In a patronising and condescending letter to the editor G J Wowser egotistically contends that the drink driving age should be changed to twenty-one. G J Wowser is critical of young drivers and aims to portray them as ‘irresponsible and careless’. Wowser positions the reader to think of teenagers as ‘irresponsible’ and incapable of drinking and driving by twenty-one. This can be identified in his description of young people as ‘tearaways’. This portrays Wowser’s bitter view on younger drivers and positions the audience to think all young people are irresponsible and ineligible to be driving on our roads.
His hallucinations reversed his views in the world. Jeremy wished that the last 24 hours of his life never happened and he’d do anything to change it. At the end of the novel, Kelly shoots Lil J’s gun out the apartment window. The S. W. A. T. team came into the apartment and threw smoke. In the smoke, they shot the person with the gun and it wasn’t Lil J instead it was “Kelly”.
This speech is different from the others in that he uses very vivid and disturbing images when he is trying to convince the governor to surrender his city. Although this speech does use Henry’s same rhetoric he isn’t leading anyone in a sense. He actually says that if the city doesn’t surrender he will lose control of his army and they will go off and do whatever they want. Henry says, “ your infants spitted upon pikes”(38) which draws a not so pleasant image. It almost leads us to question Henry’s morals if he is willing to kill infants.
Activity 1 Derrick Bird committed Mass Murder through Cumbria on 2nd June 2010. From the evidence it seems as if the reason for this spree was money related, his father had recently deceased and he wanted everything in his will killing his brother and his lawyer. He was also going through a tax investigation at the time. His motive seems to be personal at first mixed with financial and then turns into a mental disturbance as he kills those at random. His first 3 victims experienced high levels of risk as he specifically targeted them and the rest were of low risk as they had not done wrong or even know Bird.
The controversy was not just behind the violent act, but also the debate that race played a role in the death. Trayvon Martin was African American and George Zimmerman is Caucasian and Peruvian. The shooting has been covered by many mass media outlets around the world mostly citing racial profiling as the cause of the fatal encounter. In the Essence magazine article entitled, The Danger Outside, senior writer Jeannine Amber makes it perfectly clear of her position on the incident. Under the heading, Profiled to Death, she recounts the incident and points out Trayvon’s race and attire that afternoon.
According to the witness, the sentry fired at least five rounds at the truck. Sentry Box Smashed But it did no good. The truck broke down the gate and then swerved around a blast wall of sandbags about 15 feet in front of the building entry. According to the witnesses quoted by Major Jordan, another marine threw himself in front of the truck, but to no avail. Now the truck was moving even faster, said Major Jordan, and the only thing between it and the building was the sentry box at the front door.
Especially young adults should not be drinking and driving. Unfortunately, they were. On top of that the driver was speeding and lost control of the vehicle. I don’t know what else to say about this incident because its so painful and hurts, and It’s self explanatory what I am trying to say. The world lost a very amazing , talented, and heart golden , important , young man.
When that didn’t work and it became clear that they were not going to disperse, at around 12:24 pm 77 National Guard members fired 67 rounds from M1 Garand rifles into the croud killing 4 and wounding 9 others, thus violently ending the protests. What’s even worse is that two of the students killed had not even been involved in the protest they were just walking to class and had gotten caught in the crossfire. This had a major impact on other campuses and nation wide. It caused an estimated 450 other campuses to stop protesting worldwide and it also got world wide press, their was even a song written about it. it was a tragic event that happened to people who only stand up against what they believed was wrong and tried to make a
Lynching From the 1880s to the 1940s, innocent people were killed, and for one main reason: their race. Some of these deaths were results to lynching. This time period unfortunately was known as “The Negro Holocaust.” There are many questions to why and how the time period acted during this gruesome time. To begin with, what is lynching? Lynching is being “put to death, especially by hanging, by mob action and without legal authority.” People were being killed without a right.
Communities nearby would also quarrel over this event. If guns were allowed, and shots were fired, could that affect us? Would the bullet go astray and hit one of my children or myself? Anti-violence groups will not like the idea that something that is so "violent" would be carried by students, and it promotes violence and sends out the wrong message. This would greatly affect the debate and outcome of the argument whether firearms should be allowed or not on campus.
