After a bad night, by mere randomness, he decides to glue a found baby picture of him to his grandparent saint’s necklace and wears it under his shirt.

    Emily's iron- gray hair has chronological significance in the story. First, the hair belongs to Emily, who had sometime slept on the bed beside Homer Baron's dead body, near where it was found. This term “Iron-Gray” had only lied within passage 4 in paragraph 6 when the narrator describes changes in appearance of Emily: “During the next few years, it grew grayer and grayer until it attained an even pepper-and-salt iron- gray, when it ceased turning”(Faulkner, 4.6) this happened during the period of 6 or 7 years when she gave out china-painting lessons after Homer disappeared. Second, the phrase “Iron- gray hair” has connotations that can be applied to the story. The word: “Iron” could mean stubborn, or iron willed. Stubborn is definitely a describing word for Emily. The group of narrators describes a time when Emily came to pick up a bottle of Arsenic from the general store: “Why, of course”, the druggist said, “if…

    Mark Twain said, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” Twain had the belief that people need to surround themselves with others who will encourage them to be their best. Those who belittle others who are in pursuit of something ambitious are not the kind of people who are pursuing their own passions and desires. Those are people that may never have received words of encouragement to set their feet down and run. Also, those who belittle others ambitions have not had someone to walk alongside them in life and speak greatness to them. They have not been around the great ones themselves. The small are missing something that they cannot see. The influence of people around us can encourage us to greatness or easily help us to believe we are inept at achieving something bigger than what we know.…

    If I could meet any character from one of the books we read this year, I would choose to meet Skye Miller from Thirteen Reasons Why. There are many unanswered questions about Skye, and we don’t know a lot about her. We know she’s an outcast and likes to avoid people. We know Clay used to have a crush on her in 8th grade too. She appears only a few times throughout the book, but we can infer Clay goes to help her after he goes after her in the hallway. The reason I would want to meet Skye is because we don’t know a great deal about her, but from what we do know, it’s easy to tell something has happened to her, similar to Hannah or Melinda’s situations. Seeing that, there are a plethora of questions I would ask her if I had the chance of meeting…

    Herman Melville’s use of the central character in the famous short story, “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street,” truly opens up the premise of this story’s central idea. Instead of Bartleby being the central character, he uses the lawyer as the narrator, who at the time, was the boss who employed Bartleby on Wall Street. Through the eyes of this character we can still be mystified by Bartleby, but truly feel the qualities and direct affect that Bartleby demonstrated on others and mostly the narrator. As the antagonist of this story, his attitude throughout is very calm and immobile making him a static character. This unique choice of the antagonist gives the narrator many opportunities to introduce the mysterious Bartleby, describe…
