The Idiot Boy

With a little help from my friends, Firoozeh Dumas Dumas spent her life in Iran and moved up to America. ‘’My life became one long-running Oprah show’’(Dumas 89). American’s minds were tabulea rasae when they look at Irans. Most Americans in 1972 never heard of Iran before. Dumas tried to educate them about it and all that was in it. She described what caviar is and fish eggs and what they did with those too (Dumas 90).She described how different it is living up there than in America and what different

“There’s only a week of spring break left now. You can’t just spend it hiding in your room.” With his hands placed behind his back, Harry effortlessly stands to peer over me with his tall frame. “I can and I will.” I turn my head away from Harry and hug my knees closer to my chest. I tightly grip a hold of my turquoise covers and attempt to pull them over my head. As much as I wish I could stay hidden under my bed covers forever, the weather was honestly getting too warm for that. Stopping my

animals. In the 17th century, outside of myth and legend, there were only few stories of feral children in Europe. Then in the 1600s, more cases started to appear. There were stories and tales of a wolf boy in Germany and kids getting abducted by polar bears in Poland. In 1644 a story emerges of a boy known by John of Liege. He was lost in the woods by his parents, he then acquired animal-like behaviors to survive for years. Most children in this time were detailed by there non-human qualities, such

in an emotional pool. Lady Macbeth’s death was very unexpected. But, soon they both come to a realization and move on from loved one's death. “Since he was old enough to know, big boy. Doing a man’s work through a child’s heart.”,“Out, Out, brief candle.” The boy's death could be foreshadowed because it was a small boy doing a mans job. Like any child would be expected to, he messed up. Once Macbeth comes to the realization that she is dead, he goes on about life and compares the trials of life to

This quote shows a little bit of foreshadowing for the rest of the book. “When death captures me," the boy vowed, "he will feel my fist in his face.” [Zusak, 376]. This quote should motivate and inspire almost everybody that reads this book. “you're an idiot- but you're our kind of idiot. Come on.” [Zusak, 297]. This quote made me smile quite a bit. It shows all the motivation that’s in this book. To cheer

reading this you’re gonna want to know something about me. There is another thing you should know everyone on earth has gone completely and utterly insane. I won’t bore you to death with the details but basically the government is filled with lying idiots and everything you ever thought you knew is wrong. It just recently came out that the government has had the cure for cancer for over ninety years, they of course kept it a secret because treating cancer is much more profitable than curing it.The

“ Cooning” “Cooning” is when an African –American acts like an idiot while entreating whites in order to get some social acceptance. Blacks who act this way called “coons,” they felt like less power, by other blacks who do not like this behavior.

In addition, some politicians are known to do anything

Life is so very fragile and flickering. It is something that we as humans hold on to so desperately. When Robert Frost Wrote the poem “Out, Out -” he wrote about to fragility of life itself and how quickly a life can end so suddenly and without warning. The title of Robert Frost’s poem is a direct reference to a speech in Shakespeare’s original story of Macbeth. Similarities between the two pieces of literature and their views are blatantly evident and they can be used together to help a reader understand

As a new middle school student, I am put through challenges everyday from teachers. From homework to quarterlies, there is a pile of assignments. This can be new for some students. It is still new to me, and I have had it for over nine weeks! There are many differences between the middle school and elementary school. Some school didn’t have classes that switched. At Milltown, we were taught to go to classes other than our grade teacher. At Milltown, we had Mr. C and Mrs. Holly to help us get ready

learn how to live with five other teenagers. "You're Elliot?" A boy with brunette hair inquired, his hazel eyes looking her up and down, before nodding in approval. "Um, yes, is that a problem?" She asked with hostility, placing her hands on her thin waist. "No, we just expected you to be a boy." A boy with dirty blonde hair interjected, his hazel eyes sent a disapproving look towards the
