WRITING OBSTACLE
Start a story with a syllogism.
A syllogism is a rhetorical device that makes use of deductive thinking. It usually follows the format of āA is B. B is C. So A is C.ā An example may be: Killing is evil. An assassin kills people. So an assassin must be evil.
Friend
Iām friends with Mariam. Mariamās friends with Claire. So I must be friends with Claire. But Iām not. I hate Claire.
Claire is a bitch. I canāt stand her. Itās hard to be friends with Mariam when sheās friends with Claire. No one is nice to Claire except Mariam. Everyone is nice to Mariam.
Mariam doesnāt actually like Claire. She is just a pushover. Her being a pushover gets annoying. Thatās one thing Claire and I agree on.
Claire doesnāt want Mariam to be friends with me. I donāt want Mariam to be friends with Claire. Maybe Iām just as bad as Claire.
