What happened when Carrie went over to speak to Halyey, what did she tell her friends
Arriving at Hayley’s house, Haley wasn't too pleased to see Carrie. She began acting ill-mannered towards Carrie, although Carrie had informed her that many people are worried about her, Hayley didn't care what her friend had to stay. Hayley starts to yell, it was rude and hurtful things about her friends, Shana, Kyrsti, Jen and Lori. She begins with Jen saying, "She said it makes her sick, the way Jen stuffs food into her fat face at lunch." (Sherrard 45). Next she begins to bash Lori, "Lori is the most selfish, stuck-up person I’ve ever met,” (Sherrard 45). She continued, "Kyrsti is such a skank who wear the shortest skirts she can find because she wants all the guys to know she’s open for business.” (Sherrard 45). She then continues, "Shana is the worst of all of us because she goes around acting all goody-two-shoes, but then she went and made out with a greaseball like Sly Black wood.” (Sherrard 45). This reminds me of a movie I once watched, called Girl in Progress. This movie surronds a teenage girl named Ansiedad who wants to fit in and be popular. Her attempts results in her turning on her best friend Tavita. She tells Tavita during the film, "Your fat, your ugly, you have to get your food specially made for you and your a hippo.” In both situations, there are people who are making fun of their friends.
Describe in your own words why Carrie lied about Hayley stealing?
Carrie lied about Hayley stealing perhaps because Hayley knew something about Carrie that was really terrifying and could ruin her. maybe that's why she made up this whole accusation about Hayley stealing because if Hayley is out of the group she can't tell anyone ab...

...ssing her ring and blamed Hayley if they never found it in her bag?
I think the author, Valerie Sherrad included the part of Lori missing her ring and blamed Hayley for it because she wanted a rival between Lori and Hayley Lori just had just pointed the finger at Hayley because she had no one else to accuse of the missing ring. The author must have thought it would have been clever so it blends in with the story more because in the story it said everyone was missing things. The author wanted a rival in the book because Shana had been already mad at Hayley stealing her brooch and it made it better when Lori was mad at Hayley too for thinking Hayley stole her ring. This reminds me of an author named "Karen Kendall" she puts relevant parts into her book like "Valerie Sherrad" to make her books good like Valerie Sherrad does.

The play “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley began with a sermon by Father Brendan Flynn, a well liked and enlightened neighborhood priest, who says, "Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty". (Shanley 6) Sister Aloysius Beauvier is a strict traditional nun, who was declared to protect and secure St. Nicholas Church School. Father Flynn seems to be the protagonist in the play and Sister Aloysius is the antagonist. The whole play, sister Aloysius Beauvier suspected Father Flynn of molesting a 12-year-old boy named Donald Muller, who is the first African-American student in the St. Nicholas Church School. I think that Sister Aloysius’s overreacting, because Father Flynn is innocent. In the middle of these two characters, Sister James is a young and innocent teacher who wants to be neutral between the conflict of Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn.

Depending on what study is read, the incidence of false confession is less than 35 per year, up to 600 per year. That is a significant variance in range, but no matter how it is evaluated or what numbers are calculated, the fact remains that false confessions are a reality. Why would an innocent person confess to a crime that she did not commit? Are personal factors, such as age, education, and mental state, the primary reason for a suspect to confess? Are law enforcement officers and their interrogation techniques to blame for eliciting false confessions? Regardless of the stimuli that lead to false confessions, society and the justice system need to find a solution to prevent the subsequent aftermath.
Carrie will either follow down the right path and better herself or let society and fame consume her and become worse, which is what she does.

This love for religion inspired Carrie to help the homeless, or unfortunate people, with god’s help. Joining multiple clubs within the church, her favorite was the WCTU, or woman's Christian temperance Union. Carrie soon realized her true hate for alcohol, and blamed many bad situations on alcohol: her previous failed marriage, most prison inmates, and widows left to take care of their kids. Alcohol was a the enemy, and this hate that Carrie was feeling was just the beginning of her fight for reform. During this time, Carrie helped pass a law against selling booze, and so now each county could decide if it wanted to sell it or
1. The memoir that I feel most reflects my life is Living in Tongues by Luc Sante. I was raised predominantly speaking another language, Farsi. It is also the language that I mainly speak at home considering my grandmother is visiting and it would be rude for me to speak to my other family members in English. When I first started Kindergarten, I did not know how to speak English, nor did I know how to write in it. I too, felt frustrated and somewhat alienated. I am also interested in American History and the historical sites and attractions within the United States. I cannot get over how large Yellowstone National Park is or how beautiful the streets of New York can get on summer nights. Whenever my parents get mad at me, they speak in Farsi too and sometimes it is hard for me to decipher what they are saying.

One of the most treasured and cherished virtues any human beings can possess is honesty. William Damon is a professor of education at Stanford University, director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence, and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. In his essay, “The Death of Honesty” which was published by the hoover institute at Harvard University in 2012, Williams explains how dishonesty has been accepted in the world of today. He discussed the increase in the “death of honest.” William Damon utilized logos to convince his targeted audience on the current state of honesty within one’s professional, religious, political, academic and personal links. This essay appeal to varieties of people among which includes young and old adults,
In this film, Tracy is a prime example of an adolescent and much of what I have learned this year can be applied to her character. “Fitting in” is a concept that is seen a lot in adolescence. Teenagers will do pretty much anything at times to have friends or appear to be “cool.” That is exactly what happens to Tracy in this film. As the film begins, Tracy is a good, simple girl, and her pureness all changes when she befriends the most popular girl in school, Evie Zamora.
In Chapter 1 of Sister Carrie, when Carrie boarded on the afternoon train headed for Chicago, “she was eighteen years of age, bright, timid and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth… She gazed at the green landscape now passing in swift review until her swifter thoughts replaced its impression with vague conjectures of what Chicago might be.” (page 3) At the time, we know only that Carrie was an eighteen-year-old girl from Columbia City, Wisconsin, that her father was a miller, that she had at least one elder sister, and that she grew up in straitened circumstances; however, in the end when Carrie seemed to have
as we read the novel we also discover she has no morals. Even though at some point Dreiser claims that Carrie is "the victim of
Take these two illustrations, the lying and the taking of an innocent child's life, this could be seen as being equally wrong. Although, with that being said, the end that is supporting for one's household and the saving of a woman's life are without doubt morally right. Alternatively, one must learn to categorize what should be done in order to avoid the consequences of what is done. To elucidate my perspective what if the individual lying was not given the job due to the fact that they lied? What if the aborted baby had the cure for cancer? To conclude the wrong means used can lead to ruin rather than good.
On the train to Chicago, Carrie had met a traveling salesman, Charlie H. Drouet. She is impressed by the way he talks and dresses. When they meet again, Drouet is aware of her beauty and innocence and he hopes to charm and seduce her. He "lends" Carrie money to buy nice winter clothes, treats her to fine meals, takes her to the theater, and shows her the sights of Chicago. Because Carrie is young and inexperienced in the world of men, she is not wise enough to understand where all Drouet's attention is leading toward. Although she senses that the money should be given back, her desire and longing for the good things in life are so powerful that she ignores her beliefs in what is right and wrong.
