Factual information

Factual information
The researched that I conducted to use for my narrative were two news articles and a short story. The first news article was about two girls ages twelve and fourteen bullying another twelve year old girl until she committed suicide, the bullying was done online through message boards and text messages. The reason I picked this article is because it relates to this generation, being don’t have to real life bullies because they are online bullies.

The second article is about Amanda Todd the 15 year old girl who committed suicide due to cyber bullying, she had met an online friend who had pressured her into showing her topless self to him and it had spread over the internet. Amanda was bullied and beaten to the point of drinking bleach but she was save a month before her death she had posted a video on the internet telling everyone her story. Like the other article this relates to this generation because we are consistently online and we are exposed to the dangers of the world.

The short story that I looked at was by Hans Christian Andersen The Angel (1844) it is about a boy who has died and an angel has come to take him to heaven but on the way the angel notices a flower that is dying and he takes it with them the angel tells the boy a story about the flower and at the end of the story it turns out that the flower belonged to the angel when we was a young boy before he died.

I wanted to use these stories because they all relate to death or loss which I thought would be an interesting narrative subject. Also because these stories can relate to other people.
