    Torrey Grey recently lost her sister. She was hit and killed by a drunk driver. The book explains how Torrey is mourning the loss of her sister, Miranda.

Although, Torrey doesn’t want to express her emotions towards them, she is treating them poorly as if she was taking the anger out on them.…

    Essay On Margaret Herzog

In these films, Herzog always explores a fiercely individualistic and personal theme (communication vs. isolation, human beings’ relationship with a harsh and warlike nature, or the…
