Jason had just got in the house when he picked up the phone to call Ginny. He knew she’d probably heard about the incident on the news, and knew she’d be going bonkers. After his initial greeting and efforts to calm her down and tell her about what he’d been through, he finally paused to let her respond. With every word she spoke, he could hear the strain in Ginny’s voice. He imagined her face looked just as stressed. “Jason, I was so worried about you. I woke up this morning and turned on the radio like always while I have my coffee and get ready for classes. The news had all these people talking about what happened at house. It’s terrible! How can you even think of spending another night there?” “I figure it got its fill last night so it’s probably ready to rest tonight like I am” he said, trying not to sound nervous. …show more content…
I kept waiting on you to call. When you didn’t, I called the police station and they wouldn’t tell me if you were there or not. I didn’t know what to do” she said, finally taking a breath. “I’ve called and called the house today. One time, it sounded like someone picked up but they didn’t say anything. I drove over there, and some old guy was doing something to your door. I was going to stop, but I had no idea who he was and, well, with the house being like it is, didn’t want to take a chance without you being
Within the logic of the novel, it is soon established that Ginny understands and feels external reality through her body, and the most important instance of this is her bodily urge to have children. The sight of Rose's daughters, contrasted with her own miscarriages, Ginny says, "affected me like a poison. All my tissues hurt when I saw them, when I saw Rose with them, as if my capillaries were carrying acid into the furthest reaches of my system"(8).
“Ain't no police around here, Sweetie,” Junior said. The blond's brows wrinkled. She must be a newcomer. Junior explained the situation. “Sheriff's office is gutted, jail's got a revolving door. Only detectives are Staters out of Medford. If we're lucky.” He took a swig of beer. “You can thank Myra Lipton for
They are smarter than most police I’ve worked with, they know that I am world famous for solving crimes and are waiting for me to tell them my leads. I tell them that I suspect Sarah.

How can a town be nameless? You wouldn’t be able to say I am from ___. Because you would have no idea how to say where you were from except Tennessee. How does something like that happen. In the town of Nameless, Tennessee is a clear example of what happens when you don’t name a town. It was a small town in the middle of nowhere that most people didn’t know about or new was even there. Nameless, Tennessee was a town in the middle of no where. No one new who discovered the town. When the post office was created they had to come up with a name.
Before I could even think of what to do, she was right up at my window, wide-eyed. She gestured to open the door. There was no way I was doing that. She still had that aggressive tone in her facial expression. She couldn’t be trusted. She was crazy. I put my window down a little bit so I could see what she had to say. I was hoping it was an apology for rude she was to me.
Last night, a man tried to break into her house at Edmee Cir., while she was watching tv by herself. Initially, she got scared. "I saw a man at the window and ran to my bedroom to hide in the closet," she said, recalling last night’s events.
In the late 1700’s the slave population in the United States had decreased. Before the invention of the cotton gin the South, which could only make money by farming, was loosing money because it didn’t have a major crop to export to England and the North besides tobacco and rice. However, these crops could be grown elsewhere. Cotton was the key because it couldn’t be grown in large amounts in other places, but only one type of cotton that could be cleaned easily. This was long-staple cotton. Another problem arose; long-staple cotton only could be grown along the coast. There was another strain of cotton that until then could not be cleaned easily so it wasn’t worth growing. The cotton gin was the solution to this problem. With the invention of the cotton gin short stemmed cotton could be cleaned easily making cotton a valued export and it could be grown anywhere in the south. The era of the “Cotton Kingdom” began with this invention leading into an explosion in the necessity of slaves.
Paleness rushes over Janine’s body as she stands there; her face looking as if she seen a ghost. With no hesitation, she slowly shuts the door. The women knocks again, but this time Janine doesn’t answer. “What are you doing here? Go away!” Janine says.
“Poison?” she gasped. Ginny St. Clare looked at the man before her. Had he really poisoned her? Yes, she decided about the man in the dark business suit in her kitchen, who had offered to buy tiger-shaped pendant rumored to be a treasure map. He had tried to get her arrested a lot than she had done. He had harassed, cajoled, bribed and promised, but she had never parted with her link to sanity.
Ginny turned her head to the side, watching as the stream of students kiss their parents goodbye, the adults shedding tears like their children were dying, not leaving the house for a whole term, only until the school goes vacant for Christmas break. Ginny feels jealous, because neither their mother, nor father, even made an effort to see them off on their first day of college. They were quick to the excuses, as always. I'm going out of town on business, their father claimed, even though Ginny checked his work schedule, and their next out of town business wasn't marked for another three weeks. Ginny knew what business he is attending to, and it wasn't the one his work assigned him. I have a meeting, their mother conveyed, even though her school hasn't started classes yet. And, the ever prying Ginny, looked, and was once again crushed when she saw her next meeting was in four weeks. They were left. Left to the odd looks they received when stepping off the bus onto campus by themselves, Ginny gripping onto Aubrie's firm, strained hand, and Ginny knew Aubrie was trying her hardest to not grip onto her hand with her usual laid back, easy going grip. And, as soon as their feet touched the pavement, Aubrie snatched her hand away from Ginny, and went trotting off, towards the group of new people, already wanting to forget her built in best friend. Her sister,
“You really wanna know?” She lifted the judge, and locked her eyes on him. “Ask him.” She fired towards him, and he ran like the bastard she remembered. It’s not about to stop her from shooting, and it’s certainly not going to stop her from killing him.
“Your husband left a number written down in case something like this happened We were hijacked earlier, and he said that if something happened to him, for one of us to call you. Flight 93 is still in flight, but unfortunately your husband didn't make it. The terrorists, they, they killed him. He asked me to tell you he loved you. I'm so sorry.”
... got off my shift, they told me what you did at the dinner. I just wanted to thank you.” the words seemed heart felt enough, giving her a nod a grin would slowly creep it’s way across my lips. [color=400000]“Don’t worry about it, some people give shit and some people take it…Then you’ve got people like me who just clean it all up afterwards.” [/color]she would move closer, gripping me around the neck and kissing my lips softly. “You didn’t have to do it though, most wouldn’t have.” she smiled and backed away “Thank you..” would be the last words she said to me before disappearing into the darkness of the parking lot. Still a bit confused by the kiss I just shut the door, locking it once again and moved to the bed. Tucking the handgun beneath the pillow I would lay there a few moments before closing my eye’s and drifting of, maybe the nightmares wont find me tonight.
How are the central ideas of the Enlightenment era reflected in the Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver’s travel and the painting Gin Lane by William Hogarth? I will additionally focus more on the Robinson Crusoe, because it could be argued that Robinson Crusoe is based on René Descartes works, the father of modern philosophy. In order to answer the thesis we need to understand the central ideas in the Enlightenment
Bruce gave Ali a nod unsure of just how this night was going to end. “Have a few things on my mind, nothing to worry about.” At least for
