Reactions to “Black Rook in Rainy Weather” by Sylvia Plath I an infrequently lost for words.

sight of a black bubble in a person’s skin could scare someone at least a little‚ or the terrible aches and pains brought about by a disease which no one in the region had heard about or had the slightest idea of a cure for could be a bit frightening.

I belief Beck Weathers courage and tenacity deserves to be applaud. Under those

Hence‚ they may be less likely to take school seriously as most of them are keen to look good rather than to have fantastic
