“in speaking of my mother you have touched a string to which my heart fully responds. to have known her is to be an object of great interest in my eyes. i myself never knew her—and never knew the affection of a father. both died (as you may remember) within a few weeks of each other. i have many occasional dealings with adversity—but the want of parental affection has been the heaviest of my trials.”

in this passage, the author quotes poe to define

a. a cause of his dark themes.
b. an effect of his dark themes.
c. the central idea of his dark themes.
d. the relationships in his dark themes.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
