    Summary Of The Throwaways By Sarah Stillman

    Staff writer for The New Yorker Sarah Stillman wrote an invigorating article titled The Throwaways where she argues using civilians for sting operations is hazardous for the informants. Using civilians as confidential informants is a growing practice among law enforcement since informants do not need to be trained, paid, or even protected; nevertheless, using civilians has led to numerous amounts of deaths for victim and pain for the families of the victims. Stillman’s article uncovers the truth about the dangerous stings reputable persons must perform as confidential informants for only having charges or offenses against them, and while uncovering the truth she reveals how truly hazardous these operations are for the informant.

    Most Starch Character In Russel's Ava Bigtree

    One of the most starch character development can be observed in Ava Bigtree. In the beginning of the story, Ava has a vast imagination. Ava’s imagination is fueled by the nature surrounding her. She has the ability to see every situation she is in through a positive lens. The author uses Birdman as a catalyst in Ava’s development and the loss of her innocence. Once Ava is raped, her imagination begins to dwindle away. Eventually, the nature that once fueled her begins to force her into a new mindset. “But if I observe my friend and fairy man from a different perch of my brain, I saw the birdman could be an anybody” (Russel 283). After this pivotal moment, Ava starts to notice the nature she lives in is not as magical as she once believes. When Ava is awakened to the danger of Birdman, her perspective of nature and the world around her begins to dull. “We walked back from the hammock in silence. We passed the same trees and their same orbiting bulbs the same white flowers the same sour creamy ponds but everything looked changed to me now. The moon had a bad charge” (Russel 291). One terrible experience, in the swamp, causes the small child to lose her former identity. The event shapes the way she feels about herself and the world surrounding her.…

During her high school years she would sometimes find herself annoyed by her friend’s immaturity during their adolescent years.
