"APPEAL FROM AN ANGRY NOT SO EMO"

Another one of the pieces I read today was written by Kali Moriary. It is titled "Appeal From an Angry Not So Emo" and was edited into the book Red: the Next Generation of American Writers--Teenage Girls--On What Fires Up Their Lives Today. The author expresses her frustration with the hate that surrounds us today and we learn that the author/narrator is an outsider, and is mocked on a regular basis by her peers. Moriary takes the cliche of being left out or being picked on and makes it personal by adding in her own personal experiences and views on the subject. For example, she believes that hate is all around us and--like authority--nobody cares. Her story is effective because everyone can relate to what she is saying, and is also quite enjoyable because her dramatic style makes the story an exciting one to read.
