-how does the writing and the stories effect her?
A composition notebook becomes Jackie’s first window into writing. She does not remember who gave her the notebook, or when, but she knows that she is in love with the book for the smell of the pages and the promise of what can be written inside it. Jackie loves to hear the sound of the pencils she uses on the paper. The mere act of writing delights her. She does everything from writing down what she hears other people say, to what she hears on television, to creating her own stories and ideas in the notebook. It propels her along toward her dream of writing.
