While Bethany’s dad talked to Myrlie, Bethany overheard her father say “She doesn’t know anything about Elizabeth.” Bethany realized that her parents were abandoning her without an explanation, but she begrudgingly settled in. Myrlie showed Bethany the way to her room for her grandchildren that had never been used. Myrlie then took Bethany back downstairs, where she correctly guessed all of Bethany’s favorite foods. The next day, Bethany told Myrlie that she is a swimmer, so Myrlie took her to the YMCA to swim. While they were there, one of Myrlie’s friends noticed Bethany and mentioned that she thought she was Elizabeth.
In The Awakening by Kate Chopin, the main character Edna has a fascination with the sea that is never satiated. In the outset of her life she is mystified by it because she is unable to swim. To Edna, the sea represents the ultimate place for solitude and contemplation; the sea invites “the soul to wander for a spell of abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation.” (13). When she finally learns to swim she pushes herself to go farther and farther, where no woman has ever gone before. The progression of Edna skill in the water also closely correlates with her mental awakening.

Walgreens has Reach toothbrushes on sale for $.99 each. I had 2 coupons for 2/$2.00 and went into the West Burnside store to purchase them. The sales person told me I could not use the coupons that I brought, nor could I use the $1.00 off sticky coupon on the toothbrush as they were higher than the amount of the product. I told her I did not want any money back. She told me that the only way I could use the coupons was to NOT use my new Walgreens card and purchase the toothbrushes for $1.99.
“With the straps pushed off, there was nothing between the top of the suit and the top of her head except just her, this clean bare plane of the top of her chest down from the shoulder bones like a dented sheet of metal tilted in the light” (540). This is just one example of how Sammy is so caught up on physical attraction. Also, he was distracted from his work because the girl’s beauty caught him off guard. He had been standing there with his hand on top of the box of “HiHo crackers trying to remember if he had rang them up or not. I rang it up again and the customer starts giving me hell” (540) proving that his mind was elsewhere.
The setting of the story is connected to theme loss of innocence. By reading the beginning of the story, and its title "Sandcastles,” you think it’s going to be a nice relaxing day at the beach for the three boys. However, when the woman comes into play she changes the whole mood of the story from fun a day for the boys exploring to a darker plan of sadness and death.

Until they run into a woman on a remote beach who deceives them into helping her end her life.
Response Paper: A&P The short story, “A & P” by John Updike is a about a teenager named Sammy that works at a grocery store. In the story, three girls walk into the store in nothing but bathing suits and we follow Sammy’s reaction to the events that occur because of them. This story relates to my life because I also work at a grocery store. While I was reading this I felt like I could relate to many of the things that Sammy had to go through while he was working. The first thing that I related to from the story was the way that Sammy felt when he accidentally made a mistake with a customer’s order.
Tanner Whitaker Ms. Huber AP Lang/Comp 4 7 October 2014 Pearl Analysis section 2 Nathaniel Hawthorne paints a picture of hope for the future and change in Pearl’s character. One use of rhetoric is in his use of irony. Hawthorne uses irony when Pearl describes why the sun will not flee from her. She says, "I am but a child. It will not flee from me; for I wear nothing on my bosom yet!” This is ironic because in last chapter, Pearl made herself an A out of seaweed and placed it on her bosom, imitating Hester, yet Pearl seems as though she has forgotten that this has happened entirely.
The business claimed that the highly advertised delay to deposit the check was not a solicitation to make a loan. These payday lenders required the consumer to sign a statement saying that they had the funds in their account to cover the check, even though they were verbally told otherwise by the lender. The payday lenders claim that they are not making loans but that their customers are simply paying a high fee because of the convenience of cashing a check at their store. This was a feeble excuse with the presence of banks and ATMs throughout the area, why would someone pay a high fee to cash a check? Finally, the last method used to get through the legal requirement of the North Carolina Consumer Finance Act has been the claim that the payday lender is really an out of state bank and that they are exempt from North Carolina law.
The mall was created so people can get caught up in this world of shopping and they lose track of reality. For example, Guterson says, “There are, one notices, no clocks or windows, nothing to distract the shoppers psyche from the alternate reality the mall conjures”. This sort of set up will let the people lose track of time and they would not know how long they have shopped for. This all leads to, more money being spent on the products within
