Promises made to the family of Miss Emily Grierson are only a small part of her life as written

Isolation has a major impact on the brain at the molecular level (Underwood 1). Studies conducted at Harvard Medical School show that isolation stunts the communication of neurons throughout the body, leading to severe emotional instability (Underwood 2). At face value, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Lord of the Flies by William Golding are skillful depictions of what occurs when youths are isolated from the rest of society. Occurring in dystopian realities, groups of youths are left stranded

The number of pieces isn’t significant, but never before have I written so prolifically and passionately by constantly jotting down whatever comes to my mind. Although I trip up with word choice or wordiness once in a while, I have studied vocabulary extensively, so it no longer retards me but takes a back seat to grammar. Having grown up in an education system whose focus was saturated with grammar and other language rules, the mistakes are even more dispiriting and disgraceful as they obstruct
