This article by Nora McCarthy talks about how writers should appeal to the reader. In Natasha's case, she was so fed up with expressing her anger, she missed what came out of it. Pauline, on the other hand, refused to use "I" in her essays to show her action. Instead, she would write about how abusive her father was. Nora told her to write about what Pauline felt and responded instead of only focusing on the others.
Readers don't only want to hear about the writer's pains and problems. They want to read about a story with a plot and ending, not just how much the pain the writer is in. I agree with Nora because she tells writers to express every aspect of their story. A story should contain viewpoints from all those involved with the story, not just an individual's viewpoint.
