Abstract:
This thesis is supposed to be the "capstone" of my college career at Ball State. I don't see it as the "capstone" to my career at Ball State but as a building block in my writing career. Snacks is a collection of short stories that I have put together with care over the past few months. I like to question what the characters and stories mean to me and what they will mean to others. Humor is present in all of these stories in some manner that reflects my perspective on life. Despite their many flaws, the characters that are contained within the following pages have all become close to my heart. They are alike in that they are like eggshells and may crack under the slightest duress. I hope that you find Snacks as enjoyable as I have found it exciting to write.
