A solider to emulate “True heroism is remarkably sober, very un-dramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost- Arthur Ashe”. It takes a strong and dedicated person to push through the names, the criticism and become a success. No one sets out to be a hero or become someone’s inspiration, but you as the person looking up to them, look past the fame and the media to what is inside. No one else may see it but you know that is there, greater than anything.
Taylor is a man with seemingly unlimited power to control the very minds of people. In addition to being a story of good v. evil, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a David and Goliath story. In addition to being a good man, Jeff Smith is also a man with very little money and power. Jeff doesn't have the resources to fight Taylor. But he knows that he is right, and that's all he needs to keep on fighting.
Gabor states “No drugs, in itself, are addictive.” This means that it is not the drug that causes the addiction, it is why the people are doing the drugs in the first place, and the way it makes them feel. If people grow up in an abusive household and have never experienced a “warm, soft hug”(305), they turn to drugs because it will give them that feeling. Although some may agree with Mate’s argument, the ways in which he gives his evidence and examples lacks all the necessary information needed in order to make a decision on whether you agree or disagree with his argument. In paragraph four Mate uses a scientific example saying, “Only about 8 per cent to 15 per cent of people who try, say alcohol or marijuana, go on to addictive use.” (305) While this statistic may be true, it is difficult to report on how many of those people of that eight to fifteen per cent are using it because they simply have an addictive personality. For Mate to say that all addictive drug use is caused from neglect issues is not accurate because he does not account for the people who do drugs because they want to.
Though this was done for a purpose it does not work well on all levels. This technique he uses, no matter how it was to come across, seems to be a way to dumb things down. Arnason story is simple and very easy to follow. There is no need for the use of interruption to explain to us what is happening. Arnason tells us that we are supposed to ask ourselves what the ring means; when he tells us that he slipped in details and clues to show us what is called foreshadowing.
Also, if the husband wasn’t using substances every night, he would realize that his underlying problems are not with Robert, but with himself. However, the couple always evades their issues. Robert is an innocent bystander in this story. He is not aware of the miscommunication that the couple is having. He is a catalyst that brings the couple’s problems to the surface.
Why is this? Hit men take great consideration to concealing their identity. Human nature indicates that the cold heart of the hit man may be less a characteristic of the killer’s individual personality, than a feature of the professional framework of experience which the hit man has learned to adapt himself to, when he is on the job. Most hit men do not kill people just because they want to, or take pleasure in doing so. Many like Pete see it as a “just a job” or “just money” making it possible to view them more in human terms than monsters and it is less threatening to look upon them as persons once again.
Because of this, speculations have been rising for who is responsible. Despite speculation, Slender man does not encourage people to try to murder or harm others because the ones who commit the violent acts are mentally impaired and use the name of Slender man as an excuse for their actions. Executive editor of Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan, wrote his 2014 article “ Pop Culture isn’t to Blame for the ‘Slenderman’ stabbing” about how the person’s mental state, not our media culture, is to blame for the influence that the stories of Slender man have on some individuals.

The stories never really evolve into a complete mystery because Holmes is too brilliant for the reader’s good. We are far too engaged in his powers that we begin to think we can be as conclusive and detailed as he can in our own lives. This particular story, however, is far from predictable and consistently leaves the reader curious as to how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will finish the novel. We also see a much deeper character analysis with Dr. Watson. In other books, he is foreseen as the weak link to Holmes.
According to him there is no escape from the weight of means and ends (Ramsay, 33). We often hear people while faced with certain difficult situations saying that the end does not justify the means but rarely have we ever thought of what that means. In reality, this means for example that one cannot result to stealing as a way of satisfying his/her needs as this would be considered immoral and punishable by law. Whatever the end is, one is not supposed to result to immoral behavior to achieve that
This adds another layer to their conflict. The filmmakers aren’t afraid to get political in another regard, as the picture also capably tackles the pros and cons of isolationism, a sentiment some would extol in this country. As much as I appreciated those elements of the screenplay, I did not like two others that represent the major problems with the film in my book. First, I would describe the characters here as two-dimensional. They’re not caricatures, but nor are they fully fleshed out.
