There are a couple of sentences.First, .."<em>No ,you didn´t expect him to get  kiiled</em>."<em>You just expected him to kill some one else.." </em>The message is about deathe and the lady talks as if referring to a place that needed cleaning.

Second,.<em>."they weren´t there because they had any say about it.."</em>Again there is sarcasm in the idea that , though human beings, theyare in such a low position that they do not even deserve to utter a word.

Thirdly, .. <em>you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable</em> <em>mothers.."</em>The sentence contains sarcasm as it expresses an idea of doing away with what is useless.

Last, ...What you got that black.."She means that there is no reason to be mourning by wearing black clothes, a shawl.She is sarcastic because she is thankful for a deat<em>."You thought it would be all right..".." to kill the sons of those </em>h to prevent other deaths.

I believe the sentences that contain sarcasm are, "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't living' with their blood on his hands!"

The bill of rights is structured as a list of rights guaranteed to the people of America. This structure is effective because it keeps the focus very clearly on the rights it lays out. Hope this helps ;-)

Conclusion for a bullying essay<br> ( 7 lines )
NeTakaya

Answer:

Bullying seems to be a growing problem in schools. The increased use of cell phones and social media only intensifies the problem. Technology has made it easier for students to become bullies. When I use to think of bullying I imagined physically bigger kids picking on smaller ones, someone steeling another person’s lunch money, or putting a kid in the trash can or locker.  Today, these are not the bullying scenes that I see. Exclusion is something I have seen more of recently in schools. In addition, I think that verbal bullying is growing in popularity more than physical bullying. I believe the best way to prevent bullying is to create an atmosphere at school and in the classroom that has a family feel. If everyone feels welcomed and loved, students will be more comfortable around all students. Bullying a can be triggered by age, social class, how one dresses, and many other reasons. Bullying is often not reported and I think that students should know the different between tattling and reporting so they are not afraid to get help for themselves or for others. Looking back at my time as a student through K-12 I can remember a few different scenarios when bullying took place. One case involved a special needs student who was in my class from kindergarten through senior year.
