Borovnia's Argumentative Essay
Statement of intent:
This is a third POV story, set when Juliet was sent away from England to the Bahamas "for the good of her health". As Juliet was disconnected due to her separation from her family, I used few emotions coming from her, herself. I used her obsession with the "king and queen" book as a subtle reference to Borovnia. I made the child, Richard, five years old because Juliet has a personality younger than her age, and she ends up copying Richard. With this piece I was portraying the origins of Juliet's melodramatic personality. Juliet thinking she had scars was a good thing was also started here by Mary's "pushover" personality.

"Does that make me special?"
Mary bit her lip, she was contemplating whether she should tell Juliet that having scarred lungs wasn't a good thing, before she reminded herself that Juliet was only a child. Therefore she should not shoot her down.
"Sure, Juliet."
A bright smile lit up the nine year old's face, she started to bounce, excited, because she was special.
December 1947.
A smile graced Mary's face as she listened to Juliet's story. Her story featured grand kings and queens, princes and princesses, knights in shining armour, not unlike the faded, well read black book. Mary found it amusing at how obsessed the young girl was, the two other books Mary had bought at the same time remained untouched. When Juliet finished her story with an over excited flourish, Mary sung her praises. Mary smiled as she scooped Juliet into her arms and Juliet returned it two-fold, giggling. Juliet was so happy, she was finally getting the attention she needed. For the first time in the last year, she didn’t feel lonely.
