The following story is in a multi narrative format, inspired by Robin Benway’s book Far From the Tree. While Far From the Tree has three narrators, my story only has two. Benway’s book is related to an estranged family finding each other, while my story approaches the topic of reuniting with family after tragedy occurs. Both pieces introduce the idea of what it means to be a family. Finally, the story elements that arise within my story are influenced by the techniques that are shown in Benway’s art. These elements include a snapshot, thoughtshot, motif, dialogue, and the use of dramatic irony.
