    The author of Bleachers, John Grisham, tries to create a comparison between Cameron, the Lady, and Screamer, the Tramp, only exploring certain characteristics of each woman. Implied by her lovely nickname, Screamer was Neely’s “hot to trot” girlfriend, and through her promiscuity she is interpreted as a bitter, sad woman in her older years (Grisham 97).

Each woman was affected by Neely in their relationships and the different perspectives they had on life.

    Spring was a very hefty chapter that included many pivotal points in the book for many characters. These changes are foreshadowed by the point Claudia made at the beginning of Spring by associating the change in season with being beaten which ties in with the events of the following chapters that involve oppression or pain of some sort.

Further, in the chapter, the events involving Mrs. Breedlove and Polly add to a point I made in class during the discussion…
