“Did you forget your lunch this morning?” asked Miss Caroline.
“I looked straight ahead. A muscle twitched in my jaw. “Did you forget it this morning?” asked Miss Caroline. My jaw twitched again.
“Yeb’m,” I mumbled.
Miss Caroline went to her desk and opened her purse. “Here’s a quarter,” she said to me. “Go and eat downtown today. You can pay me back tomorrow.”
I shook my head. “Nome thank you ma’am,” I drawled softly.
Anger crept into Miss Caroline’s voice: “Here Walter, come get it.”
I shook my head again.
When I shook my head a third time someone whispered, “Go on and tell her, Walter.”
This scene is taking place at Walters school with Miss Caroline. They’re

    "Yes the motherfucker looks so deadly it makes me giggle and blush." (155) Weapons play an important role in war. Not only do they protect and kill, but they provide a feeling of comfort to a soldier because the soldiers are in control of their weapons. During the Gulf War in Iraq, soldiers were excited by their deadly weapons as described in the pervious quote. In the book Jarhead, a memoir by Anthony Swafford, soldiers have intense relationships with their weapons. Swafford constantly describes the many guns he carries, the process of cleaning his weapons and how they use them. Swafford's fear of dying triggers his obsession with weapons because they are the only aspect of the war he can control to stay alive. Even after the war is…

    What is fashion? Fashion is wearing clothes, shoes, and accessories in the way that you like and sometimes praised by people. Nowadays, there are many magazine, newspapers, websites, and blogs are all about fashion styles. Many photographers take photos of famous stars, rich people, models, and designers’ runways. Bill is a photographer “on the street”, and he doesn’t care who is the person that he is taking the picture of. He only cares if he is interested in the styles that people are wearing or not. I have observed his photos, and I found out that Bill was also very concerned about details. He took picture with specific details such as shoes whether high or low, the hair styles whether they are suitable for the clothing or not, and the accessories whether they are still good looking with the clothing or not. I like this man and this film because Bill is not only working with the fashion, he also concerned about people’s arrangement skills of the clothing and give them comments when he is editing the pictures with his colleagues, he put his whole life with fashion and he is still passionate, and he is recording fashionable elements of details with the whole New York city, likewise, his photo, magazine, and newspaper collections are the fashion history of New York city.…

    Mr Watts Quotes

    • 1094 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Mr. Watts is a liar whose life is based on half truths. He transforms from ‘Pop Eye’ to an influential teacher and to Matilda and the children on the island, he is a knowledgeable, superior man who brings energy to them. Portrayal is arguably reflective of the structure of the narrative and Lloyd Jones has chosen to tell ‘Mister Pip’ through the eyes of a young, depressed Matilda. Furthermore we receive a biased view on life on the island, which is coming from someone who has possibly suffered from post-traumatic stress. The character of Matilda is essentially a device used by Jones which demonstrates how memories are untrustworthy and distorted because she is an innocent child who chooses to filter her memories. Also she is a going through puberty so would not necessarily remember some are of things that are happening to her. Jones chooses to base the novel on the island of Bougainville as it is a remote part of the world which is isolated. This allows him to make things up as people are not likely to know what happens there.…
