A few other patients in the waiting room scoff at the notion he will ever be seen and they are right. Travis is told that his life-threatening situation “will be reviewed”. Before Travis has the chance to leave he goes into cardiac arrest in the lobby and then and only then is he admitted to the hospital for care. There wasn’t money or room for him, but the administrators could not let him die in the lobby. Even after the cardiac arrest and surgery, the administrators try to release Travis from the hospital.
John Q. used some violence on his hostages in the attempt to help his son get the heart transplant. (Letter to Birmingham; page 214, paragraph 9) Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. Martin Luther King Jr. would also see that it was unjust for the hospital to release Michael knowing that he would die without proper care. I truly believe that in this movie John Q’s actions were those of one whom was taught to protect their family no matter what. Morally, John’s actions are justifiable.
In the novel, Finney repeatedly refuses to listen to the facts of Gene breaking Finney’s leg because he “do[esn’t] care,” (Knowles 151). Because Finney wouldn’t listen, he ran out and ends up breaking his own leg, and since he is reluctant to face reality, he gets sent to the hospital. Likewise, during the movie, even when Neil is not allowed to participate in the play, because of his strong passion for acting he still goes on with his part, though it upsets his father deeply (Dead Poets’ Society). Because Neil acts in the play, it causes his father to be infuriated with him, and Finney’s father decides to ship him off to another school. Both examples show how each of the boys are opposed to face their own realities, and because of this they end up hurting themselves.
Reb Molinsky is shown to be almost a slave of his own religion, to the point that he is willing to sacrifice the integrity of his household just to serve his God. Like Sara, his will and faith in his goals are so strong that he completely turn his head away from his family’s needs and chooses to lock himself in a room filled with his books while everyone else starves. This is perceived as an inhumane action, but we need to consider that Sara’s actions are no better than her father’s. Once she is an accomplished woman she goes back to her parents, just to find her mother laying on her deathbed. In other words, she turned her head away her family in order to study and fulfill her goals.
The character Lisa was being beaten every day since her engage with Blair. He was very controlling; she had to call him for every step she takes and every move she make he had to be posted. Her mother represented a male aspect in Lisa’s life this is because she was also controlling of who she marry. When Lisa had too much of the brutal beating she took matters into her own hands.

The repossession man sacrifices a normal life and job to keep people from getting away with failing to pay for their artificial organ. The man sacrifices his safety by taking up this particular job. The people that he is repossessing from will, most likely, be afraid and angry at him. When people are afraid or angry, they are likely to try and defend themselves. For example, a woman beats the repossession man with her purse because he is repossessing an artificial liver from the man that she went home with (5).
Both will be somewhat detrimental to the case. Per Ms. Spy’s statement, she saw Sarah Ewing get murdered by her husband, although she has to wear glasses to see far distances, and she later in the statement admits that she only saw the silhouettes of two people that appeared to be wrestling. Mr. Nosey says in his statement that he heard arguing, and saw a man running down the stairs that looked like John Ewing. He was, however, recovering from knee surgery at the time, and had to maneuver on crutches from his master bedroom to his front door to see this man, and later in his statement admits that he could not see him well. In conclusion, John Ewing did not kill his wife.
