The DeRosier’s were also the ones who shattered her dreams of a perfect family by saying “We take you in because your parents don’t want you"(35). The DeRosier’s left April with a shame of her background and an even deeper shame for her parents. Even though the DeRosier’s did so much bad for April and her identity, they still did some good for her. They made such an horrible environment but April stayed strong and grew as a person. She even said “I could let the DeRosier’s suck out my dignity for now and I could pretend they had me where they wanted me.
I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family. She didn’t want to commit the crime because she was trying to talk Antigone out of doing the crime. In the end Ismene is the only one who lives and has a kind of guilt free life. She may not have family left besides Creon but at least she tried to save them. I think out all the characters she made the smarter choices and she thought about the consequences.
Then I mean she basically threw her life away for nothing and she could have put it to good use by starting a relationship with clay and getting him to help her with her grades and get them back up so that her parents would have been proud of her and maybe they would have gotten along better and not so mean to one another all the time. I also thinks if she could have changed, then maybe her parents would have did more things with her and been there for her. Then the outcome of her life would have totally changed because I basically just told you the answer to all of her problems she was going through and how she could have fixed them. Then so maybe if she wouldn’t have done what she had done she would have realized real quick that all of these events added up did not come no where near to what her life
I realize that not everyone will be your best friend, but if I spend time obsessing over it and begin to hate them, it will just bring down my own life. Although if I love them, or like them I will go on not worrying about all the hate and live happier. I am trying to incorporate some of the life lessons from each of the three books into my own life, so I can allow myself more personal fulfillments and cease the opportunity at an unbelievable life. Feeling fulfillment in life can allow someone to feel happy and realize what they have been working hard for will come in the
Since Liz doesn’t remember her past life, she can make better decisions than she did before , based on pure judgment.

Then I read the part of Welty’s story where Phoenix has to cross the creek and she said “Now comes the trial”. (Welty, A Worn Path, 1941) For me, the trial in my journey will be actually sending our girls to school. Sure it’s fun to talk about, but actually switching from being with my girls every waking hour to having them gone eight hours a day will be a huge adjustment and I imagine, a very hard thing to do. Yet just as Phoenix crossed the creek to continue her journey, so I will get through my trial to keep on. What I have come to realize from this though, is that is isn’t the destination that is so important.
Looking back knowing what I know now I cantbelieve I thought that shamming out was ok. I let everyone down. I made my leadership look bad even though they teach me and show what the right thing to do is every day. I let everyone down. Although I did make the mistake I now know why it is so important.

Marshall was grateful the bullies had loosened up on Avalon because he was madly in love with her ever since the first day he laid eyes on her, but on the other hand, he was also devastated he was getting all this undeserved hate.

Avalon was blind towards Marshall’s feelings for her because she had always had the impression that he was homosexual because he was more in touch with his feminine side. Marshall
He strangles you because he enjoys it and gets a feeling of power from doing so. It makes him feel big: ‘I strangle her, but she still loves me, so I must be really wonderful.' If you leave him, he'll find someone else to strangle within the week." "But it's difficult, doctor." "I didn't say it was easy; I said it was necessary.
