Therefore, she allows them to spread rumors about her and certain sexual exploitations.

The typewriter clacks, a first morning’s light shines in through the window, and one girl sits alone, writing. In Richard Wilbur’s poem “The Writer,” a father listens and thinks as his daughter types away on a story. Much work would have to go into re-creating this scene in actuality and the details would be extremely important.
