It all began when Cady’s mom accepted a professorship at Northwestern University. For Cady, it meant that she was leaving Africa to move to the suburbs of Illinois. Also, she was no longer going to be homeschooled; instead she was going to attend Evanston High School. On the first day of school, she was stressed because in each of her
Teenager Cady Heron was educated in Africa by her zoologist parents. After 12 years of being in Africa, her family moves back to the United States, in the suburbs of Illinois. Cady is unprepared for her first day of public high school, but with the help of Janis and Damien she learns about various cliques. Janis and Damien warn her to avoid the school’s most exclusive clique, the trio of girls called the Plastics led by Regina. Of course, the Plastics take interest in Cady and invite her to go shopping with them. Janis decides to hatch a plan to get revenge on Regina using Cady since she was accepted into the Plastics. Once Cady is a part of the Plastics, she learns about Regina’s top secret book (the “Burn Book”) filled with vicious rumors,
“Other faces peered in from the sides of her eyes−her father and mother, and Charles, and Adam, and Samuel Hamilton, and then Aron, and she could see Cal smiling at her. He didn’t have to speak. The glint of his eyes said, ‘You missed something. They had something and you missed it.’” (554) Upon Aron’s visit to the brothel, Cathy is horrified after seeing his disgust of what she has become. Everything hurt more than it ever had, and she, in turn, plots to end her miserable life. Before she kills herself, Cathy decides to write her will stating that Aron will inherit everything she owns, and tells the sheriff to check Joe Valery’s fingerprints. Although Joe is an extremely minor character, Cal’s decision to show Aron their mother ultimately leads to his death as well. Cathy then commits suicide using the small bottle of poison that always hung from her neck. Lee works up the courage to open the envelope, and discovers that Aron was killed in the army. He is completely distraught and is sure that it is not his right to tell Adam his son is dead. (593) The first major event that occurs as a direct result of Cal taking Aron to see their mother is Aron enrolling in the Army. After being so disgusted that his mother is a prostitute Aron simply no longer has the will to live. This ultimately leads to
The first scene I will be discussing is when the police officers pull over Cameron Thayer, the seconnd time, with Anthony in the car with him. When Officer Tom Hansen desides to let Cameron go, you realise that he felt bad for what happened preveoisly to Camerons wife. You can tell by the look on Officer Hansens face that he knew what Office John Ryan did to Camerons wife was wrong and unethical. Officer Hansen thought that this was the best thing he could offer Cameron, which would be to let him go, or the other officers would shoot Cameron.
The story begins when Cady meets two friends, Janis and Damien, who show Cady the ways of high school. This is a very normal way in reality and most would not think much of it. Unconsciously, Freud would say, that there is some sort of motive behind this behavior and that there is no possible way that there doing it just to be nice. But as the story goes on we do find out that Janis used to be best friends with Regina (queen bee of “the plastics”) and that their friendship ended due to Regina spreading a rumor that Janis was a lesbian. When Cady is asked by Regina to hang out she is very hesitant to do so and tells Janis what is happening. Janis gets overly excited and instantly her id, the pleasure seeking principle, of her behavior jumps into play causing her to completely ignore
Cadaver. When Sal’s father leaves to go find out who the only survivor was in her mother’s bus crash, it turns out that the only survivor is Mrs. Cadaver. After her father meets Mrs. Cadaver, they start to bond over Sal’s mother. This leads her father to get closer to Mrs. Cadaver, which causes Sal to believe that her father is forgetting about her mother and focusing more on Mrs. Cadaver. Sal says, “I hoped Mr.Birkway was in love with Margaret Cadaver and would marry her and take her away so that my father and I could go back to Bybanks,” (page 116). Sal wonders if Mr. Birkway will take Mrs. Cadaver away then everything will go back to normal. However, the day that Mrs. Cadaver told her how her and her father met, Sal figured that Mrs. Cadaver wasn’t a bad person that she wanted to get rid of anymore. Sal didn’t want to believe Margaret Cadaver, until she saw the bus alongside the overlook in Coeur d’Alene. She realized that the only reason why Margaret hung out with her father was because they were close friends that connected with her mother. Sal believes that Margaret is not the crazy person that she thought of as before because she now knows that she was a big help to her family. This is a significant external force that changes Sal’s life growing
This causes Aaron to leave and Regina to also leave. Displeased with how her night was going Cady is out of lies when Janis and Damien drive by and see the party causing them to freak out. Katie did not invite Janis and Damien because she made a choice to keep them out of this “sabotage” when really she lied to them causing her to lose their friendship. Cady tries to explain the sabotage but Janis is not falling for the pathetic excuse and knows Cady has turned to a full plastic. “Hey, buddy, you’re not pretending anymore. You’re plastic. Cold, shiny, hard plastic” (Waters 2004). These conflicts are nothing compared to what happens the next day. At schools Regina exposes the Burn Book to the entire school even putting herself in it, but leaving out three girls. The Burn Book created by the plastics is a book filled with pictures of all the girls in the school with rude, insulting, and ignorant comments or opinions of the girls. Once everyone reads is written the fighting begins. The girls go nuts over the rumors, and comments wanting to know who did this. “It was full-tilt jungle madness. And it wasn’t going away” (Waters 2004). This quote is made by Cady who is frantik on what is happening. Soon all the girls are moved to the gymnasium where they begin to apologize and communicate about the problems. This leads to an argument between Cady and Regina because Janis tells the truth about spying on the
1. The story of the Exodus is taken place Egypt where Pharaoh had enslaved the Israelites. Moses was able to escape at a young age. Once he is older God tells him to return and save the Israelites. The Pharaoh refused and God sent 10 plagues to the Egyptians. It wasn’t until the last plague which killed the Pharaohs son when he lets Israel leave. This is a different view on God because most religions believe that god is good and in this case he harms a group of people in order to free a different group. This story is very important to Jews because it shows to them that god cares and he showed this by releasing the salves from Egypt. It is the starting point/transformation of the Jewish community.
The main character, Charlie must navigate through it even while feeling motionless and scared. He tells his story to the reader from his perspective. The reader sees life from exactly the way he sees the events and understands those events through a teenage boy’s eyes. The crisis is introduced when the town outcast Jasper Jones asked Charlie, a bookish young nobody of a boy for help. The reader sees Charlie’s internal conflicts of wanting to go with Jasper, feeling terrified, excited yet so wanting to be accepted by him Charlie does in fact sneak out in the middle of the night with his new friend. Jasper takes Charlie to the scene of the crime where Jasper’s girlfriend is hanging from a tree. The manner that Silvey describes Charlie’s reaction to the hanged girls is true to human nature, “I’m screaming, but they are muffled screams. I can’t breathe in. I feel like I’m underwater. Deaf and drowning.” This description foreshadows the solution to hide the body and Jasper and Charlie throw Laura Wishart into the lake. Unknown to either is Laura Wishart’s sister, Eliza. She witnessed the suicide of her sister and wrote the word “sorry” on the stump of the tree before she leaves. Charlie and Jasper find this word, assume that the killer wrote it there, and immediately jump to the

As part of Coach’s direct marketing strategy, the growing number of entering to the Coach’s websites provide an opportunity to increase the size of databases of each country’s households.
This is your dearest partner in crime, Lady MacBeth. Think of all the riches we will gain once we kill the king. Since you’ve already received honours from the king, nobody will ever suspect it was us. Especially not after we intoxicate the guards and cover them in Duncan’s blood after this beautiful murder we commit. You even said, “After we have marked with blood those two sleeping guards, and used their own daggers for the crime, everyone will think they did it. (18)” With the foul “king” finally out of our way, we can rule. You will be king, and I shall be your queen. Together, we can rule Scotland. We will be invincible. But, why must you be such a coward? What about your hopes for the future? Have your hopes been sleeping,
Cady had not noticed all of this before but as she matures she learns more about the real incentives of the aunts. After Cady remembers all of the events from summer fifteen, she has to learn to accept what has happened and find a way to deal with it. She has gone through a lot and it's not always easy to move on. At the beginning of the book Cady wouldn't have been able to but as she says on the last page of the book, "Yes, it's true that I fell in love with someone and that he died, along with the two other people I loved best in this world...

She knows that she can push through and become a better person because of this. As Cady says, "I endure"
