i like the phrase "blessed with even limited access to my own mind"

who is joan didion?

[songfromsixties]

I'm not really sure. This work was in my book for my "Story Making" class, which is looking to be really good.

I hated in Cooper's class when she shredded that piece of Didion's work to pieces.

You should read The Year of Magical Thinking. I absolutely loved it.

Yeah, I actually hated Didion when we read her in Cooper's AP Language. Then again, I also just hate Mrs. Cooper.

BUT, I do like this excerpt.
