Arden was yelling at another student, and although it was loud, the argument hadn't reached being physical yet. Surprisingly, she had restrained herself from shoving the kid's quiz down his throat. No, she thought, punching is more effective.
This is what she got for minding her own business. They had just received their grades for the quiz they took last week, and remarkably Arden had received a decent grade on it. She supposed it was the tutoring, but she didn't think Elijah's head could get any bigger. Unfortunately, tutoring seemed to be helping too much, as people seemed to think she's cheating.
First, her teacher gave her a suspicious look returning her quiz. Then, she saw Erik looking at her score.
"No way you got that," He said under
She quickly finished cleaning and went to bed to get some rest, as she lay in bed she turned on her phone and could see that her social media accounts were blowing up with the search for the mystery senior that had Tristan going crazy. The minute that he posted a tweet that said he had her cap almost everyone in the entire school had replied saying it was theirs. This made Armani laugh and thinking nothing of it she replied with a comment “wonder who’s” with that she went to
Now I wished that I could pen a letter to my school to be read at the opening assembly that would tell them how wrong we had all been. You should see Zachary Taylor, I’d say.” Lily is realizing now that beauty comes in all colors. She is also again being exposed to the fact that her way of being raised was wrong, that years and years of history was false. “The whole time we worked, I marveled at how mixed up people got when it came to love.
Over the coming months, Alice faces her friends and family, who look and treat her differently after the rape. She faces the criticism from her family and fellow officials who question the act. Sebold deals with th...
Melinda had several times through the year where if she had asked for help, her life would have drastically improved. An instant of such is near the beginning of the school year, where Melinda notices her friend Rachel in the bathroom. On page 21 the text reads, “I want to grab her by the neck and shake her and scream at her to stop treating me like dirt. She didn't even bother to find out the truth—what kind of friend is that?” No matter the attitude of Rachel, Melinda did not bother to communicate with Rachel, which prevented her from learning about what actually happened. If Melinda had spoken, she would have gained necessary emotional help from her friend, and it would have infinitely improved her condition during her freshman year. Melinda did not understand the power of words, until she could not speak. Luckily, after a few negative incidents throughout her freshman year, Melinda finds the courage to speak out and ask others if they can relate to her traumatic occurrence, her rape at the party. She scribbles a note in the bathroom stall, writing, “Guys to Stay Away From”, then proceeded to write Andy Evans name. And though this method was anonymous, it helped her find those that also stayed silent. “There's more. Different pens, different handwriting, conversations between some writers, arrows to longer paragraphs. It's better than taking out a billboard. I feel
The next unclear situation is when the Governess learns of Miles’ expulsion. This is one of the main mysteries within this story. The question, “What does it mean? The child’s dismissed his school,” is the only question that the reader has throughout the conversation between the Governess and Mrs. Grose (165). Even though their conversation does inform the reader that the school has “absolutely decline[d]” Miles, it doesn’t clarify what exactly he has done to be expelled (165). The Governess comments, “That he’s an injury to the others” and “to corrupt” are her own opinions as to why Miles was expelled (165, 166). Nevertheless, her comment does not help the reader in any way because the remark in and of itself is unclear. Her first comment suggests that Miles might be causing physical harm to other students but her second ...

Unpopular opinion time. In my review policy, I specifically state that I am going to be honest with my reviewing – and this is going to be one of those times when it hurts. You know the pain when you’re excited for something and then it lets you down faster than you partners in a group project ever could? Yea, well, this was one of those times. I had such high hopes for Tonight the Streets Are Ours, the cover is gorgeous, the synopsis was intriguing, and there was some serious marketing going on before this book was released – but the book itself failed on epic proportions. I hate giving bad reviews, I have this inadvertent need to love every single book, so when I can’t make myself like it – tolerate it even – no matter how hard I try, it
Throughout time we have seen people have the innate ability to manipulate the minds of others; many are able to do this due to having gift naturally from birth. In the Salem Witch Trials many saw the weaknesses in their society as an opportunity to give succor to their own ambitions.

"Fools make researches and wise men exploit them." Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines the word plagiarize as to pass off as one's own the ideas or words of another. Every student knows that plagiarism is dishonest and wrong. Why do so many students do it? Students themselves may not believe that they are plagiarizing. Many students plagiarize because of the diverse types of plagiarism which are often unknown to students. The three major types of plagiarism are shameless, haphazard and self-plagiarism. Self-plagiarism is a relatively new concept that has not gained much attention in the student world.
Jeanne decided, that she would go along with society for once, if they wanted her to be the problem child who didn’t go along with everything they said, she wouldn’t be. Jeanne decided that she shouldn’t have to listen to the same words every day “Why can’t you be a normal child?”, “Why do say such horrible things?”, “Why don't you follow along like everyone else?”, and “Why do you keep bullying your classmates?”. Jeanne had enough of the lectures, of the accusations, and she had especially had enough of everyone telling her she wasn’t
She explained that the boys are constantly compared to one another at home. Bob and Billy both play flag football and are constantly competing against one another on the field for their dad’s approval. Their father takes the son that scored the most touchdowns to dinner by themselves. Bob and Billy’s’ mother also stacks them against each other at home by only providing desert to the son that finishes their math fact sheet first. The aid explains that they have never been able to play together because they are always trying to be better than one another. She suggests that the boys be separated into different classrooms when they get back from break so that they can finally have something that is just theirs. The teacher and principal agreed that this was a good idea and they came to the agreement that both of the boys would leave their current classroom so that favoritism was not an issue. After the classroom change their behavior instantly changed for the better. They did not act out or disrespect the new teacher and classmates at
At the beginning of this novel and for the first several chapters, I saw Edna as a strong woman who wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself. Specifically, the fact that she was unhappy in her marriage. As we know, in the time set in the story it was exceedingly difficult to get a divorce especially when the reason is that the woman is unhappy. As sad as it sounds, that’s the way it was. As time went on, however, it became apparent that Edna always seemed to want something more. When she became infatuated with Robert, I was not necessarily surprised but rather dissapointed. In my opinion, cheating on your spouse behind their back is a horrible, immature action.
