At DePauw for weekend, posting Thursday

After writing his first real story, Wright is quick to share it with a neighbor of his. Though she didn’t understand why he was sharing it with her, he still felt good inside and pleased with himself. This is because this writing symbolized much more than a mere story. It was a piece of work he had poured himself into, a story that took him away from his reality and something he could reasonably be proud of. Since he had not done very little in his life that he was truly proud of, this stood out and made him treasure the story much more than others would. More than this, however, was the idea behind the story that it was his story and that no one could truly take it from him. They may disagree with the story and could share in the story, but no one could ever take it from him. Regardless of whether she understood the story or his intentions for sharing it, Wright was still justly proud of his creation.
