“The boy was dead the moment Mayella opened her mouth and screamed. It’s not right, but sometimes we can’t change the minds of white men.” Tom Robinson was innocent and most people know it. Mayella Ewell was obviously coached to lie- she stopped answering questions at one point. Mr. Bob Ewell was a low man who no doubt abused his children. It was obvious that Mr. Ewell beat his daughter, not Tom Robinson.
Jack felt he needed to get revenge on his daughter‘s killer. He had a strong intuition that George Harvey, a strange man who lived near the Salmons, was the one who murdered his daughter. George was careful to cover up any evidence, so Jack had nothing but gut feeling to accuse George Harvey. Then the police department decided to put the case to rest after about six months, after all leads were exhausted and there were no more clues. Jack Salmon just wished he could have protected his daughter Susie from being murdered, but now all he could do was try to get his revenge.
U.S. Supreme Court 1 Frist St. NE Washington, DC 20543 In the case of Manny he is charged, and convicted of lethal assault. In 1999 at the age of 17 he and two other members, beat a six month pregnant woman, and four men were attacked. Due to his last serious offence at fourteen, of rape, he was judged by adult terms, and served nine years in prison. His shady past makes the majority believe his punishment is fair, and his notoriety has been justified. But I argue that his case is not as good as it seems, and Manny’s trial is in fact unfair.
The book To Kill a Mockingbird is directly comparable to the movie 12 Angry Men. Both Texts show the theme that true understanding takes time, study, and effort, but To Kill a Mockingbird shows what happens when people do not take the time to obtain a true understanding. In the book Tom Robinson is convicted for allegedly raping a teenage girl even though there was sensible doubt that Tom did not rape the girl and there was no concrete evidence. In the film a teenage male Puerto Rican was accused of murdering his father. All the evidence and the defendant weak testimony made him look so guiltily that 11 out of 12 jurors voted guilty in the preliminary vote.
Both of them believe that they are doing the right thing for two totally different reasons. Richard Strout kills Frank Fowler because he is in love with Mary Ann, Richard Strout’s ex-wife. Matt Fowler does not find it difficult to kill Richard Strout because it would give his wife peace; “It’s the trial. We can’t go through that, my wife and me…” (Dubus 111). Even though the major theme of this story is revenge, actually no murder can be justified under any circumstances.
It was not the black nurses fault that thy needed to wait for the doctor. What made me think he was actually a good guy instead of a prick was when the same women that he molested in the beginning of the movie was in a terrible car accident. He was the first cop there and did not realize that it was the same women. When they locked eyes the women started to scream because she would rather die then have him touch her again. He knew the right thing to do was to make her feel safe and get her out of the damaged car.
If Tracey did not have cerebral palsy and other disabilities would Tracy have undergone several surgeries and been in pain? It was because of her disabilities that Tracy was having surgeries and was in intense pain therefore her life was ended because of her disabilities. Robert unknowingly discriminated against his daughters health issues and the effect of that was him killing Tracy and claiming it was out of mercy. We cannot say or even think of what Robert Latimer has done is morally right or ok. If we do we are saying that anyone who murders someone else who is suffering or is in pain has right to do so.
One example of racist is when one of Zach’s friends threw a RC cola bottle at the white men and then they start a fight, even though it wasn’t Zach fault the police arrested him and put him in jail, that is one example of racism. Why didn’t they arrest also white men? They were at the same fight at were much older. So that’s why racism is so bad. Another example of racism in the book is when Rosaleen spit in one of white men’s foot, she got beaten up by the same men and then got arrested, that’s one example that even though Rosaleen was a women, she is not supposed to be treated like that, and got arrested for a small thing and nothing happened to the white men.
This is exactly what the movie, Mean Girls, does. It focuses on certain aspects of teens’ lives and overdramatizes them to add humor and to show the negative effects of certain behavior. Through the clicks, girl drama, raging parties, and many sex scenes, Mean Girls fits perfectly into the teen comedy mold. While Mean Girls addresses many cultural ideologies, central to the movie, one that is overplayed is the female stereotype. Mean Girls attempts to critique the typical female stereotype by using the plastics to over exaggerate the glamour and happiness that comes from being popular.
