Aside from that, he had promised to pay back the money he had stolen and believed he would. He was stealing the money because he wanted people to like him and he thought this was the way to do it. 4. The framed T-shirt tells me that he really wanted to have things and needed the money to have the things he wanted. The lifestyle red flags that could have tipped off the company to the possibility of fraud would be the new expensive cars, the expensive clothes, the houses that his income would not have been able to support.
Makhdum Qurashei Date: 11/06/2012 American Literature Mr. Jesse Barron Assassination of Trust In this present world there are many consequences for being greedy. For this reason, the story “ Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving is relevant to todays world. In the story, Tom met a devil in the swamp, which gave him a lot of money to start a business. Then tom gave this money to start their own businesses, but Tom made a deal with them, who borrowed money from him, in that they had to pay back more money than they borrowed. Similarly, in the present world a man called Bernie Madoff who started to collect money from the people by telling them they would be paid back their money in a high interest rate.
In addition the interest on the debt alone was £9 million per year. All of this made it clear to Pitt that something had to happen to try to escape from the mess the government was in. In the 18th century there was a serious problem with people smuggling goods such as tea and tobacco into the country. This was to avoid the duty tax on products, which gave them a huge profit margin.

Should wealthy individuals be permitted to “buy” their way out of prison or bargain for a reduction in sentence? What if the individual, if allowed to remain out of custody, can continue to earn his legitimate income and therefore pay substantial restitution to the victims, but if placed in prison the victims will go uncompensated? I would rather pay a $30K fine as opposed to a year in prison because prison creates a criminal record that never goes away and in turn creates difficulty in obtaining employment, decent housing, and destroys many other opportunities. I think that in the long run that one year in prison will end up costing more than $30K in lost wages and such, so I would rather pay the fine. I think if a wealthy person has the means to pay restitution to help the family and at the same time this reduces or helps them avoid a sentence, I am ok with it.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby works his entire life to be rich just so he can get Daisy back, however it turns into an obstacle in getting her. Since Gatsby was originally from a poor family, when he achieved wealth in his later years, he was considered “new money.” This “new money,” was the main problem in getting Daisy. She was considered from “old money,” which is when you come from a family who had money. Gatsby did many things to try to get back with Daisy, he even tried to hide his money so that Daisy did not know where it came from, which he hoped would allow her to come and be with him. When Gatsby and Daisy first met, Gatsby was in the war, and very poor.
The reason for Gatsby to participate in this business was to earn a nice amount of cash quickly to purchase glamorous riches, which was all done to attract the attention of Daisy. But, by Gatsby performing this act, he is cheating and consequently forfeiting his moral values to obtain a great amount of wealth. Fitzgerald’s intent of including this passage was to strengthen his message of how an American
In source 4 we also learn that much must have depended on diplomatic relations with Maximilian and Ferdinand, however Henry’s allies proved unfaithful and unreliable.

He wanted to make his own future for himself and not get tied down with having to please his father in every little thing he did. John committing suicide just shows the extent to which he felt out of place, so much that he did not want to live with the people that made him feel this way. Looking for Alibrandi is a book where many characters feel out of place and did not belong, in a certain point during their life. Josie feels out of place because of the way she has been bought differently compared to her peers at school.
