"Neon Scars" by Wendy Rose was a very deep story. In it, she refers to both physical and emotional scars that she has gotten throughout her lifetime. The physical scars are real scars on her body and the emotional are the pain she goes through because she was never accepted into her family because she was of mixed race. I believe she chose the title "Neon Scars" because neon is very noticeable and cannot be hidden. I believe this is her way of "airing her dirty laundry" so to speak.
The way the story is written is also very unique. She writes it in a way that it constantly switches from normal form to poem form. I think she does this so the reader never gets a sense of stability, just like she never had a sense of stability in her life. You could tell that she never knew what was going to happen in her life, just like you never knew when the story was going to switch form.
