This video shows kids the dangers of raves, not once does the visual mention any of the positive in the rave culture, nor does it mention rave being a culture at all. It only portrays raves to be parties that are all about getting high, and the lights, bright colored clothing and glow-sticks are only used for enhancing the drug affect. Equally important, she states the possibility of sexual assault. Which is unrealistic for the fact that many people occupy raves, and others constantly surround the individuals. Most ravers would not promote sexual assault or attack at their gatherings, since it goes against PLUR in every way.
Out of most of the minor characters Mr. Dolphus Raymond stands out as one of the more evil characters until Scout learns the truth behind his behavior. On page 200 it states, “As Mr. Dolphus Raymond was an evil man I accepted his invitation reluctantly, but I followed Dill” (Lee). Scout knows Mr. Dolphus Raymond to be evil because he drinks and is married to an African-American woman, as well as the fact that he has fathered several half African-American and half white children. During the time period that she is living in, a relationship between a white man and a black woman is strictly frowned upon, thus resulting in his alienation from society and the many rumors surrounding him. It is later learned through his conversations with Dill and Scout that his “whiskey” is in fact Coca-Cola and he pretends to be drunk to give people a reason for why he behaves the way he does.
Redemption Just Out of Reach In Bret Harte’s “The Outcasts of Poker Flat,” we find many characters being banned from a city due to the townspeople’s opinion of them.

Of these outcasts, John Oakhurst, Mother Shipton, and Duchess all show redemptive qualities after being run out of town. John Oakhurst takes the leading position of the group of outcasts on their trek out of Poker Flat.
The other patients, most of whom are there voluntarily, are cowed into submission by her. Like McMurphy the patients hide in the ward from the law, their families, or the despair of their own lives. While McMurphy initially shows little respect for them, his antiauthoritarian nature is aroused. He takes Nurse Ratched on and undermines her rules and authority. Initially, it’s just for fun, but his sense of injustice at the treatment of the patients leads him into a real battle for their good.
But it is clear that nick, like Lucy no longer shares much with Lewis. Their priorities and beliefs no longer seem compatible and, in two out of the three scenes in which Nick appears, he and Lewis fight first verbally (in Act one) and then physically (in Act two). In Act one scene one both Nick and Lucy leave Lewis alone in the theatre when Roy appears and says he is a patient this is because Nick and Lucy both view the patients as “madmen” and don’t want to be around them. Lewis feels betrayed (pg. 2 ).
He is calm, but she can sense the hurt in his voice. He decides that he cannot stay with someone who was unfaithful and mentions divorce. Mary begins drinking late at night, alone, to relieve the
This stupid law only makes people criminals and dies in this city, Chicago. These days, polices and courts look too busy to control, spending their time mostly on Prohibition cases, and they look overburdened to take care of their real purposes which to protect people and citizens’ properties. Even more, people start to distrust the government because people know that many of candidates have their relationships with mobsters who have money and influence from organized crime as a support. The society looks corrupted and this is all because of stupid prohibition at least for these days. A lot of friends of mine also had changes of drinking habits, which means that they drink at home mostly instead of drinking in the bar or pub, and they prefer hard liquors because it is easier to get and cheaper.
