She just shoved in her clothes, her jewellery, her perfumes” (page 281) shows her to be a vain, desperate creature who strives to give her life some purpose but is looking in all the wrong places. The passage “She joined the CWA, mixed with Corrigan’s leading ladies, helped cater for events and joined all the amateur pleared-skirt sporting fraternities and committees” (page 97) emphasises her desire to be a well-thought of and active member of the community. However her materialistic values are shown to be void and meaningless: “... she dragged that empty suitcase to her vanity table. She stole it from me, but she had nothing precious of her own to pack in it. She just shoved in her clothes, her jewellery, her perfumes” (page 281) shows her to be a vain, desperate creature who strives to give her life some purpose but is looking in all the wrong places.
Like David, she understands that the community they live in, Waknuk, is not safe for them and realizes early that they need to escape. Also, she is able to think quickly on her feet in times of danger and extreme pressure, for example when Petra’s horse was attacked. Along with this intelligence, she also demonstrates patience. Like when Petra has difficulty controlling her telepathy powers and it is very overwhelming, Rosalind acts very motherly and patient and tries to help her understand her gifts. Also, when the search for their kind began, she was very patient with David and Petra because they were very unprepared.
The documentary Who Killed Vincent Chin? deals with the murder of an immigrant worker, Vincent Chin, whose death in Detroit raised commotion about the Justice System. The filmmakers are trying to persuade the viewer that not only was Vincent Chin wrongfully murdered, but that his murderers did not have to pay the price for their crime. Through a series of interviews, the filmmakers do bring light to the fact that Chin's murderers were not brought to justice. When Ronald Ebens is being interviewed the filmmakers catch him off guard in his words by him first proclaiming that he is not racist in any way.
Mattie is very nervous by her actions, and does not want Zeena to find out. Ethan tells her they will go to town and get glue to fix it. Even when they go to town they get looks from people and people talk behind their back as if they know something is going on
This in our eyes is a morbid and gruesome way to be brought down, and the thought that it was almost voluntary and the whole town participates women, men, and children is more then most can stomach. In our minds he who is with out sin shall cast the first stone. Jackson was making a point to Americans through The Lottery that societies are not all as innocent as they believe themselves to be, thus no stone should ever be cast. She illuminated this point through the townspeople's belief that there is no inherent evil in the annual stoning of an innocent victim, because they themselves are without sin. The reader is, nevertheless, incensed by such an act.
Simpson’s murder trial in 1995… Not guilty and cleared of all charges! Many adults agree that the evidence pointed to Simpson, but how is it that he escaped from the legal system? Was it the fantastic lawyers, a fluke of luck, or was he genuinely innocent? In order to answer that question, we must compare this case to other cases similar to this that happened. The death of Caylee Anthony comes to mind.
Royal Murder “Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts. “-E. B. White. This quote fits the story ‘On the Sidewalk, Bleeding’ well because the man who murdered Andy simply because of the coat he wore had no idea who he was.
In the infamous photos taken at Abu Ghraib the soldiers can be seen smiling casually or laughing. Seeming to have no understanding of what the men they are abusing are going through. The militaries response was that they were “a few bad apples”. Zimbardo himself became interested thirty years later in his original concept. He not only voiced his opinion that it was not the specific soldiers personalities that caused these crimes but served on the defense team.
He makes friends with George quite quickly and they talk about Lennie in a pitiful but admiring way (pitiful about his lack in intelligence but they admire him for his physical strength). Carlson abuses his power of having a gun by running for it every time he has an excuse to use it. When the men mention the health of Candy’s dog and suggests shooting it to put it out of its misery Carlson is the one who gets his gun and shoots the dog. When Lennie is suspected of killing Curley’s wife, Carlson runs for his gun but George has already got to Carlson’s gun and stolen it. I think Carlson is very abusive of his power in how he does this.
An example of this is when he shot Candy’s dog and he doesn’t apologise to Candy, but instead he cleans his gun in full view of everyone. This demonstrates that Carlson doesn’t feel sorry at all for shooting Candy’s dog and instead feels that Candy should apologise to him for having the dog for so long, and making him put up with the smell of the dog. However, some people might argue that Carlson is a sensitive and caring individual because before Carlson shot Candy’s dog he said “This ol’ dog suffers hisself all the time.” because “He’s all stiff with rheumatism.” This could suggest that Carlson is sensitive and caring because he wants the dog to be put out of its misery and he thinks that nobody should be made to suffer, not even a dog and he even says “I wisht somebody shoot me if I got an’ a cripple.”, which suggests that he wouldn’t want to be in pain and nobody else would either. Although I disagree with this because I think that Carlson is just trying to find another excuse for killing the dog. I think this because all the other reasons that Carlson has suggested have been reasons that suggest that he doens’t really care how the dog feels and he just cares about himself and his own wellbeing.
