Jennifer Armstrong has utilized multiple types of narrative structures, Jennifer believes that a short story is only one of many narrative structures. We create narrative with jokes, ballads, tales, novels, poems, anecdotes, etc... While there are many satisfactions to be found in the conventional beginning-middle-end narrative that is common in short fiction for kids. After 9/11, she wrote that books can be the "enemy of violent zealotry" and work against chaos and fear.
