He stood up and walked dangerously towards Crooks. ‘Who hurt George?’ he demanded” (Steinbeck 73).
The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again. Sonny probably feels like if he lets anyone get too close to him and he confides too much in someone than he will lose control, and the other members of his gang will no longer listen and respect him. In the course of the movie Sonny only looks out for himself and sometimes Cologero. For example, after Sonny accused Cologero of putting something dangerous on his car, he told him to get out of his reckless friends car and get in his car. Even though it did not seem like it, this was Sonny’s way of apologizing to Cologero for flipping out earlier in the film.
“A Modest Proposal” For Preventing Smokers from Contaminating the Air with Deadly Toxins and Causing Second Hand Smoke upon the Innocent Public Contaminated air is among the many fears that the innocent public must confront in order to attempt a healthy and long living life.

Smokers have a gruesome and egotistic view on life that results in no consideration for the purity of a person’s body. The negligence that tobacco consumers demonstrate by smoking wherever and whenever results in 443,000 deaths per year, including 49,000 of whom had never smoked, but second hand smoke took advantage over them.

October 21, 2008 Punishment of Oedipus A plethora of people in life tends to bring justice into effect by acting on their own but it is hard especially when the person has to judge himself. Considering Oedipus’s feelings some people may find the punishment he gave himself just and other may find it absurd. There are some other factors that contributed as well to his immediate and repugnant decision which were: the city being devastated by plague, diseases, a fair amount of people dying, crops not growing, etc, and others further discovering which will be discussed so on. Oedipus impetuously answered the sphinx’s riddle and assumed control of Thebes but pulled off his eyes and wanted to be banished from his kingdom.

Consequently, we might even have more time to consume for analyzing what and where may the terrorists’ attacks be. However, if we wasted our time on finding the correct prisoners and torture them, we are not only having a risk of killing them, but a risk of receiving lies, for they might tell lies to stop torturers from continue torturing them, or nothing at all as well. Another case that would be extremely likely to happen is that criminals who are tortured begin to hate the world much severer. As a result, they would become determined that they would say nothing about their plans. Furthermore, they would be viewed as potential risks when they are out from the jail since the more they hate the world, the higher the potential of constructing evil attacks by them would be.
