.... on at
school. Her grandmother told her to be a warrior and not to cry, because
warriors don’t cry.
In the South, people were not treated equally in the 1950s. Jim
Crow laws stated that people were “separate but equal”, but that was not
the case. Finally the government decided that separate was not equal. So
they decided to integrate one of the best schools in the country. That
school happened to be in Little Rock, Arkansas where Melba Pattillo Beals
lived. There, whites hated blacks and blacks hated whites. There were
special restroom, restaurants, and schools for colored and whites. In

.... because the size of the fish. He thought about
increasing the tension so it would hurt the fish and it would jump out.
But the line had been taut up to the very edge of the breaking point.
Then with his right hand he felt the difference in the pull of the line
before he saw the slant change in the water. The fish started to come up.
The line rose slowly and steadily and then the surface of the ocean bulged
ahead of the boat and the fish came out. He was bright in the sun and his
head and back were dark purple and in the sun the stripes on his sides
showed wide and a light lavender. His sword was as long as a baseball bat.

Ordinary People: Dysfunctional Family
.... furthermore, a perfectionist. "Everything had to be perfect,
never mind the impossible hardship it worked on her, on them all." Conrad
is not unlike his mother. He is an overachiever, an "A" student, on the
swim team and a list-maker. His father tells the psychiatrist, "I see her
not being able to forgive him. For surviving, maybe. No, that's not it, for
being too much like her"(147). In some cases weak people tend on to forget
what’s real and what’s not, “Depending upon reality one must face, one may
prefer to opt for illusion”(93). Perhaps Beth set limits to what she is

anyone in a position to communicate this information.
Although I've been interviewed about the subject on many local and
regional radio and TV talk shows, large-scale mass communication appears to
be blocked, since it could result in suspicion or investigation of the very
media presenting it or the sponsors that support the media. Some government
