"Catherine! Wake up! You overslept. Don 't want to be late on the first day of school, you have 30 minutes!" My over excited mum squeaked. I was 17 and yet she acts like I am a 10 year old on their birthday. So far, I have been to literally 12 different schools in the last 3 years, so it is hard being excited for another one. After about another 5 long minutes, I decided to finally get out of bed. "Honey, you have 5 minutes before we have to leave!" My mum yelled at the top of her lungs. "You…

Anyone with common sense knows that telling your wife or any other women to shut up is unacceptable behavior, but on page 6, Shirley Jackson writes "'Shut up, Tessie,' Bill Hutchinson said" (6). Usually, telling your wife to do anything along the lines of "shut up" would be unacceptable behavior. Even if Bill did not see anything wrong with what he said, someone would usually speak out against Bill and tell him that he…

The Mid-Winter 's Light Winter is upon the earth. The water which was once flowing has stopped. White clouds scatter the earth leaving an everlasting trail of icy residue that will pile up until the seasons begin to change. Cars that once drove easily on the grooved pavement now slip and move when jack frost wants them too. Ice paints the sides of buildings as the wind whips it in every direction. Slowly lights begin to shine through the thickness of the falling flurry. The darkness of the…

The quote from the book, “Here the beach was interrupted abruptly by the square motif of the landscape; a great platform of pink granite thrust up uncompromisingly through forest and terrace and sand and lagoon to make a raised jetty four feet high” (page 13) describes the platform that serves as a meeting place for the boys. It is established early in the book that this platform is a place that…

word might seem just like tiny feathers, almost unnoticeable and so harmless, but a kilogram of feathers building up over time can be just as harmful as having a kilogram of metal thrown suddenly at you - if not worse. I mean - who would care about a kilogram of feathers, anyways? It’s just such a small problem, you’re overreacting, they did nothing wrong, it doesn’t matter just shut…

(sorry I am not paid to promote this airline) you started to lose all of the color in your face. Immediately, I was concerned you were going to pass out. But, you insisted that you were okay, just tired. I thought to myself “No wonder, you haven’t shut up for the past two hours”. The stewardess gave you a beverage to help calm you down. I leaned back in my seat and knew I only had a few more minutes until we would be at our gate. Then the strangest thing happened, you kind of stared at me as…

Each student at the end of each class would show Mrs. Whitelaw in the different TA’s what they completed that day and after each class. If the students completed the right amount of work, had good behavior, and displayed kindness they would be moved up on the ladder. Once they reach the top of the ladder they would receive a ticket that would go towards a raffle that happened every Friday for them to receive a reward. This is a great way to positively reinforce acceptable behavior from the…

That I haven't been able to give up on her yet? My heart pounds as my feet turn back towards the house with a mind of their own. She's standing in the doorway, sobbing as though I'm the one in the wrong. My legs move forward robotically: left, right, left, right. I don't want to return, I don't want to have to comfort her or love her or pretend anymore. I don't want to feel so alone in her company; I don't want her to call me stupid or useless or tell me to shut up. And yet, I…

grew up with only girls surrounding me and, well you can imagine how that didn 't do wonders for my masculinity. At all! Although it wasn 't all bad, one of the upsides to having girls constantly around you is that you learn from a young age how to treat women correctly. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best of experiences in primary school, I was bullied for the fact I was more feminine than masculine, I was bullied for all my friends beings girls, I was bullied because I never stuck up for…
