In “Enough is Enough,” I explore how sources’ voices can influence a journalistic work. In “What Happened to the Time Last Labor Day,” I attempt to create meaning from an ordinary day by heightening the story’s attention to detail. In “Accepting Pain: Arguments for and Against,” I play with structure, organizing what could be a linear story into a circular conversation. Each of the works in this thesis is an experiment in stepping out of my comfort zone as a writer.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
