Katelyn's Struggle In America

The main character, Charlie must navigate through it even while feeling motionless and scared. He tells his story to the reader from his perspective. The reader sees life from exactly the way he sees the events and understands those events through a teenage boy’s eyes. The crisis is introduced when the town outcast Jasper Jones asked Charlie, a bookish young nobody of a boy for help. The reader sees Charlie’s internal conflicts of wanting to go with Jasper, feeling terrified, excited yet so wanting to be accepted by him Charlie does in fact sneak out in the middle of the night with his new friend. Jasper takes Charlie to the scene of the crime where Jasper’s girlfriend is hanging from a tree. The manner that Silvey describes Charlie’s reaction to the hanged girls is true to human nature, “I’m screaming, but they are muffled screams. I can’t breathe in. I feel like I’m underwater. Deaf and drowning.” This description foreshadows the solution to hide the body and Jasper and Charlie throw Laura Wishart into the lake. Unknown to either is Laura Wishart’s sister, Eliza. She witnessed the suicide of her sister and wrote the word “sorry” on the stump of the tree before she leaves. Charlie and Jasper find this word, assume that the killer wrote it there, and immediately jump to the

Kate then popped wide awake and ran outside. Kate then had another fit and they brought her back inside while she was “senseless”. Again they take out the knife and again she suddenly wakes up saying “you’re going to cut me!”

Some families could not even afford as little as one single meal. The soup kitchens and breadlines were made as a very beneficial charity giving the fresh bread and soup to the people that could not afford it. There were so many homeless people on the streets. They were all over the place. Every block and every street you looked on you would see homeless people.

Look I understand if it’s family issues or something but I can’t keep having you show up to this place in 15 minutes late every day! I can’t keep saving every time you show up late! Look this is going to be your last chance and if it happens again, well I’m sorry but I’m going to have to write you up Mr.Brookins!

“Lateness is a bad a habit and will not be tolerated in this school.” Said yelled hostile.

“Don't listen to him,” her mother says, taking her hand and leading her inside the small house, closing the door on him. “He'll come around, Awen, you'll see. Please, sit down. We have so much to get caught up on, and I just put dinner in the oven.”

The needy families suffered the most. The government offered relief, or welfare, for those who qualified. An odd form of welfare was an open jail for the homeless. Similar to the relief camps, the state of jail was horrible. It was described as a very old, thick-walled stone building, with two stories. At the end of the corridor stood the toilet and one wash basin. No beds or bedding was provided and the floors were black and swarming with bed bugs. One recalls, “Men were all suffering from gastric trouble due to hunger and the hard boiled beans, weak kidneys from the freezing cold, and frozen feet. In consequence, there was a steady line-up all night through at the toilet- two to three hundred men to one toilet...” Another form of relief was a soup kitchen. Again, the conditions were terrible. People suffered from hours of waiting in harsh weather conditions to be served dry bread, boiled beans, and coffee or tea. In addition, eating the meal was often done in ankle deep sludge. This was not something to be thankful for, as the cost to feed a single person was four cents. It was clear the soup kitchens could put in more effort. The Prairies suffered the most, as their way of life had always been less secure. Moreover, the families required a car and gas in order to get relief, as they had to travel to the city. In addition, many Canadian and American farmers had their property taken away for failing to meet

She hurled her self to try and stop the children from being drugged. This is another very brave act on Kate’s part. Once again, she stands up against the terrorist. Despite Kate’s attempts to stops the terrorist and opening the bus door for help, she also tried to escape. She discovers a spare key and tried to use it to her advantage.

“First things first its two hundred bucks upfront, cash money, no exceptions. It’s another two hundred when I give you a conclusion. Do you understand? Whether you like my conclusion or not doesn’t matter.” She nodded with no hesitation and I replied

Katelyn had started off by telling me about how after the last sickness had ended (The weird influenza that the doctors could never figure out what it truly was.) and how the villagers had all gone off and gotten their pitchforks and torches to chase my grandmother out of village after having blamed it all on her. (Figuratively speaking, of course,) Then that was when Harlin, Donnie, Erik, along with the three bitches had all decided that they would be the ones to teach my grandmother a lesson and hopefully end up driving her out of Mount Harrison forever in doing so. Katelyn told me that they had wanted her to help them in their plan, but she had refused saying that what they were planning on doing just wasn’t right.

Her voice was like a whisper as the jail’s bars slowy closed upon her face. her vision was still dizzy, and she had not eat anything for hours. turning her head back, she tried to walk. clumsy steps were the best she could do, occasionally almost stumbling to reach the bed, or at least what seemed like a bed to her.

Lauren scrambled forward, but her choppy steps were no match for the deep drifts. Icy snow fell over the top piping on her boots and packed around her socks. Although her leg muscles bulked at the cold and extra weight, she forged onward, her breath hacking against the wind.

“ Oh really, I guess I’ll just go back downstairs and finish my breakfast.” Ruthie stated, clearly embaressed

After a while, she begins to wander about Estelle Louise and decides to go check on her. Fighting the storm, every inch of the way she finally reaches the mailbox, but it’s not there nor is Estelle Louise. She looks towards Estelle Louise’s trailer and it’s on fire. As fact as the storm will allow she runs back to the pick-up and drives up the driveway. From the headlights of the truck, she sees that a Semi-trailer truck has crashed into Estelle Louise’s home and flipped over. Clemmie Sue jumps out of the truck and frantically begins to search for Estelle Louise, while doing so she never notices the middle-aged man climbing out of the wreckage. Blinded by the rain she trips on a piece of mangle mailbox, falls to her knees, buries her head in her hands, and mournfully
