Monica Murray chose to investigate the pseudoscience of horoscopes. A horoscope is something a person writes to determine one’s future based on their zodiac sign.

The people then had to determine which one was more accurate and depending on the resulting number, it would prove the accuracy of horoscopes. According to Monica, she does not agree with horoscopes because a zodiac should and cannot tell you about yourself.

Similar to how Mr. Freeman was always available to listen to Melinda, Mr. Santos my GLE teacher made me feel like he was always available to listen.

    Using the murder of Dee Ann’s mother as a means to intertwine the lives of the characters together, Steve Yarbrough examines the nature of relationships in “The Rest of Her Life.” The relationships in the story take a turn after Dee Ann’s mother is killed, with characters seeking to act more on their own, creating distance between many relationships throughout the story. Independent lifestyles prevent emotional bonds that hold relationships together from forming, thus preventing the characters from maintaining healthy relationships. The dysfunctional relationship present between Dee Ann and Chuckie in “The Rest of Her Life” is the result of the characters ' desire for self-gratification.

    ...sage that affected her the most, the one that had the most influence on the creating of the Crisis Text Line. Young people shouldn’t have to feel alone when they’re having hard times. Young people shouldn’t have to be so afraid of going to school because they’re being bullied by their classmates. They shouldn’t feel like they have to commit suicide because of all pain that is in their life. They shouldn’t have to resort to cutting to relieve emotional pain or desolation. Young people shouldn’t have to worry about being sexually abused by the one’s closest to them. It happens, though, none of which should, but it does. Are we going to sit around and let it happen, or are we going to do something about it? Are we going to show young people today that we love them and care about them and want them to succeed in life? Are we going to show them that we are there for them?

  • Peer Pressure In The Book Speak

    917 Words  | 2 Pages

    Her friends always asked her for help doing some things, good and bad, but she did her best to stay away from that kind of things. Like on page 106 in the novel when her friend Heather says “When you get through a life sucks phase, I’m sure lots of people will want to be your friend. But you just can’t cut classes or not show up to school. What’s next-- hanging out with the dopers?” and Melinda replies “Is this the part where you try to be nice to me?” and Heather replies “You just have a reputation.” This shows how negative peer pressure affects people, like how Heather thinks that she will end up hanging out with druggies, because she has already been pressured into skipping school and class. Andy Evans, the guy who raped her, always put himself around her, almost as peer pressure to not tell anyone, because he knew he could overpower her and that he was intimidating to her. Although Melinda had gone through a lot in her first year of high school, peer pressure had affected her, and she tried to seem invisible to everyone, until she finally figured out where she belonged and who she was, then exposing Andy Evans which allowed everyone

  • The Zodiac Signs and Human Behavior

    1095 Words  | 3 Pages

    The argument is that some people question why the description of the sign does not fit them. The answer is that there are three parts to the birth chart: the sun, the moon, and the ascendant. The sun (fast) travels through all 12 zodiac signs during the course of approximately a year. The moon (faster) travels through all 12 zodiac signs during the course of approximately a month, and the ascendant (fastest): travels through all 12 zodiac signs during the course of a 24 hour day. Also, a birth chart and interpretation or either a horoscope and compatibility report cannot be accurate for everyone born under a specific zodiac sign unless the astrologer has accurate information about the time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Sometimes the time is not known and an astrologer will use 12:01 P.M. which, while not as accurate as it should be, will put one as close to the target as possible. Without this information everything one reads about one’s sign anywhere will be generalized information.
