Searching. Ben Was At Home On A Saturday Night Waiting

"It's a party for the kids. I was supposed to bring food, but came home late last night."

- Later on in the book Ben says that he is psychometric. A psychometric is sensing what is to come through touch. Ben tells Camelia she is in danger.

     Ben’s Autobiography begins in humility and ends in humility. He is born into a modest family being the youngest son of the youngest son for five generations back. He finishes part two with the modesty of an accomplished elder. However, in between it is full of arrogance and pride. During his early years (part 1 of The Autobiography), Ben’s diligence and thirst for knowledge continuously put him in comforting situations. Unfortunately he

Ben escapes the swarm of family and friends. He feels very overwhelmed and confined downstairs. His bedroom serves as his time and place for isolation. This shows that the parents are not really concerned about his feelings or opinions. Ben does not share the same opinions about his future as his parents have in mind. He is basically showcased as a scholar than a regular human being with a desire for acceptance.

The alarm clock blares on the tattered brown nightstand next to the bed. It is the only part of Casey Barclay’s day that is predictable. She opens her eyes and groans at the thought of what the day will hold. She hears her twins, Alexander and Abigail in the next room. They are eight, and already fighting over whose turn it is to hold the IPad, even though it’s only 6 a.m. She reaches over and turns the alarm clock off, her diamond engagement ring catches her eye as it does a little dance, sparkling in the sunlight. It is the most expensive thing in all of her house. It is also only the second thing that has given her hope in the nine years since the factory left, and it’s hard to have that after her last marriage failed so miserably. She

Ben could see the fear in her eyes, even through the welling tears, and wished he had a moment to stop and console Sky, and assure her that all would be okay, although that would have been a lie. Nothing would ever be the same for Schuyler Lassiter again. His seeming lack of compassion was deliberate, as their first priority was to get away from these men alive, and the best way to keep someone from going into shock was to not give them time to allow the adrenaline to cease flowing.

He was insecure. The type of girl Ben likes has to be genuine, honest. That’s a big thing for him since in his first relationship, he struggled with cheating."

Ben struggled with place attachment; cultivating back into his social group with peers after his accident. He experienced grief and comments on finding out who his real friends were during the process. Going from a healthy young man to person dependent on others for personal care was an extreme shift.

Ben believed he'd compensated for the references to Sky being a Hooker, and the hungry stares and obviously misogynistic thoughts his comments had elicited from the pimply hotel clerk, with the care with which he tended the young woman's wound. Although, if he'd had his time again, he most likely wouldn't have cheekily called her Vivian, as that hadn't been required as part of the plan, but simply done for fun, and then he'd have nothing to make up for.

Meanwhile, as time passes, Ben learnt how to multiply and to spell as he was not good at these. He starts to explore the world of books, and he grows in it. In temper, Ben almost kill his friend who told him to go to hell. He used his new knife to stab him and it broke when it hit the buckle of his belt. Having almost killed someone because of his temper, he realised that he could not do anything about it.

She is also creative and lonely, spending most of her time alone. The mood of the book in the beginning and the middle is sad. The beginning of Ben’s story contains how his mother died and how he became deaf. Later, it continues on telling how he ran away to search for his dad, which turns out to be unsuccessful. However, it gets more adventurous as the story continues.

At the beginning of this chapter, Ben makes numerous comments from his childhood that reflect what he was like as a young boy. When he speaks about his mother asking him, "DO you have a brain," it allowed me to understand the frequency of this statement throughout his life. I also thought his comment about finding a way not to pick up the target showed he and his brother were being lazy, and when he commented he could shoot better than Curtis, it showed he had an enormous amount of pride at that age. Of course, the main inspiration of the chapter was when his mother said, "You need to use the brains God gave you and learn to think beyond the can!" This was moving, however, we all need to analyze outside of the moment and seek the end result.

“Whats for lunch today?” Maya had asked while rubbing her stomach. “I'm like so hungry right now!”

Jodee went to Claire’s house and was amazed Claire lives in Plantation, her home is enormous, and the house is white, and the door is red with a glassed window. The house Jodee went inside the house, and she saw Claire. Claire kissed her on the cheek and said “oh my gosh you're here we are going to have a lot a fun’’ Jodee was already making her bed. Claire said “ who wants to play a game’’ then all the girls were saying “me, me, me!’’ Claire saw Jodee and decided to make her play.

In the opening moments of the film, Ben looks bored and lonely with his life. We first see him on the airplane, and then a moment of silence begins when we hear the line, “Hello darkness, my old friend.” While riding the conveyer belt after getting off the airplane, Ben seems to be lacking happiness. He has a hole in his heart and the only way to fill this hole would be for him to choose his own path in life and start pursuing it, not follow in his parent’s footsteps and do what they want him to do. Ever since graduating from college, Ben
