a need to interpret what [she] saw as a story (Golden 83), I can draw an
unambiguous meaning from the words on the page if I can clearly picture the
setting and people acting out the scenes, similar to transforming the story
into a movie in my mind. My affinity for creative forms of literacy is what has
inspired my writing style, which can diverge from the standard form of
