with a kid. Furious was definitely a word that described Lila at that moment. She tried and tried again to organize a meeting with the Head, but to no avail. Many people didn't even believe her when she told them about Cece. “It had been a dream.” “You're going crazy”. Maybe she was going crazy. Lila was so deep in thought that she hadn't heard the footsteps walking in her direction. “So you understand what it means to be rejected?” A shiver ran down Lila’s spine as the voice came from right behind her.

Burn and feel the pain I had!” Cece yelled out to Lila. Burning? “Those stupid little annoying brats!” She didn't mean… “Oh god,” Lila whispered to herself. She didn't, did she? She couldn't have! Turning around, she ran towards the middle of the town, near where Josh’s house was. As she ran, Lila took notice of the once blue sky turning a dark gray and black. It was smoke, and a lot of it, too. Lila finally came to a stop after she reached her destination. It was the elementary school, and it was burning. The sound of the crackling flames was so overpowering that Lila nearly had to cover her ears. The heat pricked at her skin. And the smell, oh the smell. It was so smokey, and it had a hint of what smelled like beef in a frying pan. She knew what that smell

    The first notable aspect of this passage is Adriana's anger towards her naïve sister, Luciana. With the first line of the scene, we are able to gain an understanding of both who Adriana is as a person, as well as some of the more personal issues she may be experiencing within her marriage to Antipholus of Ephesus (2.1.1-3). Specifically, her statement that "neither my husband nor the slave returned that in such haste I sent to seek his master" indicates that this may not be the first time this has happened. The tone of her voice is not necessarily that of anger, but rather one that is both worried and hurt by the perceived adulterous acts committed by her husband. If his tardiness has developed into a pattern, Adriana may feel that she is losing her husband to another woman.…
