... was more willing to accept progressive reforms than it had been earlier. After the quick victory in the Spanish-American War, there was a new feeling of confidence in the nation's future.

Rocks were thrown by some of the male students but is this just cause for murder? Were the guards lives in danger? The protest they [guards] were sent to end would result in others across the country. Why is murder okay until the common man commits it. Does the state have to much power? The students were tense, yet peaceful. Animosity was strong between the two sides, the students felt the soldiers were arrogant abusers of power. Shots were fired; 67 total in a m ...

However, he did report being very shy and depressed because he never felt comfortable with his homosexuality. His childhood life may have been full of the torture that children threw at him for being the different person he was. He was able to attend college.

Later she tells Mickey to kill her mom as well because her mom never helped her when she was getting abused by her father.
