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.
