Lucy Grealy
Words: 1233 - Pages: 5.... left her face deformed. She felt ugly as a
response to people's public display of shock. As if the stares and whispers were not harsh enough, some children
would even call her 'baldy' as they would run past and knock off her hat. At school, girls would gaze at her
disfigurement and boys would laugh shamelessly as they pointed and blurted out insults. All of these experiences
added to the sense of shame that consumed her. Our culture's preoccupation with physical beauty is definitely
manifested in our youth and adolescents. At an early age, Lucy was exposed to the cultural drive for perfection in
exchange for acceptance.

Julius Caesar - Mark Antony
Words: 620 - Pages: 3.... The people became excited and rowdy when he teased them about the will, waving it in the air and pretending as if he was not going to read it. Reverse psychology is used when he first pretends to respect the conspirators calling them honorable men, and then slowly proving that they are not. He speaks out against them because he wanted power for himself, and unlike Brutus, he is politically ambitious and so believes that if he can take control while the state is in turmoil, he will remain in power. He was alone in making this oration, yet he was confidant in himself and courageous.
Rome began to collapse once Caesar was killed, and Antony wa .....

Book Report On The Catcher In
Words: 533 - Pages: 2.... he unfortunatley withdrew more and more from society. But his career was not wasted.
In this book, Salinger shows just how creative a writer he really was.
From the opening of the book, where an old and withered Holden Caulfield begins with a distant flashback from a rest home to his days in Pencey Prep, a boy's school in Pennsylvania, to the end where an obviously senile Holden, back at the rest home, claims he will be able to leave soon and that he will go back to school next September. I found the ending to be anti-climactic, but it was still pretty humorus.
