Indledning
Decisions are something you have to make throughout your life. It's not always easy or fun, but it's necessary. When is it the right time to do it? Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the wrong decision. It's too late to change it.
In the story “Are we nearly there”, written by the London based writer Kate Smally Ellis, the main character has to make choices, but do not think about the consequences.
Through flashbacks, self hatred thoughts and an annoyingly paranoid mother who won't shut up, we enter the mind of the 17 year old main character Jen, who is driving on the highway with her family, Mother, Father and Sister.
