    Chapters 15-19 a lot of important events occurred that will impact the end of the story I think. Such as in chapter 15 we right away found out about the dark truth of Rudy. It was an extremely shocking new, I was not expecting that at all. I used to think Rudy was probably a nice guy mostly after finding out that he was priest. That maybe he had just felt disappointed about the religion or something and therefore he would drink a lot.…

    The little girl ran into a wall. This was not an unusual occurrence but it was a painful one and the young child began to cry. Her mother didn’t help her, nor did her father – they were on a business trip to Peru. The wall felt sorry for the girl but (being an inanimate object) there was not much it could do to help so it just sat there. “Poor soul” it whispered, the sound of its voice melting into the waves of the wind, never to be heard again.…

This informational data is useful for the inflation of good and services, tracking the market value of goods and services (gross domestic product), and other macroeconomic indicators for more than 200 countries.…

    Writing a dialectical journal for the first time was actually interesting. Especially spending each day with a leaf. I would get weird looks or questions from my family and friends why I am holding a leaf. If I saw someone holding a deformed leaf in the library, or cafeteria I would react the same way. For a week we have to take at least ten minutes of our time to write down our experience with our object for class. In my case I took my leisure time with a leaf.…
