Looking For Alibrandi help? (1 Viewer)

[-bonfire]

All I need is the quote of Carly Bishop which leads Josie into breaking her nose, I don't study Std Eng so I don't have any work on it, and it's for Society & Culture too..
I think it's in Chapter 8 =)

'The night-club was the pits,' I heard her say.
'How come?' Bettina Saunders asked.
'They were all wogs. They seem to be everywhere,' she snickered.
'I beg your pardon, Carly?' I asked, sick of her daily racist remarks.
She looked at me slightly embarrassed, scooping her fringe back between her fingers.
'Oh, not you, Josie. I didn't mean you. You're not a wog.'
'Well, what did you mean?'
'I mean... just those other people. But you're different.'
'No, I'm not. How am I different? Do I look different to them?'
'Well, no... but I know you're different.'
Her friends began to look uncomfortable and resentful.
'I'm just the same as them and I'd appreciate you not going on about wogs every day. It offends me.'
'Well, I'm sorry,' she said, sounding anything but.
'No, you're not. You're just sorry that I heard you and that you're forced to say you're sorry.'
'Well, you shouldn't be listening to my conversation anyway. This is a free country. I have the right to say whatever I want.'
'And so do I, you racist pig.'
'How dare you, you wog,' she said standing up.
'But I thought you said I wasn't one.'
'And you're more than a wog, if you know what I mean.'
I had a very strong feeling that she meant my illegitimacy. Who knows what possessed me, but having that science book in my hand propelled me to immediate action. So I hit her with it.

That's the section I found what you wanted in my book, I copied a pretty large section out because I wasn't too sure what part you wanted exactly. But that's the whole conversation before Josie hits Carly, then straight after that she goes to the principal's office and all.

Hope it helps!
