Cassy decided not to visit the club for a while, but a voice at the back of her mind urged her to go there. She felt incomplete without that place – the underground party, the lawlessness and the fun, as though it had some magical effect on her. She decided to visit the club with Lorenzo, not because she herself wanted to, but Lorenzo forced her to. She dated him for a while, and her relationship was getting serious every day. She wanted to make Ty jealous if they visited WOLVES AND SHE-WOLVES, the way he made her jealous. Lorenzo saw a strange glitter in her eyes that revealed her true self. She was a true party person, and that was one of the reasons he admired her.

Lorenzo was trying his best not to let the beast out.
“What are you going to have tonight,” he asked sulkily. Cassy turned her gaze away from Ty, knowing that Lorenzo was noticing and he might not approve of that at all.
“Whatever you are having,” she replied, trying to be normal, but her eyes were dictating the fact that something was going on in her heart. She was confused and anxious. She felt as if she was pushed into a furnace, sweating like a fish.
“Two martinis,” he said to the bartender, looking at Cassy, knowing that something was fishy. He looked at the man, she was staring, who was staring right back at her. Ty walked towards them and set next to Cassy, ordering himself a martini as well.
“HI,” said Ty, slightly turning his face towards Cassy.
“Hi,” she replied, her tone was low and scarcely audible. Lorenzo was getting suspicious every moment, and not to mention – jealous too.
“Haven’t seen you for a long time,” said Ty, looking right into her eyes.
“Is there a problem?” said Lorenzo, getting up from his seat with an angry look on his face, as though he’d kill him at that very moment.
“I see, you’ve made a new friend,” said Ty sarcastically, getting up from his seat and extending his hand towards Lorenzo in a friendly manner, “Hi, I’m Tyler – Cassy’s ex-boyfriend.” His voice carried strange kind of boldness, as though he feared nothing in the world.
“Tyler – the ex-owner of…”
In the essay written by Joey Franklin, the author exposes his own internal conflict, as well as the existing prejudice against fast food restaurant workers. The work is well developed, with the use of witty diction and tone, in addition to the appeals to rhetorical devices.
The Red tent is a book that follows the life of a woman named Dinah. The stories that are told throughout take place in biblical times, and follows some of the lineage of the bible itself. The book begins by telling the story of Dinah’s four mothers, along with their relationship with Dinah’s father Jacob. After being introduced to Dinah herself, the book follows her life story from beginning to end, all the way from Haran, through Canaan, Shechem, and into Egypt. Throughout this paper, I will be describing and comparing events of the book verses modern day, in relationship to child birthing practices, family dynamics, personal life experiences of characters, along with discussing herbs, spices, and medications used by
The Breakfast Club is a movie about five students from Shermer High School who gather on a Saturday to sit through eight hours of detention. These five students; Andrew Clark, Claire Standish, John Bender, Allison Reynolds and Brian Johnson, have nothing in common.

The peer groups that are portrayed in The Breakfast Club include, John “the criminal”, Claire “the Princess”, Allison “the Basket case”, Brian “the Brain”, and Andrew “the athlete”. The movie centers around an essay that Principle Vernon wants each student to write regarding who they think they are. In the beginning of the film, the
Perry Smith and Dick Hickock are two remarkably different characters. In the beginning of the novel, they’re known only as the murders of the Clutter family, but Truman Capote tells their life stories in such a way that they become more than that. Even though these two men are basically introduced as murderers, they quickly become relatable and interesting characters. So much is learned about their feelings and lives that one can not help but almost look past their reckless ways. Both of these men have unique character traits that amalgamate in an intriguing way. Throughout In Cold Blood, Capote includes many instances that show how Dick and Perry, when combined, make the perfect murderer.

The excerpt from The Outsiders (S.E. Hinton) relates much to the excerpt from To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee). Both of the passages have character who thinks that the world is divided into different groups and the passages both have the conclusion that everyone is in the same group. The character that is in the excerpt from The Outsiders and thinks that the world is divided is Ponyboy. He states that “Maybe the two worlds we lived in weren’t so different.”
With the awareness of substance abuse as an illness, attention has also been directed to the families and loved ones of those that suffer. Why do they stay with someone who is so obviously ill? Why do they tolerate being taken advantage of? Codependent No More (Beattie, 1986) was one of the first books addressing this issue, stating that the issue at hand was codependency- the individual in the relationship with the addict suffers from an illness as well. This paper is an analysis of the book, compared with research on the topic.
The book, Angles and Outcasts, is compiled of works by hearing authors from the nineteenth-century and the twentieth-century, as well as a chapter of works by authors who themselves are Deaf. Each of these stories provides a unique perspective on deafness and how the Deaf people are seen by the rest of the world. There is a common theme present through the nineteenth and twentieth-century works; exaggerated qualities of the Deaf person and a misfortune so great, that it overshadows anything good or human about the person. In the nineteenth-century, the Deaf people have exaggerated qualities such as beauty or strength that are built to be something greater than human ability, but their deafness is such a misfortune, that it negates those exaggerated qualities and often shows the deaf people as being something other than human, an object of pity. In the twentieth-century, the main theme of misfortune being so strong that the deaf people are no longer seen as human equivalent, but rather a spectacle to dump pity onto. In both centuries, Deaf people are written about in ways which portray them with traits that could not be possible and shows their deafness as something deserving of such grand pity. This is a form of oppression which we still see today, but it was much more prevalent in years past.

The Breakfast Club has multiple different types of people throughout the movie. In my case I thought I related to all of the students in a way. First I related to John Bender when things happened with his dad he has been a person to really defensive, and mean. I get really defensive and can act like a really rude person towards people sometimes, I saw that in him alot. John would also act up because of the relationship that he had with his father. I have to say me and my father's relationship is not the best, But that another story. Deep down John has a heart and cares about people, but he doesn't want to show that weak side, I see that in me.
Within the pages of In Cold Blood, Truman Capote examines the two men involved in the murder of the Clutter family in somewhat different ways. Perry and Dick are compared in their narratives throughout the novel revealing that they have contrasting personalities. Capote provides a lengthy history of Perry’s past and, in contrast, very little than he does with Dick. He may do this in order to show the audience that there are dramatic differences between a vulnerable Perry and the cynical, cruel Dick. However, in one particular passage Capote exposes the two characters by expressing their points of views to the reader. Continuously switching the points of views of these two men could be chaotic, but Capote’s smooth writing allows him to do so effectively while allowing the readers to gain compelling insights. Capote succeeds in deliberately using juxtaposition which ultimately highlights the differences in Perry and Dick’s thoughts, feelings and views.
The Breakfast Club was a movie delineating the interactions of five high school students from differing backgrounds encountering the obstacle of a Saturday detention. These five students were composed of a princess, a brain, an outcast, a jock, and most pertinent to this paper, the rebel, John Bender. John Bender is depicted within this movie as a careless and hostile character with some authority issues. An impulsive and uncooperative individual, Bender, in the detention for pulling the fire alarm, serves as a sharp juxtaposition to the other characters, often challenging the others on their perspectives. This contrast could perhaps be attributed to his home life, which is different from his four detention counterparts.
