“She won’t listen to me at all!” Mercy paced around in the girls’ bathroom. “I told her to stay away from them, they’re bad. What does she do? Eats out with them.” “You should be thanking me.” Missy crossed her arms. “Now she knows who they are, and maybe I’ll do a piece on those two and she’ll believe–” “Absolutely not! What you put in your newspaper looked like nothing more than some conspiracy theory bullshit they wouldn’t believe. It accomplished nothing, and, most importantly, could’ve embarrassed them in front of the whole school. Our superiors said to hold off ‘until all four meet each other or a dire situation arises’, whichever comes first.” “The members are in a dire situation. The very things that could corrupt them are breathing …show more content…
“Tell me, Blabbermouth, what would you have done if you were me, hmm?” Missy lowered her head and twiddled her thumbs, yet not one word left her. “Exactly. Those two told me to either let them kill all the members or I lose access to Headquarters, and you know they could take that away from me. I did what I could to protect them. Besides, I have other superior here with me to talk with. Before I forget, there’s something you need to understand.” Mercy came close to Missy and put her hand under Missy’s chin, lifting it up to make eye contact. In a barely audible whisper, she continued. “Just like I have my superiors, you have yours. I am above you, not the other way around. You might be able to dream, but I can wipe them all from your memory and add in my own. I don’t think you know my reputation; everyone who crossed the line never made it back. No exceptions for cute, ditzy humans like yourself.” She roughly let go of her chin and made toward the door in a haste. Mercy never wanted them to go that far, but Missy wasn’t one to comply. Mercy learned in her training days to never shy from putting her foot down, even with the people she became close to. Remembering the last bit, she walked back into her study
You see, Mercy, why I couldn’t write” (pg 47). She makes up her mind and runs to a family whom she has never met, without even writing to them. Once she reaches Connecticut, Kit is disappointed at the first sight of land, “The bleak line of shore surrounding the gray harbor was a disheartening contrast to the shimmering green and white that fringed the turquoise bay of Barbados which was her home.” (Pg 7). Once she reaches her aunt and uncle’s house, it is a huge culture shock for her.
"Only look up clear: To alter favour ever is to fear. Leave all the rest to me"
There is filth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muck-rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed … There are, in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man … I hail as a benefactor … every man who … makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely
or who will be injured by what you do?” Still indomitable was the reply: “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad—as I am now.
"There is no point in fighting us!" Each one shouted, clearly rehearsing it a few times beforehand. "Your precious Peacekeeper will be dead within minutes! Join us and see what wonders await for you outside of these boarders!"

“Well can’t you just ask some of the other chancellors to see if they want to join the whole movement?” Johnny said.
Mercy: Pst! Elizabeth! Over here! (She puts her arms through the bars and motions Elizabeth towards her.) It is me, Mercy! Come here, Elizabeth.
She said:“Get off my back, I don’t want to hear it.” “If you don’t set me free, I would forgive you” Her face was convulsed with
“Play dumb if you want. I’m going to go meet them, the public is allowed to speak with them until their execution.” Rosie said, running off.
With my last name being O’Connell, it is obvious that my ancestry originates from Ireland. My whole life, I have had hopes to learn more about family’s history, and there is no better way to do so than experiencing the notable Irish landmarks, unique traditions, and diverse population firsthand. I am fascinated by Ireland’s breathtaking cliffs, historic ruins, old churches, and scenic castles, and I am ecstatic to be able to see it with my own eyes. I understand that going abroad is a privilege, but I believe it is an opportunity everyone should seek. Traveling and discovery makes one a more well-rounded individual, and if one never leaves their little corner of the world, they are only going to be familiar with their own culture. The more
I got up and walked to my bedroom door. Reaching my hand forward, I grasped the handle and turned it. I slowly pulled the door, and it opened. On the other side of the door was an empty suitcase. Mom wanted me to pack up to go to New Mexico. Respectfully, I grabbed the case and decided that if I’m going, I at least should be packed up.
I was torn with the joy of getting to speak to my friend and anger of the circumstances. "That's not fair, Watari! I quit a while ago. I got a job that normal people do and doesn't require any brainpower. I pay my rent and do my taxes. I have a boyfriend who cares about me and friends that enjoy being around me. I have a life here. It-It isn't fair to ask me to pick up and leave what I have made for myself, what makes me happy, to fix the mistake you made. You hear me? It's not fair," I hissed through clenched teeth. I was staring down at the countertop.
I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
