us from frequent speculation. Ben nodded, and then said, “You know my big plan to ask a freshbunny to prom because they’re the only girls who don’t know the Bloody Ben story?” I nodded. “Well,” Ben said, “this morning some darling little ninth-grade honeybunny came up to me and asked me if I was Bloody Ben, and I began to explain that it was a kidney infection, and she giggled and ran away. So that’s out.” In tenth grade, Ben was hospitalized for a kidney infection, but Becca Arrington, Margo’s best friend, started a rumor that the real reason he had blood in his urine was due to chronic masturbation. Despite its medical implausibility, this story had haunted Ben ever since. “That sucks,” I said. Ben started outlining plans for finding a date, …show more content…
I could see her collarbone. She was laughing at something hysterical—her shoulders bent forward, her big eyes crinkling at their corners, her mouth open wide. But it didn’t seem to be anything Jase had said, because she was looking away from him, across the hallway to a bank of lockers. I followed her eyes and saw Becca Arrington draped all over some baseball player like she was an ornament and he a Christmas tree. I smiled at Margo, even though I knew she couldn’t see me. “Bro, you should just hit that. Forget about Jase. God, that is one candy-coated honeybunny.” As we walked, I kept taking glances at her through the crowd, quick snapshots: a photographic series entitled Perfection Stands Still While Mortals Walk Past. As I got closer, I thought maybe she wasn’t laughing after all. Maybe she’d received a surprise or a gift or something. She couldn’t seem to close her mouth. “Yeah,” I said to Ben, still not listening, still trying to see as much of her as I could without being too obvious. It wasn’t even that she was so pretty. She was just so awesome, and in the literal sense. And then we were too far past her, too many people walking between her and me, and I never even got close enough to hear her speak or understand whatever the hilarious surprise had
“Well I guess we keep going until she loses interest in us.” I say. She didn’t.
R- Ben could be her Stalker, because he is new to the school, and has a bad reputation. Also, Ben gets weird around Camelia-quote
Ben went missing precisely in the village of Iraklise, where his maternal grandparents had migrated. On the day of his disappearance, Ben’s mother was in her workplace in a local hotel, while he was left in the care of his grandparents. He was seen playing with his toy cars in the mud and splashing water around a farmhouse the family were renovating, when around 2.30 PM, it was realised he had disappeared.

After several months of taking care of Christine with her memory impairment, Ben could not take it anymore. Before Ben left Christine he wrote a letter to her just in case her memory improved and she had questions about his absence: “I think I knew then that one day I would have to leave you. I love you more than I love anything. But I have to give our son a life. A life he deserves.
He’s ben shot in de back. I reck’n he’s ben dead two er three days. Come in, Huck, but doan’ look at his face- it’s too gashly”(Ch. 9).
Juries specifically in the United States serve a very large political significance. Majority of the time they determine the fate of those on trial. Juries are used to protect the rights of the people and work hand in hand with the judge to determine the outcome of cases to the best of their ability. Working hand in hand means the Judge determines what laws are applied to each specific case, while the jury works to decide on the facts. Jurors are held to a high degree due to the fact they must focus on fact, remain impartial, and be honest. Very much power is given to juries in the court of law which in turn shows that large political significance juries hold. While juries hold a large significance politically, one of arguably their strongest weapons is the use of jury nullification. Jury nullification refers to right of juries to nullify, or refuse to apply law in criminal cases despite facts that support a finding that the law was violated. It is an extremely powerful component of law because a defendant could have all the facts and evidence pointing to their guilt, but if the jury feels a certain way about a law or situation, then they have the right to pass on all the facts presented and acquit a defendant that in most cases would be found guilty. Also they could use if they found a specific law being applied to the defendant as an unjust law or the way a law is applied. But largely in the past, specifically during the Jim Crow era, it was used as a way to acquit those
Rose chuckled as she stood next to the pale gem. Pearl grinned and breathed in through her nose once again at the sound of the laugh she had grown so fond of, because it had comforted her so.
He is constant competition o be the head of making marketing deals with these two women in the same firm as him. They are all together at an event when a discussion of a multi-million dollar deal is brought up. Ben and the two women argue about who should get the lead, and they make a playful saying Ben cannot make a girl fall in love with him within ten days. They go around the room and pick a girl for Ben to make fall in love with him. Ironically enough, the girl they pick for Ben is
The author uses flashback on page 109 when he writes “Bubby, why did leave me? You ran away. Bubby, why did you run?” This establishes how even though Ben is laying on his death bed, he can still remember what happened and what he didn’t do for his sister. The guilt is trapped inside of him and it brings us back to the memory lane and we wonder what had happened to cause it. And we know there’s a whole
"HiI'mPinkiePie!" The girl spoke so fast that I could barely understand what the heck she was saying. She then grabbed my hand and not only shook my hand but my whole body.
Ben ran away from a Residential School in Kenora. He returned to his family in awful condition, because while attending Residential School Ben had become infected with tuberculosis. As young as Saul was, he knew that his brother was changed by the school, that it was “odd to see the expressions of a grown man on a boy’s face” (16). Saul’s family was worried that men from the school would come looking for Ben and find Saul too. They decided they must go somewhere where they couldn’t be found, so the headed to God’s Lake. Shortly after arriving to God’s Lake, Ben was over taken by the disease.
I also do not understand how ads before YouTube videos are fake news. They are just ads trying to sell real products. Although, I would like to know who you think is at fault for the fake news being spread throughout the media? In my personal opinion I believe the writers of the fake news are at fault because they know what they are writing is false. People like Cameron Harris just want to make money and do not care about whether they spread real facts or not. Do you think if we stopped fake news writers from making money, that it would also decrease the spread of fake information?
There are a lot of social class structures in Egypt. They range from pharaohs to nobles to priests. In the text, it states”The social class in egypt was extremely rigid.” that means that everyone knew where they were. No one was left out. Weather you were a king or slave, they all had their spot.
