She was late to lunch, like usual her teacher from the class before lunch wanted to speak with her. Usually she just wanted to speak with Rebecca about her grades or if she felt like she was doing okay in class. She stopped by the bathroom to freshen up. Rebecca stopped by the mirror, looking at her reflection, her deep brown eyes, short slicked up black hair, and the piercings on her lips and eyebrow. After splashing some water on her face and wiping the water off with a paper towel. Sighing contently, Rebecca turned around. Her eyes widened, her lips parting in shock. Falling to the floor, she inched away from the pale blue, or maybe white, could it be purple figure in front of her. Not only was the pigment of this figure alarming but the person in front of her had deep black holes for eyes and no legs, it wasn’t helping that she could see right past the …show more content…

It’s rude to ask someone what they are. If you really must now, I’m a ghost and I think I’ve been here long enough to not be patronized by someone who isn’t even supposed to be able to see me!” The words rushed from her mouth like a waterfall, she has never had to deal with a situation like this before and it was very unnerving. After Rebecca had some time to soak in the ghost’s nervous rambling she raised an eyebrow. Ghosts? Those aren’t even real. They’re just some made up monster to scare kids with on Halloween night. But maybe… This is a ghost, and for her whole life when she was being skeptic towards ghosts even being a possibility while one was right

Lennie Small was killed by George Milton at the end of the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. “Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place....With us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us” (Steinbeck 13-14). That quote basically describes Lennie and George's relationship to each other. Murder is something done with anger and to end a person’s life that should have not been ended. George had all the aspects of a murderer, he basically planned the murder of Lennie Small. George was not even accused for killing Lennie, everyone was happy and that is not right. Also George should have let Lennie escape to the cave and let Lennie live freely. Being said, George in all right, should be considered a murderer and not a savior.

    The ghosts were hallucinations, and like many mental disorders, her condition escalated with every hallucination she saw. She began telling Mrs. Grose, her only friend and confidante at Bly manor, but a few discrepancies appeared. As the governess narrated her visions of the ghosts, she gave very few visual details, only location, body language, and what she felt as she saw them. Details of their appearance came when she told Mrs. Grose, who then filled in her own descriptions of the ex-coworkers Peter Quint and Miss Jessel. This only fueled the governess and allowed her to draw her own crazed conclusions. However, every time she told the kindly housekeeper of her visions, Mrs. Grose trusted her less and less, eventually causing the complete loss of trust between the two, leaving the governess alone in her fight against her unstable

    Ow. My head hurts. It has been lying against this wall for at least an hour now. I scratched the back of my head to move around my dark, curly hair. It was beginning to feel plastered against my scalp. It was a bit tangled from not brushing it for a day and my fingers did not run through it with ease; nevertheless, it felt good to keep the blood flowing. I was lying on a thin, light blue mat on the floor. My head was propped up against the cold wall as if it were a concrete pillow. My chin dug into my chest and I could feel the soft, warm material from my sleeveless sweater cushioning my jaw. I looked down. I could see the ends of my hair cascading over my shoulders. The red highlights matched quite nicely with my maroon sweater. My arms were folded over my belly and they appeared more pale than usual. My knees were bent, shooting upward like two cliffs. My baggy blue jeans covered the backs of my fake brown leather shoes. ("Christy, let me borrow your pants, the baggy ones with the big pockets. I can hide more stuff in those.")
