How much do you love checkers mate? So much that you would put them all over your head? This man clearly has a passion for the checkered style that was in and out quicker than it took to finish the work on his face. I find it hard to believe anyone loves checkers so much that they think they will be deeply in love with them for the rest of their lives.

A blank expression. I was hoping to seek comfort from, but instead all little hope I had left just evaporated.

rages over Jigsaw's brutal legacy, as a group of Jigsaw survivors gather to seek the support of a fellow Jigsaw survivor Bobby Dagen, who wrote a book on his survival from Jigsaw and whose own dark secrets unleash a new surge of terror. Kevin Greutert’s, Saw VII: The Final Chapter, qualifies as a modern Captivity Narrative because it includes Jigsaw dehumanizing his victims by placing them in very gruesome situations, shows how uncivilized Jigsaw was being in these “games” he created, and forces…

continent it was called pangaea. 200 million years ago pangaea started to break up, the pieces drifter apart to their current position. My first proof I will be explaining is jigsaw fit. This makes sense because south america and africa fit well together. And europe and north america fit well together also it's a jigsaw puzzle, that is only one of my reasons.

reducing or eliminate it by implementing serious policies such as zero-tolerance policies that many schools have for weapons, drugs, and sometimes fighting (Aronson 71). Lastly, the authors major theme is introducing the "jigsaw" classroom method and address its problems and benefits.
