Narrative Visual Perspective in English

For this unit in English we read a book of lyrical essays called Citizen. A lyrical essay is a cross between prose and poetry in that it tells a fairly linear story, but it is written with poetic techniques and line breaks. To write our own lyrical essays, we had to interview someone. I chose a close friend, who I won’t name, who has had serious issues with mental health in the past. This project was difficult because it was my first time writing a lyrical essay and I didn’t really know what to do, and i was dealing with a heavy subject matter.
