04/21-Walk the Line

Authors include powerful, shocking, or even disturbing events to either prove a point or entertain the reader. Oftentimes, I do not enjoy these type of inclusions because I feel like the same point may have been proven in a different way. Are they necessary? It really is not for me to say; though I do believe that they are affective. But for me, that affect is almost always negative, leaving me enraged and confused. Society has unwittingly forced people to become callous to the misery of others. Ergo if a writer wants to write a powerful book or passage, it will take even more for that writer to breach the callous society has developed.
