Arden was yelling at another student, and although it was loud, the argument hadn't reached being physical yet. Surprisingly, she had restrained herself from shoving the kid's quiz down his throat. No, she thought, punching is more effective.
This is what she got for minding her own business. They had just received their grades for the quiz they took last week, and remarkably Arden had received a decent grade on it. She supposed it was the tutoring, but she didn't think Elijah's head could get any bigger. Unfortunately, tutoring seemed to be helping too much, as people seemed to think she's cheating.
First, her teacher gave her a suspicious look returning her quiz. Then, she saw Erik looking at her score.
"No way you got that," He said under
Now I wished that I could pen a letter to my school to be read at the opening assembly that would tell them how wrong we had all been. You should see Zachary Taylor, I’d say.” Lily is realizing now that beauty comes in all colors. She is also again being exposed to the fact that her way of being raised was wrong, that years and years of history was false. “The whole time we worked, I marveled at how mixed up people got when it came to love.
Melinda had several times through the year where if she had asked for help, her life would have drastically improved. An instant of such is near the beginning of the school year, where Melinda notices her friend Rachel in the bathroom. On page 21 the text reads, “I want to grab her by the neck and shake her and scream at her to stop treating me like dirt. She didn't even bother to find out the truth—what kind of friend is that?” No matter the attitude of Rachel, Melinda did not bother to communicate with Rachel, which prevented her from learning about what actually happened. If Melinda had spoken, she would have gained necessary emotional help from her friend, and it would have infinitely improved her condition during her freshman year. Melinda did not understand the power of words, until she could not speak. Luckily, after a few negative incidents throughout her freshman year, Melinda finds the courage to speak out and ask others if they can relate to her traumatic occurrence, her rape at the party. She scribbles a note in the bathroom stall, writing, “Guys to Stay Away From”, then proceeded to write Andy Evans name. And though this method was anonymous, it helped her find those that also stayed silent. “There's more. Different pens, different handwriting, conversations between some writers, arrows to longer paragraphs. It's better than taking out a billboard. I feel
The next unclear situation is when the Governess learns of Miles’ expulsion. This is one of the main mysteries within this story. The question, “What does it mean? The child’s dismissed his school,” is the only question that the reader has throughout the conversation between the Governess and Mrs. Grose (165). Even though their conversation does inform the reader that the school has “absolutely decline[d]” Miles, it doesn’t clarify what exactly he has done to be expelled (165). The Governess comments, “That he’s an injury to the others” and “to corrupt” are her own opinions as to why Miles was expelled (165, 166). Nevertheless, her comment does not help the reader in any way because the remark in and of itself is unclear. Her first comment suggests that Miles might be causing physical harm to other students but her second ...
Unpopular opinion time. In my review policy, I specifically state that I am going to be honest with my reviewing – and this is going to be one of those times when it hurts. You know the pain when you’re excited for something and then it lets you down faster than you partners in a group project ever could? Yea, well, this was one of those times. I had such high hopes for Tonight the Streets Are Ours, the cover is gorgeous, the synopsis was intriguing, and there was some serious marketing going on before this book was released – but the book itself failed on epic proportions. I hate giving bad reviews, I have this inadvertent need to love every single book, so when I can’t make myself like it – tolerate it even – no matter how hard I try, it

Jeanne decided, that she would go along with society for once, if they wanted her to be the problem child who didn’t go along with everything they said, she wouldn’t be. Jeanne decided that she shouldn’t have to listen to the same words every day “Why can’t you be a normal child?”, “Why do say such horrible things?”, “Why don't you follow along like everyone else?”, and “Why do you keep bullying your classmates?”. Jeanne had enough of the lectures, of the accusations, and she had especially had enough of everyone telling her she wasn’t

At the beginning of this novel and for the first several chapters, I saw Edna as a strong woman who wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself. Specifically, the fact that she was unhappy in her marriage. As we know, in the time set in the story it was exceedingly difficult to get a divorce especially when the reason is that the woman is unhappy. As sad as it sounds, that’s the way it was. As time went on, however, it became apparent that Edna always seemed to want something more. When she became infatuated with Robert, I was not necessarily surprised but rather dissapointed. In my opinion, cheating on your spouse behind their back is a horrible, immature action.
