I just turned this one in. It's for a very basic English class (albeit Honors) that we all have to take as freshmen. I hope it's at least mildly interesting. Here is the link to the book, The Descent of Alette by Alice Notley. --------------------------------- The Iliad. The Odyssey. Beowulf. Paradise Lost.

I’ve dated more people than can be counted on one hand, approaching two hands. I have been through many breakups, makeups, rebounds and long lost reunions, likely much more-so than folks my age usually have.

Prior to my most recent treatment, I’d always considered myself a serious writer, exclusively. Writing felt justifiably academic, and I was good at it. I didn’t judge others for their skill level, but if I wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, poetry, sculpting, photography, why should I bother?
