Finally the bell rings for lunch. I went to the lunch line when we got to the cafeteria. At least they had pizza today. When I got my lunch I went to sit down with my best friend Emily. I told her what happened and she says, “That’s horrible!” Then Sylvia suddenly sat down across from me and says, “So, did you like your new sweater?” She said it sarcastically and then stared at me with a grin. She said looked like a hawk about to dive for its prey. Then Emily says, “Oh shut up Sylvia!” Sylvia rolled her eyes and got up to sit with her group of rude girls. I was happy that Emily was defending me.
Then Phyllis walks over and says, “Hey Rachel, um I just wanted to say sorry for not telling Mrs. Price that the sweater was mine. I was

    Triumph In Faulkner's Sadistic-Passive Personality

    I witnessed an unbridled passive/ aggressive personality whose pattern impedes an unprecedented arrest and disturbance. The savage hostile personality hosted a unique personality sub-type. The quiet aggressor disconcerting since thoughtless, and an undisciplined pursuit of a self-serving agenda serve priority, and quite willing to run over those whom perceived as standing in her way. She'll do whatever it takes to “win,” and secure the dominant position, or get something she wanted. Still, for most of the passive/aggressive personalities, causing pain and injury to others is not her primary objective.…

    Justice In Faulkner's A Lesson Before Dying

    In A Lesson Before Dying,an African American man is wrongly convicted of murder. Jefferson's attorney completely dehumanizes Jefferson in order to use reverse psychology on the jury. This was unnecessary because during the 1940’s people of color were never declared innocent even if they were. Basically if you were black no justice would be served. Furthermore, the attorney makes it clear that Jefferson is no where close to being a man and therefore shouldn’t be killed.…

    Identity In Faulkner's Savage By Flannery O Connor

    In the name of the protagonist are prefigured tensions and polarities that span the life of the character and also their society of origin. On one side is Clare, clear, and the other is Savage, wild, a term associated with darkness. She is the daughter of a "more white" father, descended from English planters, and a "rather dark" mother. This original tension between a father who seems to be able to "pass" for white and a mother who feels closer in their acceptance of black heritage, will be decisive in many moments of her life. It is for her resemblance to the father, for example, that the mother leaves her with him in America.…

    We dash through the olive trees, Shrieks of laughter reach my ears, I hide among the branches and leaves, With joy, my heart beats as fast as can be, One by one my friends are caught, And as I watch them, I giggle a lot, Until finally it’s me who is found, And the orchard is filled with joyous sounds. Game over.…
