During the interview Brittany Maynard’s demeanor is very humbleness. Watching the video, Brittany does a good explanation of her life behind the scenes. When people criticize her for taking her own life because she doesn’t look terminal ill. She stated “people say you don’t look as sick as you are.” People underestimate how detrimental cancer can be, how hard seizures can be to handle, and how it can affect your friends and family. Maynard stated in the video, “I remember looking at my husbands face at one point and thinking this is my husband but I can’t say his name.” She is still a positivist is a way. Saying, “If my

Her will to write her family letters depicts her acceptance towards death and her love she feels towards her family. Before she dies, she is given the opportunity to talk to her brother, Gerry. Both Gerry and Marilyn feel venerable to her death because they don’t have the power to alter the law of science.
The captain can use a fast acting extinguisher that would result in blast of steam putting out fire, but this will kill the men trapped in engineering. What should he do? What would a telegocial thinker do? How would a deontological thinker respond? The captain should use the extinguisher which will killed the trapped men because if he doesn’t then the whole crew will die but if he
After reading over Sophocles’ Antigone, I would say that it is Antigone’s tragedy. When I say tragedy I mean it is a situation that starts with difficult making decisions and ends with suffering and pain. That being said, I would say that it isn’t only Antigone’s tragedy, but Creon’s as well. Antigone’s tragedy lead her uncle to face a difficult decision. He is stuck between a rock and a hard place, either to uphold the law by killing one of his own family, or punish Antigone less severely to show that he isn’t serious about death being a punishment and apart of his law.

As a result of his remorse, Cross decides to remove all distractions he possibly can and “[burns] Martha’s letters [followed by] the two photographs” (O’Brien 23) of her. It is Lavender’s unexpected death that helps Lieutenant Cross recognize his responsibility to his men who are counting on him to direct them around the perils of Vietnam. When he is contemplating how to alter his tactics of leadership for the better, he reminds “himself that his obligation [is] not to be loved but to lead]” (O’Brien 26). By doing this, Lieutenant Cross demonstrates that he has the ability to learn from his past mistakes and improve his accountability to lead his men to

The feel guilty for the deaths of men of the Vietnamese and for their own inadequacies. Their reasons for this guilt can be as valid as being the one who accidentally drew mortar fire down on the platoon or as irrational as cracking jokes about the dead. When they look for the people to
If Rainsford had chance to leave and didn’t because he wanted to kill the man who hunted him do you think that is wrong. I do. I believe he was wrong because he turned into another Zaroff.
