The Pillow Book

People are surprised, but do not say much so they have a funeral for him. While everyone is cleaning up and helping Miss Emily with the funeral they discover a hair on the pillow beside where her father was lying. The hair was the same color of Miss Emily’s and the pillow had a head indent in it “Then we noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head.” (paragraph 60), “we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair.” (paragraph 60).

conditioning rooms. He shows the students an example of conditioning when a Bokanovsky group of eight-month-old Delta babies are conditioned to stay away from books and flowers. After the babies gleefully approach the colorful books and flowers, they are struck by deafening noise and mild electric shock. After, when the nurses offer the books and flowers to the babies again, they scream and their faces distort with terror. The Director explains that they do this so that the lower classes, such as Deltas

Faulkner also uses the strong stench that invaded around and inside her home as a symbol. It symbolizes that the town would preferably cover the scent than reveal the reason and ask her directly to fix the problem. They would rather cover the problem themselves than confront Emily.

Montag asked “Go let him in, will you? Tell him I’m sick.” She replied back with “Tell him yourself.” Mildred didn’t listen to Montag because she didn’t want to. She only does what she wants. She also didn’t listen when he told her no. I don’t want my pillow fluffed, but she was almost one hundred percent on her decision. Second, Mildred is robotic because she’s a rule follower. She does what everyone else

Why not do the same, it's just we've got no pillows and I've got my beats over my neck. I do have a lap. She wouldn't mind sleeping on my lap right. Who knows it could feel like a pillow to her. It is comfy to lay or sit on it. (Wink, wink) I lay her down slowly hoping not to wake her up. She was down on my lap. Not in that
