It was the first morning of high school. She, whose name I do not know yet, was very nervous about school. She had new notebooks, a new skirt, that she hated, and a stomachache. She is waiting for the bus to pick her up. She did not know where to sit when the bus had arrived. She thought if she sat in the front, it would make her look like a little kid. If she had sat in the middle, a stranger could possible sit next to her.
As she go on the bus she just sat somewhere. She was sitting all by herself. She was worried someone would sit next to her. On the bus someone was wearing too much cologne. She tried to open the window but the little latches wouldn’t move. She called herself an outcast. She said there was no point to looking for her ex-friends. There was no point for looking because they parted their

Her English teacher takes twenty minutes taking attendance because she does not look up at them. Her teacher does not talk directly to them meaning she does not face them when she teaches. She calls her “Hairwomen” cause that is all she sees is her hair. Her teacher makes them write in their journals and she promises not to read them. Because of that she writes about how weird she is.
Her social studies teacher is Mr. Neck. Neck told her that he has his eyes on her. She really believes that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. She did not bring a lunch today because she did not know what the acceptable fashion will be. Whether it be a brown paper bag or a terminal geek gear.
This kind of reminds me of my eighth grade English teach. She would take forever to take role because she would lose track or get distracted by the other students. She would always get distracted. Once she went on and on about a piece of gum advertisement for the whole class period. It had no relation to what we were doing at all. It makes me wonder if her teacher is gonna do something of the same

Yes, I am a hairstylist and I work at a chain salon. No, it 's not "hard labor" and yes, there are much tougher jobs out there. But if you 've never worked in a hair salon, then you don 't understand half of it. Everyday I am talked down to and treated badly by some jackass who thinks they 're better than me because I "just do hair".
From the day she was born, she was seen as an outcast and a burden by her siblings. “I believe I came not only an unexpected, but an unwelcome guest into the family… so that I was rather regarded as an impertinent intruder” (Charke 11). This immediate disapproval from those closest to her may have had a major impact on her self-image and confidence later in her life. For example, in the letter to herself at the beginning of the story, she says that she has never seen herself as a friend, and speaks of herself in a very
In the short story “Gryphon”, by Charles Baxter, Ms. Ferenczi’s presence in the classroom is beneficial to the students of Five Oaks since she has led the students to be disciplined, discuss amongst each other, and question/research information. To start things off, Ms. Ferenczi has taught the kids to become disciplined in class. In the beginning in the story, the class mocks and picks on Mr. Hibler behind his back, while he is sick. Later on in the story, Ms. Ferenczi’s is introduced to the classroom, and nobody tries to joke around or pick on her. For example, “There was not a sound in the classroom, except for Miss Ferenczi’s voice…
“They surged about her, caught her up & bore her, protesting, and then pleading… back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed & locked the door & saw it tremble from her beating & throwing herself against it… Then smiling they turned and went out & back down the tunnel, just as the teacher arrived.” (pg. 3) They don’t care what she says & they do it behind the teachers back. Therefore, she can’t do anything about it because she doesn’t know about it. The suspense at this point is tremendous.
At first the people at her new school think that she is a teachers pet because she won't stop raising her hand in class. Which she then got beat up after school. She tried again at Mary S. Black Elementary but the teacher didn't like her so that didn't turn out very well either. When she went to Welch Elementary she was put into special classes. People then started to whisper about the Walls kids all day.
