Hi, I am college student, and for one of my classes we are working with wikipedia as a medium. For my final, we are publishing content to wikipedia articles that we deem as having content gaps that we can fill. I was given "A Stolen Life", and plan on publishing changes in the coming days. Some of these changes are to create an analysis section, a genre section, and a publication section. I also added several points to the background section, and attempted to better modernize the article.

I have several proposed changes that are present on my sandbox, and can be cited using my annotated bibliography that is also present in my sandbox. I felt this page deserved to have a much more detailed page then what is currently there because of all the information that is present about Jaycee Dugard's kidnapping by the Garridos. There was a ton of information present about the matter. This article develops a lot of the underlying emotional aspects of what is an incredibly traumatic experience that on wikipedia hasn't been elaborated on, except for the actual physical kidnapping.Will Prout — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wdprout (talk • contribs) 18:30, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
