Interesting perspective. This is an approach to the challenge word I like a lot. You are right. There is a certain degree of perception one must consider when looking at the big picture.
Life, regardless of which part of the country or world you come from, does not revolve around the same big picture. Not everyone is someone else’s champ. This is reflected in your writing.
I am looking forward to what you write next. I am sure, given what we have seen thus far, your future work will be every bit as gripping as what you have written here.
