Recommended: Introduction to an essay discussing the role played by jealousy

Cautiously I took a seat on the charcoal colored couch that I knew so well, my oldest brother greeted me with a gentle hug "So Trent told me you have something to say" were the first words to leave his mouth, I tensed under his touch and pulled away from his ink infested arms. His hazel eyes much like mine studied me with curiosity I was on the spot, all their attention was on me. My palms started sweating, I wished dearly that the ground would swallow me whole. My eyes flickered to Trent, to the floor then to Tannert, this pattern repeated until Tanner patted my back reassuringly this gave me enough courage to clear my throat, and...that’s it. I looked back down my nervous fidgeting hands Might as well get it over with, just go for it. I stood up straighter and looked Tanner in …show more content…

I wouldn't be surprised if he left a rubber trail with all this pacing Cautiously I carried myself away from the door and sat on the couch in Tanners previous seat next to Trent The silence was deafening and suffocating but I kept a blank face Weak I heard keys before Tanners roommate, Caleb entered.

Tanner asked as soon as the door closed "We could tell mom" Trent input from beside me "No. This would kill her" Tanner replied, maybe a little too forcefully "She's gonna find out anyway" I

    I knew it would happen. As much as I tried to stay optimistic, to put off my feelings of suspicion to an old man's negativity, I knew that this case would cost me something more than just my reputation in the town and that didn't even really matter. In Maycomb, reputation is a day by day concept. Sure, we have more than enough of our fair share of immovable gossipers, and drama kings and queens looking for a story to spread. But in everyone's own mind, if you did something stupid, immoral, or just mildly humorous or entertaining, it was the talk of the town and you were judged terribly for a few days, a few weeks tops. Then the whispers, and glances faded to conversations over coffee, and deep inside jokes. My reputation didn't bother me one bit.

    It has been a few weeks on the island. I choose to be Ralph’s side, because he was the only one to personally speak to me. An everyday image for us group of boys is Jack and his hunters hunt while Ralph, Simon, and I build shelters and Piggy and the littluns build a rescue fire. Jack harassing Piggy and then going to bed musing about being rescued. Today was different though. Today we are going to find out if the beast is real. We have been walking through the jungle all day listening to Jack and Ralph argues about being chief, which, is getting on my last nerve. As the sky changed into a dark shade, Simon volunteered to go back and help Piggy with the littluns. I don’t know why he wanted to go back alone but if anyone would sacrifice, it would be him. We reached the mountain! Jack went climbing up on his own while Ralph, and I waited for him. Eventually we decided to go up. “There was a slithering noise high above them, the sounds of someone taking a giant and dangerous strides on a rock or ash” (Golding 121).

    I wearily drag myself away from the silken violet comforter and slump out into the living room. The green and red print of our family’s southwestern style couch streaks boldly against the deep blues of the opposing sitting chairs, calling me to it. Of course I oblige the billowy haven, roughly plopping down and curling into the cushions, ignoring the faint smell of smoke that clings to the fabric. My focus fades in and out for a while, allowing my mind to relax and unwind from any treacherous dreams of the pervious night, until I hear the telltale creak of door hinges. My eyes flutter lightly open to see my Father dressed in smart brown slacks and a deep earthy t-shirt, his graying hair and beard neatly comber into order. He places his appointment book and hair products in a bag near the door signaling the rapid approaching time of departure. Soon he is parading out the door with ever-fading whispers of ‘I love you kid,’ and ‘be good.’
