Improved Essays
At first, she tried to get the attention of anyone who would stop and look at her. Unfortunately, these were the same people who worked in the carnival. They seemed unimpressed and unmoved by her pleas. Perhaps they all knew already what went on in that tent, or maybe they just didn’t care that some strange girl was begging for help. And if she thought she might get help from one of the attendees, she was wrong.
Reaching out, Ruby Ann stopped a young couple. They looked a little embarrassed to be there, like kids sneaking around, but at the same time it was clear they were having fun.

    The author of Bleachers, John Grisham, tries to create a comparison between Cameron, the Lady, and Screamer, the Tramp, only exploring certain characteristics of each woman. Implied by her lovely nickname, Screamer was Neely’s “hot to trot” girlfriend, and through her promiscuity she is interpreted as a bitter, sad woman in her older years (Grisham 97).

Further, in the chapter, the events involving Mrs. Breedlove and Polly add to a point I made in class during the discussion…
