But even then, she never knew what was going on. Once she moved to a bigger town and attended a larger school, she did not have to show an interest in sports. Due to that, the author ignored sports completely. When the author grew older, she dated an Atlanta Falcons fan. So once again, she pretended to care about football.
He split the story into 5 mini chapters. “So she vanquished them, horse and foot, just as she had vanquished their fathers thirty years before about the smell.” (2) She had been told by Colonel Sartoris that she no longer had to pay taxes for the rest of her life, but when the new Aldermen called on her to collect the tax money 10 years after the Colonel died and didn’t know what she was talking about. The town had no record of what she was saying, so they didn’t believe her. So, after they finished explaining, she explained to them that she didn’t have to pay taxes, and vanquished them out of her house. Then it went 30 years further back, to explain why she vanquished their fathers.
Emily has a house that nobody has been to in over ten years (with exception of her Negro servant). Emily and her father had a deal going with a mayor named Colonel Sartorius that stated she did not have to pay taxes. Years passed, Emily’s father died, and her husband-to-be/sweetheart deserted her shortly after. In the aftermath of these losses, Emily rarely left her house. Her home gave off a horrid smell and the town’s people were not happy that she wasn’t paying taxes.

Tarantino shows her driving in this scene to show that she is still has not completed her journey. She first explains what Bill and the Deadly Viper Assassins have done to her (by this time in the movie we know that she once was part of the Deadly Viper Assassins). She tells how they annihilated her wedding rehearsal with intent to kill her and everyone there, and they almost did just that. The last bullet was saved for Bill to end the life of the pregnant bride “Arlene,” but it did not kill her, it put her into a coma. She was in a hospital until one day four years later; Beatrix was awoken by the bite of a mosquito.
It was the beginning of the school year and I was a senior at my private high school. I was taking senior pictures, ordering graduation announcements, and planning my graduation party. My mom and I were already planning the guest list for it. I honestly did not care who we invited as long as my grandparents from Texas were coming. My mom reassured me that they had already bought their tickets and that they were coming for sure!
My friend and I were playing outside as her sister Michelle, asked if we wanted to walk to the store with her. At the time my mom was at work, therefore my oldest sister was left in charge. Initially I advised that I couldn’t go, but Michelle, who was fifteen years old quickly stated, “ It’s not far that we’re going and no one will ever know we’ve left.” So against my better judgment, I left the playing area and headed for the store. We walked for what didn’t seem to be very long before arriving at the A&P grocery store. This store was new to the South.
Ms. Gretchen Johnson, one of our biology teachers (room 206), has had one problem after another with her classroom pets, snakes. She has owned a boa, a blue racer, and a king snake, all purchased from the same dealer in Louisiana. A few days after she bought them and brought them to school, the blue racer escaped from her classroom through a ventilation duct, and made it to the library. Panic between students and librarians spread all across the library until biology teacher Ed Fluner caught the snake, but not before he got bitten in the process. Luckily for Fluner, the bite (on his hand) was not serious, and blue racers are non-poisonous.
Maggie’s mother was also older and better suited to be a mother because she was older and more experienced however, Maggie’s father also left the family. Maggie turned out to be shy and refrained from social life since she did not leave the house after being burned. “She stoops down quickly and lines up picture after picture of me sitting in front of the house with Maggie cowering behind me” (Walker 746). Too much attention leads to Maggie clinging to her mother and not enough attention drives Emily to not seek out a close relationship with her mother. Both mothers are concerned with the status of their daughters.
They were everywhere: in between subdivisions, outside of the city, and even in the city. Being a teenager, I thought little of the sight other than why do my parents hate me, and why of all places are we moving here. Thankfully enough we only lasted nine months there and picked back up for greener pastures. Reflecting on the sight now fourteen years later all I can think about is the giant monoculture that was Indiana. Back then I knew nothing about agriculture or its environmental impact.
