What Happened

Kel had a while before he was scheduled to work and knew that since Dixie was around, that if he was running late, she'd ensure he was covered. Thinking quickly about how to approach what happened today and the fact he wanted to make sure Johnny was doing as fine as possible after such a difficult morning, Kel figured it would be best to just be straight with him.

that was tied to a four-wheeler, which usually ended with someone getting hurt (that someone was usually me). In spite of me getting injured a lot, my friends and I continued doing these stunts. Above all things, I enjoyed making people laugh, and what better way is there to make people laugh than to get hurt in silly ways? Ultimately, the ignorant courage, that was the foundation of who I was, came crumbling down. For most of the beginning of a hot and boring day, I sat in…

influence that Sissy has upon them. Major components of the novel include Sissy’s purpose, which also displays the theme that revenge isn’t worth the cost, how the setting influences the mood through symbolism, and the foreshadowing involved to hint what happened in the past. To begin with, one of the major themes of the novel is that revenge isn’t worth the overall cost, which can be supported by Sissy’s purposes. First, “I’m watching you. Tell the truth or else,” (Hahn, 80). This shows that…

class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had happened. As I walked outside it…

figure out the best place to make his departure. When he got to the edge of the cliff, the terrifying memory of him jumping came back to him and he said “Hunters can become the hunted in a second,” realized Rainsford. He tried to forget all that happened to him in that last week and just tried to figure out a way back home. The best way to get back to the main land was to make a raft and leave early in the morning, when the tide retreats, thought Rainsford. He also decided to start building a…

Holden. Later on that night he finds a bar he’s able to get drinks at and gets completely wasted which forces him to fumble home where he runs into his little sister, Phoebe, home alone because his parents are out. He explains with little detail what happened to him and why he’s home earlier than he should be when suddenly his parents return home and he has no choice but to leave out the window since he doesn’t want them to know he’s home and expelled from his school. For the rest of the night…

asked, “How can we help you?” “I’m Gloria Wilson. The other day, I saw Katherine. She’d been crying. When I asked what was wrong, all she would say was her daughter broke her heart. Katherine loved to brag about her fabulous relationship with her daughter, but recently something changed.” “Did she say what it was?” He asked, writing down everything she said. “Apparently, something happened in a motel room recently resulting in an argument, Marlene was angry and said, she would see her mother in…

This is exactly what happens to Mary and her sister Lucia. What makes this memory/experience so hard to swallow is it was Mary and Lucia’s mother (Charlie) who held them at knife point. Leading up to their mother’s mental breakdown we are given some episodic precursors that the mother experiences…

taking a shower because the doctor said it could get wet but I couldn't trust him. At school people all wanted to know what happened, I thought it was embarrassing telling people that I fell over a rock so I just told them that my brother pushed me really hard. It had gotten filled with signatures. All the signatures came from my school and of course my mom wanted to sign it too. What I learned from the story is the i need to pay more attention to my…
