Later Helen meets a boy named collie. He lives in the same apartment building as Helen. Julie meets a man named Bud. Ray and Julie go to the Greggs house to investigate. They met David’s sister Megan. She then tells Julie about how the wreck affected her family’s life. They found out that they didn’t just kill a boy, they destroyed a whole family. On the way out of the house Ray notices something about the house, that someone much taller than Megan was painting the house. After this they study the evidence.

Helen Jumped out of the bathroom window, and fell and became unconscious. Meanwhile Julie is waiting for Bud to go to the movies. Her mother insists that she does not go, and Julie agrees. Bud came to the door, and convinced Julie to walk with him to his car. Bud then squeezed Julie’s hand, so she can’t get away.

Secondly after his suspension Philip was moved to a different homeroom, and he had also got switched to a different school in the ending. On the other hand Miss Narwin got a vacation and is going to florida to visit her sister Anita. Thirdly, considering Philip was humming and not singing, which is what everyone is interpreting on the news articles, Philip had made it way worse saying “She won’t let me sing the Star Spangled banner” which didn’t happen because he was humming and disturbing his teacher and classmates.

In the beginning of The Cay, Phillip can be seen as innocent because of how he acts about the Germans and leaving the island. Phillip states, “Then I began to wonder if the Germans would send soldiers too. About nine-thirty I sneaked out of bed, went to the tool house, and took a hatchet out. I put it under the couch. It was the only thing I could think of to use for fighting the Germans” (Taylor 19). This is an important quote because in this quote he takes a shovel worried the German soldiers may come. He also acts very childish by not telling his parents but instead waiting for them to go to sleep and sneaking out to get a shovel. He does not understand war because when the harbor was attacked he was not afraid and did not get why he could not go certain places, such as

He does not understand why his own mother would do such a thing to him. During this moment, Joe begins to transition from precociousness to the confrontation stage. After he kills his mother, he is confronted by Shola, who tells him that his mother is good and she is not the devil. Joe arrives at the Church with his mother’s body being carried in his arms. He lays her at the alter and begins to pray for forgiveness and to say his final goodbyes. His father rudely suggests that he removes Nunu’s body from the church. Joe’s will for his mother and his emotions got the best of him when he confronted his father about the truth and him being his child. Joe was intensely outraged and sat the church on fire burning himself and his father. At the moment of Joe’s death, Joe was in the internalization stage of black consciousness. Joe began to have positive attitudes about his mother’s culture and beliefs.

Phil changes after convincing Rita that he is reliving the same day and she tells him to make the most of it. He starts allowing reason and character to weigh in on his appetites, thus following the path to Ultimate Happiness. By listening to these sides of his soul, Phil begins to show both Moral and Intellectual virtues. His moral virtue increases as he begins helping the townspeople including: a boy falling from a tree, old ladies with a flat tire, a homeless man, and a man who is choking. Intellectually, Phil pursues the piano and masters French along with French poetry, allowing him to prosper in a rational sense. All of these examples show how Phil begins to live a virtuous

When Pam returns to the group from her retreat, the mood immediately becomes darker when she sees Philip in her “cozy” group. She does not feel comfortable having him in the group because he had caused her so much pain in the past. Julius found it hard to find “forgiveness” for Philip, but he tried to identify with him to try to understand why he would have done the things he did. Tony sided with Pam and questioned some of Philip’s statements, whereas Rebecca defended Philip against Tony’s “attacks”. Stuart also seemed to protect Philip against Tony’s attacks. He reminded Tony that he hadn’t seemed sorry for his sexual assault charges in the past. At the end of this confrontational chapter, Pam behaved towards Philip as if he were invisible. Farther on into the “role changes”, Pam revealed that she felt defiled that Philip was a part of her group. He was also, in a way, taking away her role as the intellectual of the group. In order to handle these various changes, Julius tries to understand where each person is coming from, whether it is Pam, Philip, Tony, etc. Additionally, he made sure that each group member voiced what

Sir Philip appears to be completely devoid not only of puritanical principles, but also Christian principles. When his ploy to free Magawisca in order to be liberated from Rosa is devastated, getting attacked by the prisoner, Morton, and then being rescued by Magawisca and the jailer, Barnaby Tuttle, Sir Philip becomes painfully aware of his falsity. He realizes, by comparing himself to Barnaby, that "genuine goodness ... rings true at every trial; while hypocrisy, though it show a face fair and bright, yet, like a new false coin, betrays at every scratch the base metal" (261). While the goodness of people such as Barnaby, Magawisca, and Hope will remain unfailing

If Philip had taken responsibility of his actions maybe it wouldn’t be complicated for Miss. Narwin and himself. If he had apologize to her and try his best in her class and not lie about what he did in class to his parents Philip would see that Miss. Narwin as a bad teacher and pass her class and would be able to do track, nobody would go against him (including his “true love” Allison), and nothing

Now instead of one small lie, there is a spider web which will eventually entangle Philip. At the end of the novel, Philip essentially wins and gets what he wants. He is not only rid of Ms. Narwin but the entire school. Ironically enough, he attends Washington Academy a school where people are encouraged to sing the national anthem. When asked to lead his new class in singing the anthem, he begins to cry for he does not know the words. His spider web of lies has engulfed him and he has ultimately led to his own

He did it, then he wanted to burn her inside the place. But his matches got wet. He went over the hill and down toward the lake for dry matches. I told them exactly how my mother had escaped,” (63).

With the lack of jurisdiction enforcement and Basil’s pitiful attempt on finding justice, Joe is forced to find vengeance himself. Furthermore, Joe is appalled that little action has taken place. Erdrich says, “I've had enough fear for my whole life. You will not add to my fear. You will not add to my sorrows. You will not be a part of this” (89). This exemplifies the loneliness and fear that Geraldine has after the rape. Although, Geraldine is telling joe not to pursue Lark, this only fuels his emotion to seek vengeance. “I'll do it. There is nothing to stop me. I know who he is and i’m going after him” (89). Joe’s passion is immense. Although Joe does not know the true identity of the rapist, he still is determined to avenge his

As the novel progresses, Vivian reveals more of her complex character and distinctive ability. Vivian’s plots are complexly woven, and her lies have a direct purpose: to protect Carmen. She even has a strong sense of fairness, holding up her end of Eddie Mars’s deal and upholding Marlowe’s moral standards. Later on in the novel, Vivian maintains her initial struggle for independence, but begins to succumb to Marlowe’s overpowering strength and ability.

The reason for blaming Philips parents are stated in chapter 9 page 28, Philip admits that Philip didn’t like Miss. Narwin and that she, Miss. Narwin had it in for him. This is also stated in page 32 that the teacher Miss. Narwin is supposedly has it in for him and that Philip could fail and take summer school. Dr. Joseph Palleni, Assistant Principle can also be blamed because in Dr. Palleni’s office, Dr. Palleni goes and talks to Philip the incident/ issue at hand.

Joe resolved to kill Joanna in order to escape her. “He believed with calm paradox that he was the
