She made a quick pass over it with her handkerchief. Something wrong with her dress? She shot a glance over it. Perfectly all right. What was it?”(17-18),…

that he would do absolutely anything to look perfect and good in Sheila’s eyes. This impacts the whole story since he is trying to change himself, such as not looking like he is a fisher and to be charming to Sheila. By changing himself, the narrator tries to act calm when in a panicky situation. As Sheila hesitates when the canoe goes backwards, the narrator hoarsely says “It’s just the current...No sweat or anything” (3).

An exoplanet is described as a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. The majority of the exoplanets scientists have discovered were found in the past two decades, mainly with the Kepler space telescope. These planets are all different in orbit, size, and type. Some are smaller than Jupiter, or even larger than Jupiter, but essentially all of the exoplanets that we know of a larger than the Earth.

Everything we soak up helps to transform us into the people we are today. We learn from different things we face in life whether they are good or bad. I can say that I have definitely evolved from my younger days. I never thought that psychology would be useful to me but after reading and studying it amazes me how much my…
