DESIGNING LIVES is a story driven by the themes of never giving up and learning to move on. The setting in Montana is very pleasing and it’s refreshing to see a story that features two leading female protagonists. Told against the backdrop of “designing” is appealing. The subtext of the story is about “designing” or redesigning one’s life.
While the themes are well appreciated, the script would benefit from more development.
One area of concern is the true identity of the leading protagonist. It could be either Zelda or Bree. Both want to save their designing company and both have losing the company at risk. However, in every story there’s normally one character that should take the lead and they should have something more at stake than the other leading character. It’s not clear in his presentation, whose story is really being told, Bree’s or Zelda’s. It’s not until the end that it appears to be more of Zelda’s story, as she has love also at risk.
This brings one to the next concern, which is identifying the true story type for this script. The story begins like a nice, light-hearted comedy about two best friends trying to save their company. One thinks it could be a comedy or a dramedy, but as the story progresses, the story type becomes ambiguous.
The scenes between Zelda and Trey, as well as the ending, imply that this is really a romance story. If so, and the true story type is supposed to be a love story, it would benefit the script to clarify the genre from
sensitive to the rhythm and nuances of living. Design should be seen as a configuration and

In Dave Barry’s satirical essay titled “North Dakota wants its place in the sun”, he argues that name changing is a ridiculous concept. Dave Barry immediately claims that changing the name of an object, subject, or person doesn't change the identity of said object, subject, or person but rather temporarily deceives the individual. Throughout his essay, Barry utilizes the rhetorical strategies of anecdote, hyperbole, and sarcasm to strengthen and support his stance on name changing.

I am thinking of settling on the he frontier (either the Great Plains or the Intermountain West). The Great Plains region includes the states like Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas.

The “mountain men” were a group of people that lived or explored on the frontier from about the early 1800’s to the early 1870’s. They were the toughest of the tough of the time living on the brink of life and death every day with life expectancies never exceeding more than 10 years after moving out to the wilderness. Some of them would either move out to the edge of where people had not brought infrastructure to the wilderness and build houses, work for the military as a scout to map and explore the wild so they could build bases or raid native villages, or living sometimes living in native villages learning their culture and language to help U.S.-Native relations. People like Hugh Glass who traveled cross country over 200 miles on his hands and feet and survived being mauled by a bear and abandoned by his partners, Jim Bridger who stayed with glass for a time, was one of the first of the white people to see yellowstone, John “grizzly” Adams who used the largest bear trap for the time to capture a live bear and later tame it and catch and train a variety of animals for local circuses are some of the

In life no one knows their actual fate and the story "Miles City, Montana" gives a true picture of just that. In this story, we see two different times and events that take place. The first event is the death of a childhood friend and the second is an almost unexpected tragedy that makes a woman think back to the childhood catastrophe. Munro uses mostly dialog to help give the reader a description of the theme in her story. In "Miles City, Montana," Alice Munro discusses some realities of life: how drastically things can change, and how quickly and unexpectedly death can come.
