The average ACT score to be accepted to UGA ranges from 26-31 (“Compare Colleges”), and the average at Vanderbilt ranges from 32-35 (“Compare Colleges”). My ACT composite score is 31, but I have only taken it once and plan to raise my score. I believe that I will have an ACT score within or above the ranges for both UGA and Vanderbilt. In addition to looking at ACT scores, UGA and Vanderbilt look at GPA, course rigor, and a holistic view of the student to determine admission (“Applying to Vanderbilt”; “First-Year Applicants”). My cumulative high school GPA is 4.41 and by the end of my junior year I will have taken six AP classes, so I feel that I will have a good chance of being accepted at both of these colleges.

Werewolves a very well-known fantasy creature, who have been depicted as vicious beasts who will turn on their best friends. In the lay “Bisclavret” the stereotypes of werewolves is no different. Marie de France redefines the werewolf in a very courageous tale of a man and his loyalty. Bisclavret was a very loyal man regardless being werewolf or not. This was shown in multiple scenarios, such as the interaction with his and wife and with the King. The O.E.D. defines loyalty as “Faithful adherence to one's promise, oath, word of honor” (def.1). Throughout the entire story Bisclavret is faithful to everyone he made an oath too. Others have to break

Lovienthal slammed the accelerator to the floor again, and Ruby pulled away from Mr. Grabranski with a squeal and a whiff of singed rubber. Steaks tailed close behind and as they passed by Mr. Grabranski, but as they moved, Steaks took the opportunity to clip Mr. Grabranski with his front fender, the same as Lovienthal had done to the old man. With the impact, Mr. Grabranski been sent tumbling ass-over-tea-kettle and back down to the ground for a third time while Steaks shouted at him through his window, “Take that, sucka!”

Naturally, the wasp came back. AND it started stealing MORE of my cheese! I was thinking WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!!! This is CRAZY!!!

Desiree shook her head and smiled, "You didn't scare me, in fact last night was the first night I wasn't afraid to sleep. I just couldn't. I didn't take any of the meds the doctors gave me. They normally knock me out, like a coma almost. I stopped dreaming, or more actually I stopped traveling I guess." Desiree had no idea what to call her ability. But she knew the medicine that doctors made her take stopped them. "I guess I should expect a lot of insomnia in my future." she laughed softly before kissing Razio once more.

Anne’s red hair in the book is supposed to represent insecurities for everybody in general.

The overarching trauma of this novel is highlighted by Celie’s relationship with Shug Avery. Though the brutality continues, Celie still manages to find an escape allowing her to come closer to the line of thriving. For Celie her first notion of Shug comes from her abusive husband's obsession with the singer. Her growing sense of imagination and curiosity began to develop a more nuanced character. The reader is given a new looking at the character; Celie crosses the threshold of survival to thriving only for a few fleeting seconds. Our first encounter of this diminishing joy unfortunately encapsulated a well-rounded sense of author's purpose. “And then I think about Shug Avery. I know what he doing to be done to Shug Avery and maybe she like it. I put my arm around him”(Walker, 12). There are several key elements that the author has intentionally created. The first being the motif of sex, for Celie sex has been a brutal massacring for her body, which resulted in two heartbreaking children. While these children were taken from her and killed, Walker highlights the wedding night sex scene shifting from brutal to sad. The reader can clearly see that the idea of Shug is what allows Celie to escape from her horrid reality. As Charmaine Eddy notes in his paper entitled Marking the body: the material dislocation of gender in Alice Walker's The Color Purple “Because Shug's picture has initiated lesbian sexual desire in Celie, this imitation must be seen as a transvestism, a drag

The blonde knows better than to become stiff at a question like this. Instead, she draws one of her hands onto the cold grey table and taps her fingers gently on the surface. While she brings her other hand to rest under her chin. Fleurette tries to think of a moment when she didn’t have a run in with the law. When faced with the danger of being imprisoned or fined, her water works would pave the way to victory. It was cliche to say the least, but behind her faux tears and her weak pleading, she put on a beautiful show. She was a temptress to the law and once they fell for her act, a gentle calming smile would form on her lips. Her face would read thank you, but her mind read you fool. You’re all fools. Clearing her throat she stopped her light drumming and brought both her hands to rest on the table together. “Non, non.
