From ages 10-12 i started cutting i just felt that when i cut it releases the pain from my life. i had friends that made my childhood better yes i did, but i forgot about them soon enough. my best friend was Ashley, she just made me smile everyday, the most surprising thing for me is that Ashley was beautiful like a model, she actually was a child model for a store and i was always there when she was on her photo shoots, we wanted to do it together but they said they had enough kid models but i didn't belive that, they didn't need an ugly chubby child like me, i still just kept cheering for Ashley every time. Every guy in 6th grade had a crush on her, they wanted her to date them but she said she would not date till she was old enough, and with the right person her "prince charming" i just wanted anyone to like me just anyone, i even had a phase where i changed how i looked like into wearing makeup from my mum's stuff, the teacher got concerned and called her in, this is where it started i thought my life was miserable, that everyone hated me, that no one understood how i felt, as you might have guessed my mum yelled at me and grounded me for a month. That, that was when i started building up anger in me every day, to get rid of some anger i cut. i never told anyone not even Ashley i started to get jealous of her it made me so mad to thing she is perfect and i am ugly, but as she is my best friend she found out i was depressed. She talked to me we cried, we laughed, i can't forget what she told me " you are perfect Amanda, you are the light to my day you bring life to my world.... who am i kidding you are my world and promise me nothing i mean nothing no one will ever break us apart" i promised her "cause Amanda you are the love of my life my one and only best friend i love you don't forget that, you can always tell me anything" i said i knew that but it

UID- 141077 R.NO -149 When you see “Pleasantville” for the first time,it doesn’t strike you hard enough how much sociological theory has just been served to you. Thus,when I was watching it for the first time my mind was going in circles about the following pattern. Consumption-Artifacts-Profane-Thought-Perception-Distinguishing-Convenience-Questions-Resistance-Novelty-Loss and Gain. The word connect is aiming to give an explanation of how at any particular point in time every discourse lived by people follows, if not rigidly, but closely related “patterns”.

In the story, the narrator describes the rich as “different from you and me. [The rich] possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand” (Fitzgerald, “The Rich Boy” 3). The narrator 's description is very accurate, which is shown especially in the main character, Anson, who was born into a wealthy family and exhibits many of these characteristics. Tate, a critical writer explains that “‘The Rich Boy’ is not so much about wealth itself as about the effect of wealth on character, and the primary effect on Anson is an over power sense of superiority” (1). This superiority that Anson feels directly correlates with his upbringing because he has more money than most people.
