When these normal behaviors become infrequent or overly done, the environment may be the cause.

One by one people dispersed onto the red or blue team until only

In the novel, Define Normal, written by Julie Anne Peters, the stereotypes developed to teach the reader to not judge a book by it's cover. Quotes from the story show how people stereotype Jazz. For example, in the beginning of the story, Antonia thinks, “She was hopeless. A punker. A druggie. A gang hanger.

Language may be expressed verbally or by writing, signing, or making other gestures, such as eye blinking or mouth movements. Speech is talking, which is one way to express language.

Or maybe it’s not when it happens, so much as how it happens. It’s a normal day - it should be a normal day.

I don’t like the way that I feel. I want to go back to a normal life. But, what is normal now? How do you go back to living a normal life when someone unexpectedly is taken from you. I can’t eat, I can’ sleep. I feel like I’m in a daze all day. I neglect my family, my kids, my job. I’m angry one day and sad the next. I’m feeling hopeless and I don’t know what to do.
