I didn’t talk to Mabel for a few days, after she told me about the other man. I was waiting for the perfect time. I used this time to prepare and also spend time with Charlotte. All our problems will disappear soon. When I’m done with Mabel, we won’t have any problems. I won’t be angry anymore and take my anger out on Charlotte. Our life will be perfect and I’ll find somebody suitable to replace Mabel, and I’ll make sure she doesn’t fall in love with someone else. I stopped drinking. I didn’t need it anymore. I take alcohol to get confidence or to wash away pain. I had a lot of confidence and no pain. I’m determined to follow my plan to make my life and my daughter’s life better.
Charlotte was confused and a little bit bothered by my behavior.

Now leave”, I replied
“I haven’t seen her for a few days. Are you two still together?. It would be sad if you broke up, but all good things must come to an end”.
I had no intentions of continuing this conversation so I shut the door on his face. He didn’t come here to ask about the Gardner, he wanted to know more about Mabel. He never minds his own business. I finally called Mabel and told her to meet be at the park, so we can talk one last time. I had to tell her that I’m trying to move on but can’t stop thinking about her. I told her something about needing closure, so I can move on. She was happy and agreed to meet me.
I was so drunk by the time it was midnight. I couldn’t walk up the stairs to my bedroom, so I sat still and continued drinking. I’m already drunk, what harm will a little more whiskey do?. Charlotte is probably in her room sleeping. It’s way past her

Benson. Trust me you don’t want to shoot a detective”, detective Raymond said.
“Oh detective! Trust me I do”, I said while pointing the gun at them. I looked to my left and noticed that Charlotte was here. When did she get here? Then it clicked; she was the one that opened the door for the detectives. The female detective noticed I was starring at Charlotte, so she said “ Mr. Benson, don’t do anything you will regret”. I replied with “it’s too late for that”
She sighed “ I know you have been hurt by people around you, so I’m sure you know how your daughter feels. Her mother left her, just like the way your parents left you. But add to that the fact that she is being treated badly by her father, that is worse than what you went through as a child. She just found out that her father killed someone. Do you want her to witness her father killing another person in from of her? Or maybe her father dying because the police shot him? You don’t want her to go through that. She has gone through enough.”
I looked at my daughter and for the first time I saw her as a ten-year-old girl that has gone through enough. I lowered my gun and said, “ I’m sorry Charlotte”. She didn’t reply, she just stared at me while the detectives handcuffed me and took me
Her child had been shot dead as she ran for her life. Luckily for her, the bullet didn’t go through the baby’s body. When she stopped where we stood, she sat on the ground and removed her child. It was a girl, and her eyes were still open, with an interrupted innocent smile on her
Mabel 's Strange Predicament is a 1914 American comedy film starring Charles Chaplin, famously known for being the first time Chaplin wears the tramp costume. The movie was token place in a hotel lobby. A drunk man, the tramp, runs into Mabel and tries to engage in a conversation. Mabel walks away and goes on a date with her lover. Once Mabel returns, she goes to her room and plays with her dog. While leaving her room for a quick moment, the door closes and she gets locked out in her pajamas. The tramp comes up the stairs and finds her. He tries to grab her but she escapes. As she tries to hide, she enters the room next to hers and hides under the bed. In the room is a man whose wife recently left to complain to the manager about Mabel. Her lover comes and knocks on Mabel’s door to visit but gets no response; he decides to wait for her with his friend, Mabel’s neighbor. Soon he discovers Mabel under the bed and assumes that she is having an affair with the neighbor. The wife enters the room and assumes the same as the lover. After fighting, Mabel is kicked out and finds the tramp again. The lover fights off the tramp and realizes it was the drunken man’s fault that Mabel was hiding under the bed. Mabel and her lover reconcile while the older couple continue to fight. This film shows a great representation of the time period and what we learned because of how it demonstrated the views of women, black, and drunkeness.
that’s why I’ve been blaming myself for her addiction.” “Stan, we all make mistakes, I’ve done things that I wasn’t proud of, but I’m trying to change all that, so, the past is the past and you have to focus on being a better husband and father to Elizabeth and the kids, if it’s Gods will, she’ll come back to us, we just have to keep praying.” said Pam. “I’m glad you’re here with us.” said Katrina. “Thank you, Elizabeth’s my friend, she’s just like a sister to me.” said Pam. “Elizabeth’s a good woman that’s why I love her.” said Stan. “Yes she is.” “I have so much that I want to tell her, I really miss us being close, when we where kids we were like two peas in a pod and I miss that.” said Katrina. “You can be like that again, when she pulls through.” said Pam. “I just pray that she pulls through.” said Katrina. “She will.” “How long will she have to be here?” ask Melanie. “Until she gets better, when the Doctor come back out, we’ll ask him.” said Katrina. ‘The Doctor said
“Darlin’, I’m so sorry that happened to you of all people. You are so sweet and kind. It’s just a downright shame.” Fiona reached out to stroke Casey’s trembling hand. “Go ahead and take your time, we have all day if need be. Why don’t you tell me about your daughter? I’m sure she was lovely.”
Seeing her so upset kills me. “I’m sorry.” I reach, but she moves, staying beyond my reach. “So the man I grew up thinking was my father …was not my father. My real father wanted nothing to do with me and now he is dead so I can never ask him why. Don’t do that to Bubba. Don’t make him walk around his entire life missing all the pieces.”
“and that's where you're wrong you heard y/n she doesn't want you anymore she is with me now.”
“Help yer maw back ta bed,” he told Mary. “I’m gonna make her some coffee.” Without any questions, Mary led her mother back to her bed. Charity pulled the covers around her shoulders and just laid there and cried. Jeremiah knew what she was feeling; it was the same feeling that had driven him into a whiskey bottle for thirty years of his life.
In Act III, Scene 4, Middleton and Rowley present a shift in power dynamics between the characters of Beatrice Joanna and De Flores, however it is not the typical role reversal. During the build-up to this moment, it has been Beatrice Joanna who has had the power over De Flores due to her higher social status, following atypical gender roles as she has power over the man. However, Act III, Scene 4, reverts to the typical gender dynamics, whilst simultaneously presenting a social class role reversal. At the start of the passage, the confusion that leads to De Flores’ command over Beatrice Joanna begins. There is a semantic field of wealth and worth in their dialogue, through nouns such as “merit”, “salary”, “wages”, and “gold”, to first demonstrate
“I can only hope. But I’m not through with her. I’m going to find out as much as possible about this relationship.”
“I want you to look at her and tell her you no longer want to be a part of our lives because she’s not worth living for.”
Don Pedro may ask her to marry him on the night of the ball. Hero says
Much Ado About Nothing illustrates a kind of deliberately puzzling title that seems to have been popular in the late 1590s (ex "As You Like It"). Indeed, the play is about nothing; it follows the relationships of Claudio and Hero (which is constantly hampered by plots to disrupt it), and in the end, the play culminates in the two other main characters falling in love (Beatrice and Bena*censored*), which, because it was an event that was quite predictable, proves to be "much ado about nothing". The pronunciation of the word "nothing" would, in the late 16th Century, have been "noting," and so the title also apparently suggests a pun on the word, "noting," and on the use of the word
“So tell us the credentials about the girl.” said Larry. Chief replied, “Her name is Amanda Newell, she is 14 years old, she is the only child, and is an 8th grader at Greenville Middle School.” “Where was she when she got abducted?” said Charlie already getting his notepad out. Seeing his notepad all the rest of the detective quickly got theirs out too not wanting to miss any notes. The chief said, “Amanda was abducted a couple of meters from her house. The bus driver said she wasn’t at her bus so she must have walked to school because she missed the bus. While she was walking to school she was abducted.” “That’s all we have right now.” he added. The detectives took a few minutes to jot all of what chief said and started thinking where Amanda was. The chief exclaimed “You're not going to find anything here get outside and look at the crime scene. Also if you work as a team and find her you will split $5,000. Now get to
“Well I hope you know that you won’t be seeing her again. If this nonsense keeps up, I
"She was in bed when I got home, but when I woke up she wasn't there. She's probably on a run or at the grocery store."
