said that it was not true. However, Sidopekso said that he would kill her.
He brought her to the river bank. Before he kill her and threw her into the river,
she said that her innocence would be proven After Sidopekso killed her, he
threw her dead body into the dirty river.

16. High School and College
Even though high school and college are both places of learning, they differ in at
least three ways. The first difference between high school and college is their social
atmospheres. In high school the building is usually smaller, so most students know
each other. In addition, students in high school have the same six-hour 7:40 to 2:30
day, which helps them to know one another better. At college people are constantly
coming and going, rarely seeing the same person twice in one day. The second
difference between high school and college is their policies about homework. In
high school, homework is usually. Knowing they have to submit assignments in
algebra or history makes students keep up with these subjects. In college most
homework consists of just studying; very little of it is written and turned in. If
students do their homework, it is to their advantage; if they do not, the teachers
will not force them to. The student is only wasting his own money if he neglects his
course work. The third and last difference between high school and college is their
attendance policies. In high school, students must attend class or their parents will
be called. In college, students may skip classes if they choose and refer to the
syllabus to get missed assignments or tests. It is the student’s responsibility to make
work up. In spite of these differences between high school and college, they both
serve the same purpose — to prepare an individual for the real world.
