better when I paused
