The $40,000 was conveniently left in her care to be banked, her sister is away from home for the weekend, she is already upset, and disturbed that her lover’s dismal financial state has kept him from being able to openly declare their relationship. (Hitchcock, 1960) From the start, Marian knows what she has done is wrong and during her drive towards Sam and freedom she hears voices in her head admonishing her for her actions. Marian is the girl-next-door type and these actions have taken her far off course. (Thomson, 2009 p 16) When she pulls over to sleep, that is her only escape from the reality of what she has done. It must not be a very restful sleep, as she is found at the beginning of the “suspicious officer” scene to be slumped down across the front seat of her car.
Dumb Cheerleaders One may say, “She’s not smart she’s a cheerleader.” Ninety nine percent of the time, I agree with that stereotype. Spending ten years of life doing something you hate gets old fast, almost as fast as when Mary Poppins says “Supercalafragalisticexpaladocious,” thankfully it ended this year. Some may call it a sport while others call it a joke, I always took it as a joke and believe it’s a joke. There was a reason to why I was forced to do it, my parental figures, mostly just my mom. I was very talented though, which made it even worse.

I know that was so hard for you to see since you never had a good group of friends, but I’m here now. I love you so much and I hate to see you this stressed about this person that has been manipulating you for years. It’s awful and disgusting, and I would beat her up myself if you’d let me.” My best friend said smiling. We just laughed about it, because it was so tempting to let my best friend do it, but I needed to do this myself and let it out. “I’ll do it tomorrow, it’ll be Friday and she’ll have to time to think about the way she’s been behaving and realize how horrible she is.” We both went home for the day and waited for the next day to come.
Although I have probably been raised with more of a negative reinforcement, I tend to use positive reinforcement. Another example is, my sister doesn’t like to go to school so she skips a lot…well to get her to go and get excited about it, whenever she does go I fist pump her. She smiles really big and says thanks. This week she has not missed one day. I think the best example of positive reinforcement that I have used was when I was trying to get my little cousin to grow up and stop acting like a baby.
Lee lived in Alabama as a child in a town called Monroeville, her father was also a lawyer with this in mind I helps the reader to view the novel as realistic. Throughout the prose Lee presents that Jem’s moods and emotions change and fluctuate “Jem stayed moody and silent for a week.. So I left Jem alone and tried not to bother him.” This quotation presents Jem as temperamental.
