The Reality of the Fantasy

I got inspired to write about relationships because through Born a Crime, Trevor talks a lot about his relationships with other people. One of the moments that most stuck with me was when one of Trevor’s dogs would run away and stay with another family(Chapter 7). That’s when he learned a very important message. Pg. 74 “You do not own the thing that you love.” Trevor would admit when he was doing something bad and not being a good person and that encouraged me to do the same. I included a bit of suspense going from one paragraph to another. I also tried to explain my feelings as well as I could so other people could relate or at least understand. I didn’t use any comedy as I wanted to. Mostly because the time for it didn’t really come up while I was writing. I wasn’t going to try to force it in my story. I wanted to portray my feelings as well as I could and nothing I felt or did was ever funny to me. The culture I talked about is very general. A lot of people should be able to relate to this to a certain level. Relationships are a common part of life. The lesson I learned can apply to anyone. This experience taught me a lot about who I am as a person. Both the good and bad in me. It made me realize how I try to run away from any situation that I am not comfortable with but it also taught me that I have the strength to stop doing that. This experience also shaped the person I am. I now communicate more with the people around me if something ever happens. That’s why I never forget about these types of experiences. They’re a good way to learn to be better.
