The entire Yelnats family struggled and suffered heavily, supposedly, due to a curse put on them by a one-legged gypsy, Madame Zeroni. An old, Egyptian woman, Madame Zeroni reluctantly provided Stanley’s great-great grandfather, Elya Yelnats, with a piglet, to get the love of his life, Myra Menke. As her father was already in talks with Igor Barkov, who offered an enormous pig, he demanded something similar. Thus, Madame Zeroni told Elya to carry the piglet up the mountain where water ran uphill, make him drink that water and sing to it, every day. While it would grow, he would get stronger and tougher too. She, however, had strictly warned him to come back for her, to carry her up the mountain, let her drink from the same water and sing to her, otherwise, “He and all his descendants would be cursed for eternity.” Being a fifteen-year old, Elya did not take this very seriously and forgot about the assurance he had given Madame…

I was furious, and planned on getting my revenge on the Highwayman. So that morning when the Highwayman did not show up, I took a horse from the stables, and rode until I found a group of redcoats on the road. I told them that I knew the whereabouts of The Highwayman, and it turns out he was a wanted man and they had been looking for him for a long time. So, near midnight, after we devised a plan, we rode to the inn. We bursted in through the doors of the inn, and we didn’t talk to Bess’s father, but we did drink his mighty fine ale. I marched up with the redcoats to Bess’s room, and they put a rag in her mouth and tied her hands to the edge of the bed. Then they placed a musket beneath her breast, which was probably to keep her in…
“The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee… Piggy fell forty feet and landed opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig’s after it has been killed” (Golding 181). As anyone could tell, Piggy’s death was anything but peaceful.

Eventually, they stay on the island for so long, with no community structure, that some start becoming savages.

‘Boxer!’ she cried, ‘how are you?’ ‘It is my lung,’ said Boxer in a weak voice. ‘It does not matter. I think you will be able to finish the windmill without me. There is a pretty good store of stone accumulated. I had only another month to go in any case. To tell you the truth, I had been looking forward to my retirement. And perhaps, as Benjamin is growing old too, they will let him retire at the same time and be a companion to me.’ ‘We must get help at once,’ said Clover. ‘Run, somebody, and tell Squealer what has happened.’...lence he read: ‘Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.’ Do you not understand what that means? They are taking Boxer to the knacker’s!’ A cry of horror burst from all the animals. At this moment the man on the box whipped up his horses and the van moved out of the yard at a smart trot. All the animals followed, crying out at the tops of their voices. Clover forced her way to the front. The van began to gather speed. Clover tried to stir her stout limbs to a gallop, and achieved a canter. ‘Boxer!’ she cried. ‘Boxer! Boxer! Boxer!’ And just at this moment, as though he had heard the uproar outside, Boxer’s face, with the white stripe down his nose, appeared at the small window at the back of the van. ‘Boxer!’ cried Clover in a terrible voice. ‘Boxer! Get out! Get out quickly! They’re taking you to your death!’...Three days later it was…
However, he was not dead. This was very common among patients in the 1800’s who had went into a coma, as doctors back then could not distinguish the difference between a dead person and one who was in a coma. After being buried, two medical students from a nearby university are on the search for a fresh cadaver to perform an autopsy on and experiment with, in order to further their studies on the human body and its anatomy. The cemetery which Armstrong has been buried in is nurtured by a black caretaker named Jess, who covertly sells the fresh bodies of those he’s supposed to be caring for. As the three men dig up the burial site, Armstrong is awoken by the noises and sits straight up when his coffin is opened, providing a good scare for the gravediggers. Following the shakeup at the cemetery, the students go into their examination room the next morning to discover Jess waiting patiently by one of the tables; along with a now dead Henry Armstrong, whom he killed by hitting him in the head with a spade. As the students stare in shock, Jess, with a smile on his face says he wants to be paid for the corpse who is really dead now and lying naked on their examination…
