His murderous mindset all started at a young age. He was the seventh child of thirteen of a prostitute in the village of Tolima, Colombia, and was later kicked out of his family at the age of eight when he was caught fondling his younger sister. He was then picked up by a man, taken to a deserted house and repeatedly sodomized . So him living off the streets, sleeping in alleyways, traveling from place to place and not being able to trust anyone had lethal damage to his mind. While living on the streets he was adopted by an American family who supported him, and gave him shelter.
Being a young man away from home cooked meals and that lovely warm cuddly sensation that you feel when your mum says goodnight to you was tough enough (Pause) ; let alone the fighting and killing of those that had become your best friends, (pause) your brothers. Well you imagine this. (Pause) One day you’re helping get your dying mate into a Huey, while the others are calling cover fire. Then a month later you’re in some public services office somewhere being told by some Vietnamese woman, who I could barely understand for that matter, that you can’t wear your boots inside as it’s classified as unclean. (Sarcastically) Yeah and she was telling me about unclean.
As soon as I found out I was sure to make Zamiir and Kayla know because I wanted them to go with me. We left for the beach on June 10 and every day we did something different. They met my friends and my friends met them, everything seemed so perfect until June 17. That Saturday Night Zamiir texted Kayla and I and asked us if we could get him something to eat because his friend was drunk and he didn’t want to walk anywhere alone. Kayla and I never texted him back because we went to sleep really early that night, and later that day we got a phone call from our parents and they were crying.

That’s when the fireworks happened. Frankie busted him in the face. He was kicked out of school for a week.”
People see the world not as it is, but as they are. When I was a child, there was an old man who lived two doors down; my brother, Jack, and I only ever saw him when he had to put his bins out on a Monday night. Naturally we both made up plots, where he was always the villain, murdering young girls or keeping captives in his basement. One Sunday afternoon we had nothing to do and so we decided to investigate this matter further. We snuck out of our gate and walked down the street until we were outside his house.
Tolerance and Cowardice. Cassie Arambul. p.2 Throughout the entire story, Scout learns a lot about life and the scenarios she goes through all vary, but most of the time, she gets taught about Tolerance and has some encounters here and there about being a Coward. In the beginning of the story, Scout and Jem tend to tease and joke about Boo Radley, when one day, while Scout, Jem, and their friend Dill were outside, they joked around saying how none of them would dare go and touch the Radley Place, when Scout claims “I told Jem if he set fire to the Radley house I was going to go tell Atticus on him” (15). It seems as if that it doesn’t affect Scout directly, she thinks of their ideas of striking a match a bad idea.
The controversy that the movie faced was with a scene in the movie. It was when the main character (quarterback) when out and laid in the middle of the streets to prove that he could handle being under pressure. The first weekend the movie was out a high school student athlete wanted to prove to his mates that he can go out drinking, and still handle the pressure of lying in the middle of a busy street.

Throughout the story, Holden demonstrates his fear of growing up and becoming an adult. For example, when Holden is visiting with Phoebe, he confesses his future that he dreams of to her. He paints the image of this dream when he spills to her, “I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids and nobody’s around, nobody big, I mean-except me” (173). He then explains that his duty will be to catch any child who starts to go over the cliff.
I would tell him what was going on in school, how good I was doing in sports, or how bad of a play I made. He would always sit there and listen to everything I had to say. Telling my dad these stories meant the world to him; he would always tell me “I wish I could have been there for that”. After two and a half years in North Carolina, my mother decided to take an early retirement and move back to South Carolina. So now, we are back in the same town as my father and brother, as my parents promised the day they told us they were getting a divorce.
When I did go to school I would get suspended for fighting. All my friends were in gangs. We would hang out and smoke marijuana. One of my favorite memories was when my best friend slept over. The day before we seen a science magazine saying if someone’s hand was put in warm water while sleeping, they would urinate on themselves.
