Mornings like this were always his least favorite. Standing by the stop sign at the end of Westbury Lane, waiting for the school bus. So cold he could see his breath, and feel his bones rattle with shivers. His big brothers hand-me-down jacket had too many holes in it to be a sufficient heat source, and his thing cloth gloves didn't have half the finger tips. The only thing saving him on this frigid winter morning was the hunters orange beanie he stole from the lost and found the week before.
On the new bus rides to and from school. They’ve started tossing wads of paper and a wet chewing gum at Paul by an older kids in the back of the bus. Paul was cornered by Chris’s friends. When he arrive to the playground Chris grabbed Paul’s shirt and raised his fist at him. Questioning him if he was George’s new friend he denied being George’s friend then Chris threw him on a ground.
Chris had many problems growing up he thrived off of his peers laughter and enjoyment but his biggest priority was making his dad proud which caused him so much grief and psychological problems through his life. Christopher Crosby Farley Born February 15th 1964 was the middle child of 6. Chris’s siblings as well as Chris would always fight for their father’s acceptance whether it was in academics or athletics. Since Chris was the middle child he was never the favorite growing up, Chris always looked for attention every day on the bus he would sing specific songs based off of his comedic attitude that day. All Chris cared about was making people laugh that was his life’s motive.

They do things differently and they spend time doing the most absurd things. When you first get to Nacirema you can’t really tell that there’s anything strange about them. It’s only after you learn their customs and ways of doing things that you actually realize that Naciremians really are the strangest people you will ever meet. In the time that I have spent in Nacirema I have noticed that the small Naciremians leave almost every day in very large bumblebees. Once I followed one of these bumblebees and ended up at a very large box with small Naciremians swarming all over the place.
Going to Mindo for the first time is a phenomenal encounter. The children there are innocent and happy all the of time. The way they bombard you with hugs that first day as you get off the bus is overwhelming. I remember thinking to myself, “Who is this little girl that has finished running up to me and giving me a gigantic hug?” Back in Miami, no one goes around giving random hugs to people. So, that little girl and the rest of the children caught me off guard.
When we crossed the street He almost got hit by a car and that’s when we knew that he was higher than a bird. “You see what happens when you smoke weed?” I asked him. “I like pickles.” He responded like a crack head. When we reached school people were gazing at us but mostly A.J. everyone knew off the back that he was super high.
On the “rez” he went by his middle name, Junior, and at Reardon high school he went by his first name, Arnold. Junior had many medical problems from the start of his life.

Everyone made fun of him except for his best friend named Rowdy.
How is The Theme of Courage Explored in To Kill a Mockingbird? Courage means different things to many people. To most people, courage is simply the characteristic which a person has who is able to build up the bravery in order to overcome a task which they were originally not determined to do. To others, courage is being able to put yourself in the most dangerous position you possibly can, and acting as though you are not afraid of it. However, to a large amount of people, courage is a mixture of the two.
Most people who have attended school can remember back when it took an enormous amount of courage to face an intimidating bully. Standing up to one of these oppressing individuals might have seemed unreasonable or even impossible. I agree with Eleanor Roosevelt when she said that, "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." One must not allow another individual to take control through intimidation; furthermore, it takes strength from within to confront a bully with the intent of restoring a true and noble order in the once domineering association.
