Nicholas was a wealthy Christian priest and later bishop, who traveled the country helping people, giving gifts of money and other presents. He did not like to be seen when he gave away presents, so the children of the day were told to go to sleep quickly or he would not come. Nothing has changed, and Santa Claus will not arrive this Christmas unless the children go to sleep early. The author points out that Clement C. Moore wasn't writing for publication, but to delight his own six children. He refused to have the poem published despite its enthusiastic reception by everyone who read it.
Scout has never seen snow before, and when she does, she is afraid. Many six-year-olds see something for the first time and are immediately scared of it. Another example of Scout’s immaturity happens on the first day of school when Scout has Walter Cunningham over for lunch.

The conspiracy theories behind Marilyn's demise are many. No-one really knows the full truth simply because those directly involved won't talk about it (and anyway most have died by now). It is definitely a fact that there were people present in Marilyn's house on the day and morning of her death. On Saturday morning August 4, 1962, Marilyn was up early for breakfast(grapefruit) having not slept well for most of the night.

Growing up in my life has never been easy, we CONSTANTLY run out of Nutella, my curfew is only 8:30pm On school nights, and I have to take the trash out EVERY NIGHT. With that in mind, I thought swapping music online would give other repressed children an opportunity to see some positivity In their cruel lives.

I could push it to the back of my mind like a box of old toys in the farthest point of the crawl space but it was always there. It wasn’t until my sister’s wedding that our paths crossed again.
