Those scenes then build an emotional arc for the story.Shannon Donnellyhttp://www.shannondonnelly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-20112759837620214312012-10-20T23:10:10.066-05:002012-10-20T23:10:10.066-05:00Stephanie, that makes good sense.

After a friend is hurt in a car accident caused by alcohol, he has to work to suppress the anger. Finally, he realized his father's death was a tragedy and no one's fault.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020966780454775460noreply@blogger.com
