The fictional world is constantly evolving its philosophies relating to the understanding of texts with the new writing style, Postmodernism. Specifically, the works of Postmodernist writers are increasingly subject to interpretation, as there is a literary shift from linearity and order to randomness and fragmentation. However, Postmodernists believe in and promote different interpretations of texts, which in their opinion is the basis for creativity and ultimately the development of innovative ideas in society. One Postmodernist writer, Kurt Dinan chooses to write in a nonlinear, flexible fashion with a component of Mystery, allowing the reader to create different predictions on what will occur throughout the novel Don’t Get Caught. Moreover, the ability to predict and analyze uniquely is one of the principal ideals of Postmodernist literature because the Mystery genre allows the reader to make predictions based on clues planted by the author.

In today’s society, there is a wide variety of family configurations which are constantly changing and adapting to things such as cultural diversity, divorce rates, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs. The “typical” family, (commonly seen in American 1950’s television sitcoms) is a rarity in 2015. Problems with communication arise when one makes assumptions about another person’s family dynamic.

Same-sex families are also on the rise as sexual ambiguity is undergoing its own wave of acceptance in all political, social, and economic spheres.
