Nothing could ever make up for all the bad things Sonny does but at least he does somewhat realize the bad things he does. If he did not realize his bad deeds, he wouldn’t be telling Cologero not to be like him. I know that Sonny has trust issues but that does not affect him being a good person or not. Sonny’s having trust issues is just his way of trying to protect himself from getting taken advantage of, and keep control. The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again.
He is the ruler of a state and is trying to protect his state and his people. By doing what he did he may have struck fear in the eyes of other potential enemies. Also, Creon did not see the point of burying not only his enemies but a traitor to his state. He thought that Polyneices did not deserve a burial because of what he did. While I can understand this it is still wrong.
July 19: Gantos asked Hamilton what might happen to them if they got caught. “My fear amused him…Hamilton had read my mind―I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just afraid of punishment” (84-85). | The author utilizes irony to show how Jack is able to ignore the fact that what he is doing will end badly. Jack does not feel that smuggling drugs into New York is wrong, he just fears what would come if he was caught.
What Proctor means by this that no man would blacken his own name without having a reason for doing so. He would not say that he has committed a sin if it was not unfortunately true. Proctor obviously knows that his wife is innocent and that he is the one that has sinned. He is sacrificing his name and life for the innocence of his wife. He wants to save his wife, but he also does not want his named
The FBI and The Bureau of Tobacco and Fire Arms failed to recognize the nature of millenarian beliefs because David Koresh viewed his delusions as reality of life. I think that the government didn’t think the beliefs are real because the beliefs were bizarre. Also, another reason the government didn’t take the Davidians serious because they were in cult. The ATF contributed that this event was a lot of troubles that caused a lot of people to die for a good purpose. Likewise in the First Amendment people want the government to take religious beliefs very serious in order to not cause another epidemic from happening
The President went forward to accuse the Democrats for conspiring to remove him from office because he had refused to boost their high support prices. Consequently, he admitted for not supervising his campaign staff adequately thereby leading to the Watergate scandal. During the televised speech, the President was noted to be nervous and was even misspelling some of his words but he still managed to control himself and plead his
He was wrongfully convicted by an all-white jury, which at that time, racism was the norm. The jury would never accept a black man’s word over a white women’s, in spite of the proof. One reason you could tell that Tom Robinson did not commit rape was because he was physically incapable because of his broken arm. Mayella and her father were clearly lying about the rape, but Tom was not released.
I was angry because of Creon’s ignorance. I felt pity because his punishment was too severe. I didn’t feel fear, but most people would. This tragedy could have been prevented if Creon became aware of his actions quicker. He was ignoring his problem with the burial of Polyneices.
Society tends to trust scientists because they are the ones who usually want to better mankind, but if scientists conducted their experiments the way Milgrim did, people would not trust them, they would not want to be a part of them and it would break the general belief when testing on an actual person to not be treated as a subject but as a human being. We want scientists to actually care about our safety and wellbeing during their experiments. Clearly Milgrim did not, “The laughter seemed entirely out of place, even bizarre. Full blown uncontrollable seizures were observed for 3 subjects. On one occasion we observed a seizure so violently convulsive that it was necessary to call a halt to the experiment…” (375) It seems like a scientist who cared about the well-being of these people would actually call a stop before they started violently having a seizure, but to Milgrim it was as if he was testing his experiment on
6). Aristotle also conveys that he believes the virtuous person is more honorable because “he is able to avoid bodily pleasures, but not all pleasures, since there are pleasures of the temperate [virtuous] person too” (NE, VII, ch.12, sec. 7). While the continent person does eventually chose the right action it is more of a deliberation from him to come to a choice because he is aware of the wrong decision as well. The virtuous person does not at all go through this deliberation process because he is not aware of the wrong decision.
