He didn’t know what to do with himself. Does he cry? Does he move on? He needs answers. But to what questions? Two couple of days ago, the camp had discovered that it wasn’t Murphy that killed poor, innocent Wells, it was the youngest of them all, Charlotte. Just before Murphy was about to die of suffocation from getting hanged for supposedly killing Wells, as Clarke had realised that it was his knife near Well’s dead body, Charlotte spoke up and revealed that she was in fact, the killer of Wells. Rightfully so, Murphy was beyond furious and wanted revenge for almost dying of the death penalty even though he pleaded and pleaded that he didn’t commit the crime. He asked the crowd of delinquents if they want the real murderer hung like they had just moments ago. When no one replied back with the …show more content…
He couldn’t figure out how the hell you managed to survive, but he didn’t have time to care. All he cared about is getting you to safety and your wounds tendered to. “My s-shoulder…I can’t move it.” “I t-thought you were dead…” His voice broke as he carefully picked you up from the shoulder, trying not to irritate your dislocated shoulder while doing the thing he thought he’d never be able to do again. His kiss was salty, due to both of your tears had trailed to your lips, but you two didn’t mind as it was a kiss of pure love.

Clarke got straight to work with you, tending to your gash on your head and popping your shoulder back in place with the help of Bellamy. With Octavia being over the moon with happiness with the news of you being very much alive, she got straight to work with helping you out as much as she can. She had made you a sling for you arm out of one of the ripped shirts that had no use for anyone

    I predict that Charlotte Grimké and her daughter Hetty Handful Grimké, will achieve freedom from being enslaved to the Grimkés, a white aristocratic family. It is likely that the two African-American slaves, Charlotte and Handful, will become free because they are determined.

However, missus is reluctant to allow Charlotte to work for other employers due to her irrational fear of Charlotte working harder for them, which in turn causes Charlotte to clandestinely and illegally hire herself out. Charlotte is willing to deceive her white owner, which…

    Charlotte Dacre, an English Gothic novelist, frequently challenged the norms of women’s etiquette of her time. She freely depicted violence and aggression. As Dunn puts it, “the hermeneutics of violence in Dacre’s fiction often splits along [these] lines: it is coded positively in relation to sexual justice, as the murderous rages of her anti-heroines are lent no small degree of credence and legitimacy in the context of a larger gender injustice; and it is coded negatively in relation to the value of love, for Dacre’s violent women always end tragically alone, cast out, spiteful, and often dead” (Dunn 311). One of the Dacre’s heroines, to who this notion of Dunn can be applied, is Victoria de Loredani, a character in Zofloya, or the Moor (1806). She is a daughter of Marchese di Loredani, who resided in one the Venetian palazzos.…

    Sitting in the barn, I began to reminisce of my life prior to living in this village; a time when I lived with my parents near a stream, of which I can’t recall the official name. I was referred to as a socialite, as I enjoyed getting to know strangers in order to understand them and befriend them, and I used to pride myself on my judge of character, which I believed to be “top notch”, if you will, and my wanting to aid those in need. In the twilight of one winter morning, similar to that of today, however winter was in its more primitive phase, I decided to take a stroll in hopes of clearing my head before the day of work began. I noticed a man of seemingly low morale lying motionless near the stream, just staring at his reflection in the…
