David Nickels: A Short Story

On the contrary, Jack heard one side of the story and punished Scout without thinking much at all. Another key example is when Mrs. Dubose confronts the kids about Atticus. She angrily states, “Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for” (135). In a state of complete rage, Jem destroys Mrs. Dubose’s camellias. When Atticus hears the full story (including Mrs. Dubose’s words), he responds with, “To do something like this to a sick old lady is inexcusable.

In one of the cages there was a 10-year-old boy crying. All what he was saying was complete non-sense, so my father took him with them. In 2nd January 1850 The brotherhood got mad at my dad because he brought someone to our hideout. Most of the members wanted to send him to an asylum, but my father protested and said to them that he will turn him into a warrior. He took him home with him, he spent hours trying to get his name, but the boy said he had no name.

Childhood The Grinch had a pretty bad childhood. First, when he landed in a basket his foster parents forgot him outside until the next morning. Next, he was bullied during elementary school for being different from everything. Lastly, people laughed at him when he shaved his beard to look nice. All in all the Grinch had a horrible childhood.

Later, Dahmer crushed the bones and scattered them across the yard (biography.com). These actions show that Dahmer may have had abandonment issues because he was left right after his graduation by his mother, father, and brother. Goodtherapy.org says that, “a child who was physically abandoned by a parent or caregiver may struggle with mood swings or anger throughout life.” Jeffrey Dahmer was left out a lot in his childhood so a lot of Dahmer’s built up rage was let out on Steven Hicks. Jeffrey wanted to be in control and brutally murdering Hicks gave him some of that control

One dreary waking on a September morning Michael Corvin began his routine as every other morning. During the morning time he: brushed his teeth, took a shower, combed his hair, and lastly ate his breakfast before he left home. His mother Nancy often worried about him because ever since his elementary years he’s been picked on and betrayed by his former “best friend”. The thought of seeing her son come home crying again due to bullying would break her heart, the more he cries in despair the more distraught she becomes. Michael didn’t think too much of it because the more that he thought about the more depressed he became while having such sinister thoughts; to prevent these heinous actions he simply clears his mind and moves on from the situation.

His wife died before the book of mysterious circumstances we do not know of. He does not have a job and the only time he gets one he only has it for a week and gets fired for “laziness”.

Thanks to Chris Walton I acted out of desperation and used my dad, Martin’s, old barber’s scissors to cut my hair which I did just so that I could try to fit in and not get bullied. After that, my dad having enough of this, goes to the school and talks to Chris. My dad started asking Chris “what has my son done to you Chris, your dad is a police officer and you are here physically assaulting my son Dylan?” Of course Chris tried to defend himself but there was no defending what he did. The next day, the principal Deborah Henwood made the awful mistake of sitting Chris and I in a room together and without adult supervision. Again as expected, Chris was trying to emotionally cut me in half but I wasn’t up for it.
