    Contentious Bones a Case Study on the Skeletal System Wh Cliff and Aw Wright

    Your 80 year-old great aunt, Persis, was placing a canning jar on the top shelf of her pantry when she stepped awkwardly off the stool and twisted her leg at the hip. She felt a sharp pain in her hip and, after collapsing to the floor, found she could no longer stand.

    Susie Salmon's The Lovely Bones

    I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973," Susie Salmon tells us in the second sentence of The Lovely Bones. She shows us who did it—a neighbor everyone thinks is weird—and describes the horrible scene, a brutal assault and dismemberment in an underground hideout in a bleak winter cornfield. Sebold's triumph is in making Susie's voice so immediately compelling that we don't want to let her go, even after she's dead. We want to know what happens next. So does Susie.…

    The Farming of Bones Summary

    Talking about the culture brought throughout this book, your looking at a Latin American culture, specifically the Dominican/Haitian cultures. As I read this book, beyond the many numerous ways she worded her sentences and how the characters spoke, they often spoke with a definant difference than you would hear here in common U.S. language. They would constantly use inferences to what they were talking about rather than being direct to what they were saying. Things like, “they say we are the burnt crud at the bottom of the pot.” –Amabelle, this is Amabelle talking to her lover, Sebastian, about how there’s talk about the field workers and the housemaids to the Dominicans, and them being “nothing”, inferring that they are poorer than the Dominicans. Or specifically, the title, “the Farming of Bones”, and mentioned also in the book, talking about how because after a day in the heat of the fields, dodging snakes and rats, brushing up against the razor sharp edges of the sugar cane, the workers find their skin is shredded, their bones being, “closer to the surface than the day before.” Another one being when there was talk about the massacre between men, when a man stood and said,”I’m one of those trees whose roots reach the bottom of the earth. They can cut down my branches, but they will never uproot the tree. The roots are too strong and there are too many.” There are also inferences, I believe in the beginning when they talk about, when Señora Valencia gives birth to twins and when the doctor finally arrives to check on the newborns' health, he says to Amabelle, "Many of us start out as twins in the belly and do away with the other." Here is where I feel another inference is posed. How Haiti and the Dominican Republic, racing for resources on the same island, can resemble like the twins in the same belly, both coming up at the same time, yet one to push the other…

    Brief Summary Of Nelly's The Deadly Bones

    Another interesting event that occurs is when Mr.Drury a worker (wasn't a very important character in the story) gets killed by witches and a woman was spotted near that site named Nelly Daws.Nelly was convicted of being a witch and taken to trial because during this time period witches were known to be evil, and the worst ones where called the old ones which fed on the talents of people.So Nelly was put to trial in front a chime child who is a person who has the sight to see both worlds the dead as well as the living. I thought that was so cool, if you think about it being able to talk to the dead, it wouldn't matter if your sister or mom, was dead because you would still be able to talk to them including your other loved ones.So as I was saying Nelly was found to be “guilty”, but that was just a random guess as when Nelly was hanged she was supposed to turn to dust which ment she was a witch, but sadly she didn’t turn to dust since she was innocent, but it was too late.As the trial was ending a pretty girl named Leanne steals Eldric’s attention from Briony beasue she was soo beautiful and attracting, plus taler on Leanne states,how she is so passionate about hunting witches and watching them get hanged even though this time a inoccent person was hanged.Again in the book Leanne steals away Eldric from Briony which gets her (Briony) jelouse so she tries to calm herself down as she knows a witches jelousy is nothing,but dangerous and if she gets to jelouos she”ll end up hurting Eldric, but she doesn’t want to do that.This part of the story was kinda cute because Briony doesn’t fully understanding of human emotions,and the first time she got jelous exept the time she was jelous of her stepmother playing…
