Although Lois developed a strong sense of guilt after the strange disappearance of her best friend Lucy, she is not at total blame. Cappie felt it would be easier to put the blame on Lois at thirteen years old than try to understand how a member in her camp went missing in plain daylight. However, Lois punishes herself for the rest of her life by her intimacy issues she suffers with having for her family, the abandonment she feels every day for leaving Lucy to deal with her issues on her own and the unstableness of herself that evolved from that one day in the

Here today, gone tomorrow and never to be seen again. Thousands of people go missing each year in the United States, leaving behind mysteries without any clues. People disappear into what seems like thin air without a trace as to why they disappeared. In some cases, the person that disappeared is eventually found either alive or dead. Whether it is a year after the person went missing or fifty years after. Some families of a disappeared person finding out that their loved one is dead and knowing what happened to them is better than never finding them and constantly wondering about them. This is the story of Amelia Simmons who disappeared without a trace, leaving behind no clues as to why she disappeared or any clues to what had happened to

It is likely that he was murdered instead of him committing suicide because it has been said that Meriwether’s companion lied about Meriwether Lewis committing suicide, was murdered by assassination, and was shot by two gunshots.
spoony has already found evidence that he wasn't resisting and completely believes that jerry's and the police station are hiding something from the media. Of course, he will play a role in proving his innocence if this ever gets to court.I think that spoony will also do something terrible to the cop if this case just blows over as some type of revenge. Spoony seems to have a very strong bond with brother that could break because spoony could do something rash and uncalled for getting too involved with this situation .i also theorize spoony has had a similar experience that almost ended him up in prison and he doesn't want his little brother to go through a scare like

Another issue that Nella Larsen brings up in her story, Passing, is the aspect of lesbianism.

When Natalee Holloway went missing her face was plastered on every television screen to promote her being found. Some people wonder why white females make national news more often than any other female or male for that matter. In the argumentative essay “Not Only Natalee is Missing” Anne-Marie O’Connor tries to explain how and why people make national news. O’Connor’s essay starts out based on the idea that white females are the only ones that make national news, but her use of pathos, ethos, and logos, prove this idea to be based upon economic status and race rather than gender alone.

Mrs. Loisel and the grandmother are also similar in their reasons for keeping quiet. They were both too embarrassed to say anything when they found out they had made a mistake. Mrs. Loisel was too embarrassed to tell her friend that she had lost the necklace, because she thought so highly of her rich friend. "She had a rich friend, a schoolmate at the convent, whom she did not like to visit, she suffered so much when she returned." (66) Because Mrs. Loisel thought so highly of her friend, she was too embarrassed to tell her that the diamond necklace was gone. Instead she chose to keep her secret quiet and work to pay off the loans they got when they purchased a new necklace. If Mrs. Loisel would have swallowed her pride, and told her friend what happened, it would have saved 10 years of her life, and her appearance.

Cappie is usually smiling at Camp Manitou, but when she accuses Lois of pushing Lucy, she shows the true side of human emotion. Humans can be as ruthless and unforgiving as the wilderness
Then Cappie said, “sometimes we are angry and we don’t know it, we lose our temper”. She was accusing Lois of pushing Lucy off the cliff. This was unfair and hits the girl like a slap (p.7,bl.2). – Now Lois is an old woman living alone in her apartment and realizes that she lived all her life with a feeling of guilt implanted in her fourteen year old head by Cappie, the owner of the camp.
