cry. I had never thought it was possible” (Weisel 19). In this quote Elie is thinking to himself. He thought this when he was outside with the others because all of the Jewish people were forced to leave their homes. Elie was thinking this because earlier in the book he said that his dad barely shows any emotion and that they are not that close to each other so it was weird to him.

In the end, their starvation couldn’t kill him, but even in death, he remained still in

My entire life has changed due to my kindness. Therefore, should I no longer be kind? Why offer my assistance to others if the outcome is penalization? These questions torment my mind; do I acknowledge what's happening around me, or should I just drive by? All I wanted to do was help people, and now, all I do is suffer. The morning was bleak and tinted with gray—not that I cared. I no longer had a place where I was needed, anyway. The day I lost my job was the day nothing mattered; it was as if the

Aloysius about the way Donald Muller acted when he came back from the rectory with Father Flynn. Sister James said to Sister Aloysius, “No. It was his expression. He looked frightened and… he put his head on the desk in the most peculiar way. And one other thing. I think there was alcohol on his breath. There was alcohol on his breath” (Shanley 22). The reader can infer from this that Father Flynn may have got him drunk so that he could molest him. It seems rather unusual how Father Flynn and

There are several aspects of the character and personality of these two men that make them the detectives that they are, yet they differ from each other almost completely.

a book. The Man with Two Shadows and Other Ghost Stories open my eyes to the wonder of literature. The Man with Two Shadows and Other Ghost Stories, consists of a compilation of short stories and my favorite one is The Dream by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1838). Le Fanu (1814-73) was one of the greatest of all ghost-story writers. After the death of his wife, he devoted most of his time on writing and was probably able to produce such dark and powerful work. The dream is unique from other book I have

Dress code is very discriminatory against girls and occasionally also against boys. We’ve all had a time when either you yourself were reprimanded or you witnessed someone else get reprimanded for their clothes in a school environment. What did you think about that? Chances are that it was a minor offence that got blown out of proportion. The dress codes that many adults have put in place to protect us has actually done the opposite. Strict dress codes are not necessary and can even be toxic to young
