A dreadful potential hides under those gentle features.” The words danced on his mind. -“That man, he had seen her just once and actually could see that far. How is that possible?” Byakuya thought.

Both, she and Kaien are training at Koifushi Mountain”- -“I see”- Ukitake looked at him curiously and then suggested -“We may go there and take a look, its impressive how much she has improved in the short time she has been here, and I think you will be pleased to see it”- -“I have heard that.

People around them stopped dancing to stare at them curiously; Rukia dances with gazelle´s elegance but strong and full of pride The dress accused the elegant curves of her slender body at side-view A year after his wife´s death, they found that Rukia was studying at the shinigami academy, the second thing that impressed him about her was that someone who came from the Rukongai and hadn´t had previous preparation could have such a level, as far as he know, Hisana never had one bit of spiritual power That´s exactly why he had removed her from any vacant seated post. It was his duty to protect her, he had a promise to comply and he will never fail again on doing so. “From now on” He thought. “It seems the task will become more difficult to do and certainly her showing does not help"

He said to himself that she was too light and childish, too uncultivated and unreasoning, too provincial, to have reflected upon the ostracism or even to have perceived it.

In Francine Prose’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read her purpose is to inform the audience that books presented to high school and college students are not to study the language, words, and value of a text, but to study and bring up discussion on other topics such as racial discrimination and human nature.

She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don’t know what she was—any thing that no one ever saw, and every thing that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had the sense to say a word to her.
