Pickton didn't do particularly well in school, and was made fun of by the other children because of his poor hygiene and the fact that he frequently smelled like hog manure. Robert had developed a fear of showers because his mother insisted on taking baths only. Pictkon always wore his trademark knee-high gum boots because of all the mud, pig manure and slaughtering operations on the farm. Robert’s mother looked out for him in particular, as she knew he had a harder time that her other offspring. As he grew older, Pickton frequently skipped school to stay home on the farm.
Case Study: Robert Hansen History and the Crime Robert Hansen was born February 15, 1939 in Estherville, Iowa. He grew up as an antisocial child due to bad acne and a stuttering problem which led him to have few friends . His father was very strict and forced him to work many hours at the bakery which he owned. He was a small, straggly child and although he was left-handed, his father forced him to be right handed, contributing even more to his stuttering problem because of the increased frustration. After graduating high school he enlisted in the Army Reserves and after basic training he worked mostly in his father’s bakery.
Quentin carries around a suitcase stuffed with books wherever he goes and finds excuses to get out of gym class. He is excitable and often confounds the other members and townspeople with his advanced vocabulary when jumpy. Jimmy "O'Dell" Carroll: is small and excitable, the most emotional member of the group. His father drove the town garbage truck, allowing O'Dell access to many useful items, frequently scrounged to further the group's efforts.

The police arrested him for stealing a pair of very important shoes that had belonged to Clyde Livingston. Bad luck? Or a curse from his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather Stanley Yelnats I? “His muscles and hands weren’t the only parts of his body that had hardened over the past several weeks. His heart had hardened as well.” Stanley was not the skinniest of all boys and digging all day in the excruciating heat would have been tough for poor Stanley.
He drank to make his problems go away and he had meaningless sex to make himself feel better , but it didn’t! Curly would come for him soon but he didn't know when , he could only bide his time. As george walked down the street he noticed that it was surprisingly empty, he walked home alone with the Curly constantly on his mind. George was in the barn cleaning out the horses stables, He just couldn’t stop looking over his shoulder , he was so worried that it made him slip on the wet surface of the stable floor, he hit his head on one of the stables gates and blacked out.

Janette describes how staff at Birmingham Children’s Hospital have been encouraged to build protected time into their shifts to talk to parents, carers and patients about their experience. “It’s not just about hearing and acting on any complaints and comments,” she says, “it’s about building trust with carers and patients.

Then they begin walking them back to a village they had just passed. Ishmael notes that the rebels, none of whom are over twenty-one, are wearing clothing, shoes and jewelry that Ishmael is sure must have been stolen from houses and shops the rebels have looted. The rebels talk quietly as they force the boys along and even though Ishmael cannot hear their words, all he can think about is death, and he struggles to avoid fainting. When two of the three rebels run on ahead, they leave only one boy guarding the six friends, but none of them try to overcome him, because he carries a semiautomatic machine gun and that makes him much more powerful. When they arrive in the village, the other two rebels have gathered everyone who is still there together with the six boys.
Steinbeck personifies the cars of the migrant people by stating that they crawled onto the roads.

The paper shop was always packed full of adults on a Saturday and Sunday morning purchasing their morning papers. I felt this was discrimination by the way he was looking at us with distaste and even when we went in his shop two at a time he would watch us like a hawk.

It made me feel like I was untrustworthy and unwanted.
