I had a hard time deciding what I was going to do for this assignment, until I reread the dreadful scene and I realized how beautiful the scenery had been throughout the love story. I wanted to create a collage, a way to show how I pictured everything in my head. Though I had myContinue reading “The Scenery of a Love Suicide”
