Lindsay Anderson

Cause & Effect Lindsay Anderson

Publisher Marketing: Dear Journal, My head is pounding and my wrist is tingly. When I fainted, I hit my head against my computer desk and fell hard on my right wrist. Unfortunately, I also remember why I fainted. Marilyn and Julianne had sent me hurtful and ugly messages via my Facebook inbox. How they were able to send me messages, I don't know. After all, I have them blocked. Because of how angry and hurt I was, and how much I had been crying, I somehow fainted. The next thing I know, I am waking up in the pediatric hospital. My parents, Ava, McKenzie, and their families are sitting around me. People are crying. Ava and McKenzie are attempting to hug me, and vice versa, but their parents and my parents are preventing us from doing so. When I ask why my head and wrist hurt, the doctors remind me that I fainted, hit my head, and broke my right wrist in two places. They also explained that when I fell, I cut my forehead open. Well, that explains why there are five stitches on the very far right side of my forehead. On a different note, I will be able to come home on Monday. However, the doctors don't want me to return to school until the following Monday. Even though I love school, my friends and my teachers, I am glad that I am getting a small break from it. After what happened with Marilyn and Julianne, I am kind of apprehensive and afraid to return. -C Contributor Bio:  Anderson, Lindsay In cinema and in theatre, Lindsay Anderson was one of the most innovative, independent and influential directors of the twentieth century.
