Point Of View Part Of The Book

teenagers and drugs. The way these are conveyed is

what caused the early end to it. Donaghy is trying
to convince us that it was not Annas fault she
died, but that it...

long as the author fells what they are writing and
trying to portray. Through reading this, I gained

writing. Furthermore, this article did not help me

states that Carman is not patriotic enough, but on
the other hand he praises Carman's writing. The
