My words are:
Writer and Pregnant

Identify and correctly use patterns of word changes that indicate different meanings or parts of speech
(e.g Writer, wrote, writing, pregnant, pregnancy, impregnate)

My article was about a writer named Lauren Groff who talked about her third book coming out. Lauren explained how she got the inspiration and ideas for her story. While writing her book, "The Monsters of Templeton," she explained how being pregnant helped change her view of our world. Once Lauren got impregnated her and her husband were a couple that represented a kind of utopian relationship which is where she got the ideas for her book. During her pregnancy, Lauren faced hormonal changes. She says, "I felt like there was a lot of passivity and cynicism, and I didn't feel as if anybody was doing anything to change it. So the book started out from a sense of sadness and a sense that I needed to find hope and idealism." Lauren wrote about "a 5-year-old boy living with his parents in a utopian community called Arcadia in western New York. When Bit is 14, the commune begins to fall apart, and he must grapple with facing "the real world" outside."In the article Groff does a Q&A about being pregnant and writing her book which has gotten alot of good critisism and reviews.
