Introduction:
The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most popular and influential alternative rock bands of the 1990s. Founded by guitarist and songwriter Billy Corgan.
I really enjoy this band and I love learning about music and different genres.
I chose to focus on the way that authors describe the physical characteristics of the characters in their books. Also how actors are casted based on how similar their traits look to the ones described in the story.

I chose to study this author because I started reading her work when it first came out years ago. I’ve read every piece she’s published and fell in love with each one all over again. I’ve always loved the way she writes and I’ve never been disappointed at the end – other than the fact that I wish it wasn’t over. I wanted to take a deep dive into Karen McManus not just as a person but as a writer.

What: Focusing on the motif self love pieces by Rupi Kaur
Why: I always loved Kaur’s writing and wanted to focus on her self love pieces. She does a wonderful job expressing the emotions and actions that it takes to truly love yourself. I think it’s unbelievably important to be able to love yourself because you are the only one who will always be there for yourself. I wanted to take on the challenge of attempting her writing style to see if i can connect with readers like she does.

“Great, now we are lost” Jackson says in an annoyed voice. “We’re not lost, we are almost at the witch’s house, plus we have a map”, Amelia replies. The two continue walking through the darkened woods, branches creaking with every step taken. After many hours passed and no house in sight, they decided to put up the tent and rest. “This is unbelievable. I came out here with you to film your stupid documentary and we haven’t found anythi-“, He was interrupted by the wailing of something un-human. The two stepped out of the tent to investigate when they noticed that the tent was set up right in front of the witches’ house. “How did we get here? We didn’t send the tent up here!” Amelia screams. They panic and hide back in the tent as the wailing gets closer. Panicking, the two hold the zipper shut as hard as they can. When the wailing suddenly stops, an 8 foot-tall entity breaks through the tent with the most negative intentions. Screams were made but never heard.
