When Maggie Glenn, an upstate South Carolina photographer, takes an almost propagandist picture of Mr. Kowalsky looking sad staring at the river of where his passed daughter rests this story picks up fire and politicians from the surrounding area get involved to help get this man’s daughter out of the river, which maddens the locals who would not like to see the only free flowing river in the state be tampered with. Installing a temporary dam in the Tamassee River to retrieve the body of twelve year old Ruth Kowalsky seems like a good, safe way to securely recover this little girl’s body, but the law clearly states “certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.” Then it states “alteration of modification of the streambed will not
Surviving the war the speaker revisits the scene and experiences survivors’ guilt, with this poem he restrains his anger and beautifully remembers. The speaker starts his poem by saying “ The castles on the Rhine / are all haunted” (lines 1-2). Meaning that along this boat trip these castles are abandoned and no one has lived there since the terrible events that took place. By the speaker saying “…the ghost of Jewish mothers / looking for their ghostly children” (lines 3-4). The speaker is envisioning in
Brown’s novel is assumed to be based on the unconfirmed rumors that Thomas Jefferson fathered a child with one of his slaves, Sally Hemmings (Kirkpatrick, 2004). These rumors were very relevant at the time that Brown wrote his novel. It seems that Brown was even ahead of his time in questioning the actions of President Jefferson because the DNA confirmation behind these rumors was not provided until years later. One of the strong motifs throughout this novel is hypocrisy. The fact that Thomas Jefferson, one of the writers of the Declaration of Independence, who fights for freedom and equality for all, would allow his biological daughter to be put up and sold at auction just shows the great deal of hypocrisy during the time of slavery.
He raises his voice at Aunt Harriet and tells her to go pray for trying to abet Emily; leading her to commit suicide, "…Aunt Harriet's body had been found in the river…" (74). At first, Joseph is calm when he sees Harriet at the door. Once he is informed of the situation, he bursts out with fury. He makes it clear to her that what she did is wrong and that she should go pray for forgiveness. This proves that Joseph cares more about tradition than family.
However, after Frank’s death, the damage that occurred was just irreparable. “None of these precautions on behalf of Frank’s reputation was enough however to restore harmony in the Hayden family”. The damage was so bad, the Hayden family wouldn’t even talk to each other, “but neither my aunt nor my grandparents would speak to us. Even I understood the symbolism: Frank’s death was an unbridgeable gulf between us.” By the end of the Novel, even after the loyalty shown to Frank as a family member, Julian never forgave Wes, causing Wes and his family to eventually leave Montana and never speak of the incident that happened in ‘Montana’ in that horrible summer of ‘1948’ ‘Montana 1948’ shows in many ways just how important both family loyalty and Justice are to the characters in the book. Wes began off as

While interviewing the staff, the marshals learn that Dr. Sheehan, Rachel's primary psychiatrist, is on vacation.

Her son then ran to call an ambulance, but realized the phone was not working, because the contractor had shut off the power. When he returned, he found her unconscious. The family realized they had no way to call an ambulance, so the son ran to the next-door neighbors home to call the
Bland fell into a coma and was put onto a life support machine at the hospital. Bland’s family wanted to continue use of the life support machine but doctors wanted to withdraw the use. The court didn’t reflect the Good Samaritan Law during the case and thought it patient’s best interests to withdraw the use of the machine. As a result, he became the first patient in English legal history to be allowed to die by the courts through the withdrawal of life-prolonging treatment including water and food. Khan v Khan (1998) also does not reflect the Good Samaritan Law; in this case the defendant supplied heroin to a girl who collapsed as a result of taking it for the first time.
My initial feeling when I found out was shock and then guilt. I felt as though I could have saved my aunt from the pain of his death if I had stuck to the original plan. I wished I could have at least saved her the pain of being the one to find him. It’s been a long road of healing for her and she’ll never completely heal. My cousin didn’t show the typical signs of suicidal tendency, nor did he leave a note.
