Anyways, even Tom knew that he would be guilty, for example, in chapter 19 it says "'Mr. Finch, if you was a nigger like me, you'd be scared, too'"(104).This just tells me that Tom knows what will come of him, which is being ruled guilty of raping Mayella Ewell. Also, even Mayella knew that she was guilty, either that or she is just flat out crazy. In the movie, she is constantly, screaming things out in the court that doesn't make sense and she keeps on contradicting
If you make a move, they’ll have to change your nickname from Assef ‘the Ear Eater’ to ‘One-Eyed Assef,’ because I have this rock pointed at your left eye” In the book Amir starts to do strange things to Hassan, getting him in trouble and accusing him of crime, because Amir can still not face the fact that he was a coward that he had not done anything when Hassan was raped except stand by and watch, eventually Hassan is killed and Amir winds up with Hassan son Sohrab.

Her belief becomes real in the next few minutes when two other black men carjack them. Another example from the movie is Cultural based theories of prejudice. The character Farhad believes that since he is Persian he is being persecuted against and cheated, because he believes that everyone who is middle-eastern is not welcome in America especially after the events of 9/11. When he was in the gun shop, and the owner of the gun shop was rude to him, he becomes angry and makes a scene, based on the listed beliefs and fears that he has. Another example is when Farhad calls for a locksmith to fix his shop door.
He shows that he does not have moderation and self-control by the tyrannical ruling of his people as well as abusing an age old birthright that robs the bridegroom of his bride on their wedding night (Mason 15). He further shows his lack of self-control and disregard for others by deciding to kill Humbaba, who he describes as “the Evil One” declaring “we must prove ourselves more powerful than he” (Mason 27). This decision proves fatal for Enkidu and Gilgamesh not wanting to accept the death of his friend, tries to search out the one who the thinks can give him the answer to bring Enkidu back. So consumed in his grief, Gilgamesh cannot control himself and destroys the Sacred Stones that would gives him access to the very person he is searching for (Mason 67). Gilgamesh does eventually learn moderation and self restraint, “Gilgamesh said nothing more to force his sorrow on another” (Mason 92).
(1. 260-267) This is saying that if Odysseus were there at the time he would have kicked all of the suitors out of his house. At first Telemachus blames the suitor’s presence on the fact that his dad is fighting the war instead of taking action himself and getting rid of the suitors. The suitors are portrayed as bad people in the Odyssey because even though their hosts are following the rules Xenia the suitors just keep taking and taking from them. We also know that Penelope doesn’t want the suitor in the house any more that Telemachus does because she stalled them for six years when she wove and unwove the quilt.
I could not keep my eyes that book the suspense was killing me. “The Gun” was about this kid name Tyray that was known at his school as the biggest bully in Bluford High. Until this kid name Darrell, two times smaller than him, beat him in front of the whole school and then his reputation was ruined. So desperate to settle the score and regain his respect, Tyray decided to get a gun to get his revenge because his hand was too broken to fight him again. This book was so interesting to me because it is a scenario that can occur in
When the story begins “the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron’s fourteen-year old son, Harrison, away” (Vonnegut 38) because he showed un-equality. To be certain that everyone was equal, the H-G men took Harrison away. The H-G men separated Bergeron’s family just to keep everyone equal. When Harrison escapes prison and displays his abilities, “Diana Moon-Glampers, a handicapper general, came into the studio with a double barreled ten-gauge shot gun… fired twice, and the emperor and empress were dead before they hit the floor” (Vonnegut 44). The Handicapper General caused fear in the audience by killing both the emperor and his empress was going to far for the simple reason to cause a cogent feeling in the crowd.
In the movie Hera is Hercules is mother, which is not necessarily true, because in the myth Hercules mother is Alcmena. In the book it states “But in reality he was the son of Zeus, who had visited Amphitryon’s wife Alcmena in the shape of her husband when the general was away fighting” “Hera, as always was furiously jealous and she was determined to kill Hercules.” (Hamilton) I think this was an extremely important aspect that they left out of the movie because Hera is evil and in in the movie is portrayed as loving and gt pleasant. Another difference that’s not mentioned is that Hercules quote “killed his family” (Hamilton), this was caused because Hera who never forgot a wrong, sent madness upon him which resulted in him killing his wife Megara and his three sons. He then felt so guilty that he thought his life was not worth living and almost took his own life. Still feeling terribly guilty Hercules searched for forgiveness.
Johnny Hernandez Mrs. James 2 February 2015 Juveniles as Adults I believe that juveniles should be tried as adults because they are old enough to know what they are doing, the juvenile system fails, and teen’s parents/childhood. The reason I think this is because I read a story about a kid named Greg Ousley who murdered his parents because he felt like he wasn’t loved enough, he felt like all he did was embarrassed his parents. One day after school he was depressed, his dad didn’t seem to care as much nor did his mother. So he said, “He has to kill them”, so later that night he shots his parents with a 12-guage shotgun in the head. Then tries to play it off as if someone came to his house, murdered his parents.
