What if you could go back, to just one time, and change just one thing in your entire life that you have done? Would you? Spencer Fox certainly would. She was one of the most important women in the world. She was a philanthropist, media proprietor, and engaged to the man she loved. Several charities around the globe owe their success to her and her generosity. So what happened that left her reputation, and life, in ruins? It was a normal Wednesday for Spencer Fox. She walked into her office ready to start her day, and was greeted by her assistant Mary. As Mary ran down through the day’s itinerary, Spencer noticed something different in the schedule. She had a meeting scheduled with her sister. Spencer asked Mary when this meeting had been scheduled as she had not heard from her sister in years, and not for lack of trying, the …show more content…
woman just wouldn’t answer her calls. Mary told her she had just called in that morning and had figured it would be a happy surprise to fit into Spencer’s schedule. Spencer was so excited to see her sister again that she had trouble focusing on her work all morning.
Once she had finally gotten herself into her work, Mary called in to tell her that her friend was here. Spencer told her to let her in and stood up with a smile when the doors opened and went to hug her long-lost sister Samantha. Samantha eagerly returned the hug and the two exchanged pleasantries. Finally they sat down to discuss business. Sam looked worried as she sat, twiddling with her thumbs. Spencer asked her what was wrong, and Sam answered “I have some bad news to tell you that might ruin your life and reputation if not taken care of soon.” “What could possibly be that bad?” Spencer asked. “Our dear old father has gained parole.” “WHAT?! Why did the authorities not tell me?! “ Spencer’s father had been sent to jail for drinking and driving, however, in truth it had been Spencer driving drunk. Her father took the blame for her. She hasn’t visited her father in years. In order to forget what she had done, she forgot about her father and built her reputation and business from the ground up. If anyone found out, her life would be
ruined. “If we do not find him soon, he might tell the authorities the truth, how he lied to the court, and how it was really you, not him, that killed that poor man.” replied Sam. “We will find him before he does tell, I will find him and beg him not to tell.” declared Spencer. Just as Spencer went to pick up the phone, there came a knock on the door. Mary poked her head in saying “You might want to see this” as she turned on the TV. On the screen with the most infamous reporters, Brenda Oliver, known for her life ruining stories, was their father Finn. The caption under their live studio report read “Spencer Fox’s Father Tells All. How She is not the Saint Everyone Thinks She is” Sam and Spencer watched with horror as their father revealed the truth behind that night in the car, how her father came when she called for help and took all of the blame, a secret never meant to be revealed. Suddenly the door to Spencer’s office swung open and she was confronted by two policemen ready to take her into custody. Mary tried to tell them to stop, but Spencer told her to stand down. Saying “I will go with them willing so no one else has to be hurt.” Spencer walked out of the door. As Sam cried into Mary’s arms asking “Why?!?” Mary replied “It takes many good deeds to build up a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”

Even when examining Anna’s early relationship with Jeff, when she arranges for him to come up on weekends with Chuck. He protests saying, “Jesus, I don’t even know the guy…why didn’t you call me first” (Wallace, 315). Her insecurity about whether or not Jeff would come up on weekends without this convenience allowed for a lack of communication of feelings between Jeff and Anna. However, of more importance is Anna’s lack of communication with Peter. A large part of what makes Anna herself is her ability and love of creating stories. When her husband does not share this, Anna finds this challenging, and lets it become a barrier for communication. “His face set in the pained expression he wears for conversations like this – “What ifs” speculations. When Jennifer and I sit in a restaurant making up stories about the people around us, he closes his eyes, just as he’s doing now” (Wallace, 317). Peters almost dismissal through the closing his eyes of Anna’s love for story making allows for a distancing and ultimately a deep seeded feeling of isolation and

Almost three weeks had come and gone since the beginning of Susan’s disturbing addiction. Each day was the same, she would wake up in her funeral home of an apartment with a feeling of strange, inexplicable purpose.

They would sit together, drinking extravagant coffee and eating fresh blueberry scones, completely unaware of Susan’s prying eyes. Accordingly, when they would leave Susan would wait a customary two minutes before pursuing them.
