"Towards the end of the story, Chief’s emotions change. He feels alone and angry so he lashes out on the Comanches on the bus ride and kills the Laughing Man off the story. "

Especially the second sentence. It sounds awkward and i need to rephrase it but i cant seem to think of anything, please help.
PS- actually i think the first sentence might be ok, unless you can find something better.

Greatfully recieved research. Thanks

I am reading a book and for class we have to take one of the characters, and give examples of your choice of character traits. I know this character doesn't like to take advantage of people but I just can't find the word for it. There are many but many don't seem to work.

Thank you

" kick in the ***" etc,. there are many words in which the word " ***" is used to denote the Butt/Posterior of a person.

The dictionary meaning of *** is very different. this colloqial usage of this word to denote one's behind, when did it start? In my opinion it's not more than 20 years. Please corroborate.
