    1. With Annie Leibovitz, Sontag maintained a relationship stretching from the later 1980s until her final years.

      This section goes over Sontag's sexuality and a little but of detail of the relationships she was in. I feel like there is more to be said about this part of her life but then again they left this part out of her obituary. My question us did they fix it or? Did Annie not say anything or I missing something?

    2. She wrote and directed four films and also wrote several plays, the most successful of which were Alice in Bed and Lady from the Sea.

      This section went over her fictional works not just essays and novels but also other forms of literature as well as some of the inspiration.

    3. At age 67, Sontag published her final novel In America (2000). The last two novels were set in the past, which Sontag said gave her greater freedom to write in the polyphonic voice:

      A brief description on Susans last novel as well as the inspiration for it below (I believe)

    4. Her essays and speeches drew controversy,[3] and she has been described as "one of the most influential critics of her generation."

      Everything before this sentence was just a brief summary of what Susan Sontag is known for and what she accomplished in her life time.

    5. Allegations of plagiarism

      Someone pointed out to Sontag that she had plagiarized in her 12 of her passages. My understanding is that she did not cite, then backed it up by saying she had totally transformed the idea which does not make it plagiarism.. Correct me If I am wrong!
