Bottom of Form DaClint Does anyone else think Middle School/Jr. High Relationships are a joke? I think that like all middle school relationships (from age 14 and lower) are complete jokes. Does anyone else agree? 7th and 8th graders are too young to know how to (or correctly) flirt, kiss, date, love, etc.
Perhaps it’s because we’re unfamiliar with the situation and we aren’t aware how to handle it. However, many people don’t think about how it looks from the handicapped person’s point of view. “The person who smiles and jokes while in obvious physical pain is honored by all” (Murphy p. 20). Murphy is saying, as long as you make it comfortable for the person who isn’t handicapped you will be accepted by society more easily than someone who expresses their agonies. You cannot express your true feelings because it is uncomfortable and rude from the Normal’s standpoint.

Enter Chronicle. Chronicle is an exception to the poorly thought out mockumentary. Running at a length of about an hour and twenty minutes, the director (Josh Trank) makes use of every minute to weave a story that is incredibly original and moving. Chronicle is the account of a teenage boy, Andrew (Dane DeHaan) who uses a hand-held camcorder to document his day-to-day life where he is often bullied, thus a recluse. He is later accompanied by his cousin Matt (Alex Russel) and a high school acquaintance Steve (Michael B. Jordan) in receiving telekinetic abilities.

He seems to be a round because he feels caring and nice at first, yet threatening as well. The reader may consider this character to be static, because he doesn’t really change throughout the story. The audience surely doesn’t like this character, considering he forced Maya into uncomfortable situations.
Christopher knows he is different, and often he detaches himself from any emotional standpoint. At times his mind is similar to that of a sociopath really. He sees things purely from a analytical and logical manner, void of any real emotions we contend with everyday. "I sometimes think of my mind as a machine...it makes it easier to explain to other people what is going on inside". Throughout the book, there is a mutual frustration between Christopher and those he interacts with, both do not understand how the other thinks.
In the play ‘Educating Rita’ cruelty and cynicism feature a great deal. One of the main characters, Frank, is cynical. Frank’s personality portrays him as a miserable old man who cannot see the good in anybody, including Rita. For example, Frank thinks that Rita is only trying to change herself because it will look good to others when they meet her rather than seeing that she is really trying to change her life for the better, not for selfish reasons. When Frank is on the phone to Julia he refers to Rita as “some silly woman” and this portrays him to be cynical because even though he has never met Rita he is already making assumptions about her in a negative manner.

In addition to this, Lockwood also misreads Heathcliff is by being totally unaware of his body language: ‘my heart warmed..when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously’ this quotations presents how Lockwood is completely oblivious to the recluse body language of Heathcliff, which strongly suggests he is uncomfortable in Lockwood’s presence. Furthermore, the fact that his ‘heart warmed’ when seeing Heathcliff react so strangely to
