Stand By Me: Loyal Friendships And Families
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 670.... the family situations bring Gordie and Chris closer together. At most times, Chris is Gordie’s father figure, only because Gordie’s true father treats him as if he is nothing. Gordie’s father makes him feel like he should have been the one to die, instead of his brother, Dennis. At the times when Gordie needed somebody the most, Chris was there to comfort him and talk to him. This was first significantly shown when Ace and his friend had taken Dennis’s hat.

Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 850.... and cruelly slaves (she) were treated. People saw the slaves as
scapegoats and were blamed for everything. She gives many examples of situations
in which someone (one of the masters or mistresses) wasn't happy with something

down the her throat until she chokes. I feel that this is very offensive
treatment because that is not a justified re .....

Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 351.... Another example and proof of irrelevance to survival was
Ted Lavenders six or seven ounces of dope and nine extra M-79 Grenades which he
was carrying when he was shot in the head. Extras such as these really did
nothing more than give the men a false sense of security, which was probably
necessary to cope with their surroundings.
Last but certainly not least they carried with them love, guilt,
memories, and fear of death. Lieutenant cross, for example carried love, guilt,
and even though he tried never to show it, fear. Tim O'Brien shows us this in
the passage s .....
