He does not understand why his own mother would do such a thing to him. During this moment, Joe begins to transition from precociousness to the confrontation stage. After he kills his mother, he is confronted by Shola, who tells him that his mother is good and she is not the devil. Joe arrives at the Church with his mother’s body being carried in his arms. He lays her at the alter and begins to pray for forgiveness and to say his final goodbyes. His father rudely suggests that he removes Nunu’s body from the church. Joe’s will for his mother and his emotions got the best of him when he confronted his father about the truth and him being his child. Joe was intensely outraged and sat the church on fire burning himself and his father. At the moment of Joe’s death, Joe was in the internalization stage of black consciousness. Joe began to have positive attitudes about his mother’s culture and beliefs.

As opposed to communicating his outrage he tries to avoid panicking. This is either an indication of incredible resilience or utter shortcoming. There, on the other hand, is a moment when Joe demonstrates that his pride has been harmed, to be specific when he leaves the coin under his wife's cushion in the wake of laying down with her. This is a sudden turn in an identity that is apparently unequipped for harming someone else. Anyhow who can accuse the poor man for he has seen his entire world go into disrepair after the treachery of his loved one. The integrity of his character is completely shown in his pardoning toward the end of the story.

It’s almost like he knew he couldn’t do anything about what his future had in store for him but to either quit doing what he loved for the sake of his life or keep pushing his body mentally and physically simply for the love of the sport of climbing. Eventually the “right” summit will catch up to him and sadly take his life because he didn’t know when to stop or when to say no to a tough opponent. Climbers and other athletes of extreme sports don’t like to have a limit and go beyond measures putting their lives in potential life threatening situations. Joe realizes that he is one of those people now, being controlled by the love of the sport and not knowing what the sport was actually going to do to his body and that it could eventually take his

People say there are moments that will stick with you no matter how much time has passed. I am positive this statement is true for the Billy Joel Concert that I attended at Wrigley Field in Chicago on August 11th. The tickets were a gift given to me by my parents for my Birthday back in January. They were hidden in a box with a stack of about 50 manilla envelopes which my parents found very funny. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I finally found the tickets, I had never been to a concert before, unless you count seeing the Perry Choir and Band, so there was much anticipation.

It was Valentine’s Day at my school. It was so much fun even though I just broke up with my boyfriend. We were still friends I guess, but he kept acting weird. He always said it was my friends fault for our brake up but it wasn’t. Today I just wanted to have fun with my friends. We had no homework and I got to have a bunch of enjoyable moments with my friends, but I don’t know. Something felt off. It felt like there was someone watching us. Someone following our every move. I just left that idea alone. My friends and I went to all the Valentine Stations at school. The first station was a crafting station, where we made red and pink hearts out of rough paper. We then had to put a name of our valentine or a special one. But of course, we did
