George Dawes Green's The Juror: Annie
893 Words - 4 Pages.... If you keep on reading you will
understand the risks of serving for jury duty ¨Who will protect you?¨2
Before I met her, Annie was an unadorned artiste who had just transferred out of
Manhattan and into the country. To a small cottage by a lake. Her child, Oliver,
who loved to ride his bike, moved in as well. I have to say that when I met
Annie for the first time it was as Juror N° 224. She was a sparkling maid. Who
would have thought a rotten soul such as the teacher would try to harm her? I
confess that her recoil in the following days impressed me. This time the trial
was against Louie Boffano. He was the head of the mob. He and his right hand The
Teacher were as bad a ....

Her breasts stuck straight out and true; her little flanks looked delicious; her hair was long and lustrous black; and her eyes were great big blue things with timidities inside. O gruesome life, how I moaned and pleaded, and then I got mad and realized I was pleading with a dumb little Mexican wench and I told her so” (p. 80) This quote makes clear Sal’s intentions with this woman, and also the fact that he is somewhat racist.

Around The World In Eighty Days: Summary
573 Words - 3 Pages.... antagonist of the novel was time, Mr. Fogg was pressured to
arrive back in London within 80 days or otherwise lose his fortune.
My favorite character in the novel is Passepartout. Passepartout

was told to pack for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel

My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg

incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest
Fogg but erroneously ....

Native Son And Black Boy
1251 Words - 5 Pages.... angry in the beginning to powerful yet sad in the end.
2. Bigger is shown to us at the beginning of the book as a young black boy wanting so badly to be able to everything a white person could do. It is shown to us that bigger keeps all his fear and hate and emotions bottled up inside of himself, especially with whites because of the way that they make him feel. I believe it to be though that Bigger does the most significant change in his character when he kills the young white girl Mary and gets sent to jail. With Mary he was able to let his feelings out after he had seen what happened, what he'd done. All the hate he could see that in a way he was like the white peo ....

1642 Words - 6 Pages.... best at
everything. From the very start he was working out his arms trying to make
himself bigger that way to make up for being to short. He joined the cub scouts
with his friends and marched in the memorial day parade. He hit a home run his
first time at bat in little league. When he grew he joined the wrestling team
and constantly won first place in competition. When he lost, it was so
emotional that he would cry. He would do anything to be first, even if it meant
incredible agony.
The coaches made us do sit-ups, push-ups, and spinning drills until
sweat poured down our faces and we were sure we'd pass out. "Wanting to win and
wanting to be first, that's w ....
