The Case of the Spelunkers: Murder in a "Cave Cathedral" Murder is the most heinous of human acts, and unless it is committed in true self defense can never be justified. During a weekend spelunking trip, four close male friends become perilously trapped within a "Cave Cathedral" with little food and limited water. After just a week passes with no rescue one of the men suggests the macabre idea of drawing straws to determine who will be "sacrificed" for food so that the remaining three men can improve their chances for rescue. A critical wrinkle occurs when one of the men, Paul, chooses to remove himself from the process and tells the others to leave him out of it. Unfortunately, the other three keep a straw in the game for Paul which ends up being the fateful short straw and Paul is murdered and eaten in spite of his protest.
The Joker looks on proudly, in his demented eyes he sees them falling dead with big smiles on their faces. However, Joker is upset that Batman doesn't shown up. Bruce is in the hospital with Lorna saying he won't leave her, but Alfred appears and informs him of the carnage ensuing, leaving him his batsuit. Later at a circus, Joker poses as an ordinary clown and causes a riot when he kills a man in front of his own daughter by spraying a strange green chemical in his face (having offered the little girl the choice of whether she wanted to be sprayed by the clown or whether it should be "Daddy"). When Joker sees a report on how Batman hasn't shown up, he becomes upset that he hasn't appeared, even when he rounded up other criminals so he'd have only him to contend with.

XXX. The Gold Saves the Thieves (pg 205) The King says that there is a blue cross on the dead man’s chest whereas Harvey Wilks says that there are the words “P-B-W” so everyone goes along and brings the coffin up to inspect the corpse and finds the gold that Huck has hidden (202). That spares the King and Duke’s lives as well as Huck’s own and nobody guess that Huck is ever suspicious yet. XXXI. You Can’t Pray a Lie (pg 209) The King and Duke become desperate after fruitless attempts to earn a living so they sold Jim for forty dollars.
The creature announces in a German accent that he is the Angel of the Odd - and that he is responsible for causing such strange events. The man, unconvinced, drives the angel away and takes an alcohol-induced nap. Instead of a 25-minute nap, he wakes up two hours later, having missed an appointment to renew his fire insurance. Ironically, his house has caught fire and his only escape is out a window using a ladder the crowd below has provided for him. As he steps down, a hog brushes against the ladder, causing the narrator to fall and fracture his arm.
In 1943 his uncle got injured by a mortar-bomb splinter in his left tibia which caused a horrible leg infection. The doctors at the time were confused on what type of disease he had. The story goes that a doctor would diagnose Chris’ uncle with one disease and then a symptom would arise that would defeat that diagnosis. In more recent years doctors determined that his uncle’s infection was one of two types of malaria found in his bloodstream; P. vivax and P. malariae. What most interested Christopher was that his uncle had a recurrence of malaria in January 1945 and another three, severe flare ups that started in 1987 and ended in June 1993.
LA HONORS A TALE OF TWO CITIES WORKSHEET – SUMMERIZER Chapter 9-10 Basically in the beginning Jarvis is frustrated with Cruncher for the little secrets he had been keeping such as grave-robbing other than minding his work at the bank, but Cruncher begs to differ and believes that there are many people involved in the robbing. Carton tells Jerry and Cruncher that he plans to visit Darnay before his execution. So the letter that Manette apparently wrote explains the story of Manettes imprisonment. Also I was confused did both Darnays father and uncle rape the pesant who died because of a fever??? Anyways Manette couldn’t save the life of the young pesant and was arrested because of Marquis Evermonde.
He reveals that he has stolen around twenty books, which he hides behind the air conditioning grill. Even the dull Millie understands the seriousness of her husband’s offense and immediately moves to burn his books. He, however, is able to stop her. He also tries to explain to her how his job is wrong, but his thinking is right; Millie cannot understand his explanation. The suspense that Bradbury has created in the novel about the unknown is now replaced with suspense about the consequences of Montag’s actions.
He was told that he doesn’t “belong in jail” (38). He realizes that he had done something terrible and that things will probably never be like they used to, and he was right. The death of the man was uncontrollable by Roy. The man tried to get away but it seems as if it was his time to die. The “whole cut buckled”(35) which made the “hobo” (35) lose his “balance just when he hit the gravel, and he fell backwards underneath” (35).
To describe the smell would be an impossible task but with the dead bodies rotting in shallow graves and lying out in the open in no mans land, the smell of gunpowder, cigarette smoke, mud, and the gas that lingers for a few days after an attack might give you an idea of how bad it is. They say we will get used to the smell over time but it feels like it will never leave us at the moment. The smell also attracts rats and they are everywhere you look. Some of them are as big as Coda our cat. I shaved all my hair
