A broader interest in exploring psychological motivation also found its niche in US film and was visually and narratively distinct from that of the 1930’s. Drawing on the outlaws of America’s Wild West, the private eye was a lone, moral hero on the mean streets of America. The urban new reality of the 1940’s gave rise to the hard-boiled detective and a new symbolic landscape for American crime fiction. Warner Bros. had previously made versions of Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon in 1931; however it was remade for the third time in 1941 as part of this new trend in the treatment of crime. Neither of the previous films had attempted to capture the full impact of the novel’s bleak and uncompromising version of urban America or the unheroic aspects of its hero.
A sociopath does not feel emotion towards others, and only looks out for the good of himself, which perfectly exemplifies the protagonist in this novel. The word sociopath describes a person who has little to no emotions towards people and other living things beside themselves. People may think that all sociopaths are psychotic serial killers, but that is not the case. There are many ordinary citizens who suffer from the psychological disorder. Symptoms of a sociopath are pathological lying, lack of remorse, incapacity of love, need for stimulation, lack of empathy, juvenile delinquency, unreliability, criminal or entrepreneurial versatility, and shallow emotions.
The death of millions could be caused by one misstep due to Ender.In Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Ender Wiggin, the protagonist of the novel, shows with his triumphs and defeats that one can only successfully fight enemies that one understands. Ender shows this truth in his wins against his peers, his losses against adults, and his ability to win against the buggers. In each of these cases, understanding the enemy is a necessary part to do battle effectively and be successful. Ender reveals the importance of understanding his enemies when he fights his peers. The first classmate that Ender fights is Stilson.
He quickly learns that the city that never sleeps isn’t exactly the friendliest place, but more a malicious and menacing place. It is a place where people cheat and steal, and don’t have a care in the world if they did. For example, on page 146, Dom says, “We got cheated”, in which Gaetono replays, “and we’ll get cheated again, thats how it works”. When Gaetono said getting cheated is how it works, he is referring to how mean, and cruel the city can be, that things happen, and there no real way to retaliate, you just have to let it go. Another example of physical challenges would have to be the lack of respect Dom, Gaetono, and Tin Pan Alley have in New York.
In my eyes I view the theme as being something along the lines do not ever settle on something you don not want to do. He was doing something he did not really want to do but he did not realize it until right before he died. If his job had not made him into a bitter old man that he was, it contributed more than enough. “Anders had never paid much attention to that part of the bank, a pompous old building with marble floors and counters and pillars, and gilt scrollwork over the tellers’ cages” (Wolf 107). The robber puts the gun to Andre’s head and tells him to look up and he sees a painting he had never seen before even though he had been going to this same bank for years and all he can do is criticize the artwork.
A good person usually has a mean streak, that is not dominant, but undeniably there. A bad person has a good side but that side also doesn’t show. In “To Kill a Mockingbird”, there are many examples of good and bad characters. A good character is Atticus Finch for example. Examples of bad characters in the story are Bob Ewell and Nathan Radley, evidenced by Calpurnia saying that he is “the meanest man ever God blew breath into.”
This case could argue that whilst he was not born evil, he was certainly becoming bad. His reason for the murder would suggest he was not of a sane mind, however he was not convicted as clinically insane or mentally unwell, he was convicted as a ruthless killer and remains in custody to this day. It could be said by looking at the story of Mark Chapman he made many cries for help, but it never came and he headed down a path of devastation and the world lost a legend in John
“Calm, gentle, passionless, as he appeared, there was yet, we fear, a quiet depth of malice, hitherto latent, but active now, in this unfortunate old man, which led him to imagine a more intimate revenge than any mortal had ever wreaked upon an enemy.” (pg.139) Chillingworth has become an entirely evil man with no regard to anything other than the thoughts of vengeance. He is not the same man that he was prior to that. He is a depressed, deformed old man filled with a devilish spirit that cannot be tamed. He is an angry, bitter man until the day that he
One of the article can prove my point that supermax not doing what they are doing “So is Castro, who was convicted in another drug conspiracy case more than a decade ago. The latest federal indictment says he used coded letters, phone calls and his girlfriend's help to get messages out of SuperMax and that he supervised the collection of kickbacks on drug sales in his gang's territory just west of downtown Los Angeles.”(CNN News: SuperMax prison is super lax, court cases allege). And another one “A report by the Justice Department's inspector general found the Bureau of Prisons "is unable to effectively monitor the mail of terrorist and other high-risk inmates in order to detect and prevent terrorism and criminal activities." . (CNN News: SuperMax prison is super lax, court cases allege).
Unlike Piggy, he admits that the death of Simon is "murder" and that he was partly involved. Another reason for considering Ralph the hero of the book is that he is at the center of the story. The novel begins and ends with his views and we spend more time with Ralph than with any other single character. Ralph therefore qualifies as the hero of the novel in many ways, but he also has many faults. He is not a strong leader and is unable to make sure that the huts are built or the fire is watched.
