Answer: Is there a story or something?
Answer:
Joyous
Explanation:
Obviously if school was canceled, the students would be joyous.
They might be thankful, yes, but will most likely have more joy than gratitude because they are high schoolers who are probably not as focused on showing gratitude, but more on the fact that there is no school.
They are probably not really "active," which makes it sound like they are running laps because they are so happy.
And if they are erupting, that would make it sound like they are mad, like they are erupting with anger.
So joyous makes the most since.
believing that people are motivated by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity.
The narrator from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", by deciding to plea "not guilty due to insanity", is doing something many people charged with murder do: blaming their own acts on a certain "demonic" mindset, which can be caused by evil spirits or even drugs (legal or illegal). The narrator has a history of alcohol abuse, which, according to his own testimony throughout the short story, led him to cut one of his cat's eyes out of its socket. He'd also been violent to his wife, not only verbally, and said he'd committed violent acts precisely because of their malignant essence. This man is no good. Therefore, there's no point in validating his plea of "not guilty due to insanity" and he should indeed be charged with murder. After all, he killed his wife with the strike of an axe upon her head, just because she wanted to stop him from killing their cat. As the narrator admits, he was then possessed by unstoppable anger, and that's not a reason for claiming to have done anything due to insanity at all.
