"Are you sure you'll be fine without me?" Mabel asked, twiddling her numbs nervously as she sat on her bed in the room she shared with her brother in the Mystery Shack.

Grenda joined her, while Mabel took a few glances at the statue, before stepping in and deciding to examine it as well, bringing out her glittery notebook along with a feathery pen. She figured this qualified as something incredibly weird, and decided to write down stuff she noticed about it. She also made a sketch of the statue without the hat of course, the sketch of the statue looking much cuter than the actual statue itself.

"Has this always been here?" Grenda questioned after a long moments of silence. The three girls looked at each other, knowing very well that it had not. Even in a place as weird as Gravity Falls, the three could've noticed something as strange looking as this statue which was undeniably of Bill Cipher. They were all silent now, and Mabel thought more about Bill Cipher and this statue. How long had this been here? By the looks of it it seemed to be here for several months.

Hannah forced her smile to remain and nodded though he wasn't interested in waiting for a response and had already turned his back to her. Once out of earshot she breathed a sigh of relief, glanced over her appearance and undid a couple of extra buttons on the skimpy blouse she had on over the blue and black plaid mini skirt and ridiculously high stilettos which, along with her thong and stockings would be the only thing she'd have left on by the end of her routine.…

    How does a positive attitude help avoid conflict? According to Remez Sasson,”It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking… you see the bright side of life” (Sasson). This shows that seeing the bright side of life will make all worries and negativity dissipate during tough challenges. During World War 2, many people used the method of positivity to endure the misery. From Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank tries to stay positive while in hiding. It was exceedingly challenging getting around without getting captured by the Nazi. Another novel is Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Incarceration During World War ll and a Librarian Who Made a Difference from Joanne Oppenheim. One of the many letters is from Louise Ogawa, and she, like all the other Japanese, had to go to an internment camp.
