Talk:Missing the Mark/@comment-25170312-20151026223652

Very good. I'm not entirely sure if it's supposed to be literal or simply a social commentary, or both, and that's what I think is so strong about it. We're told very little about Mark but he still manages to be a vivid character. You did a great job of allowing many possibilities of why Mark is the way he is without being overly ambiguous. I couldn't confirm if he has a developmental disorder or if he is just bullied at school and possibly at home as well, or something else. The way Mark was treated by both students and faculty says so much about the culture of our schools and how it needs to change. I can clearly see Mark holding his finger gun to his head long after I finished reading. Great job!
