Malcolm X, one of the most powerful leaders of black America during the 1960s. He was a street hustler convicted of robbery that made him spent seven years in prison. He became frustrated at not being to express himself in letter, and he wanted to be as knowledgeable as his fellow inmate, Bimbi who had always taken charge of any conversations, therefore he started to educate himself by copying the whole dictionary. Malcolm X learnt of people, places and events from history, especially the history of the white and the black. He wrote about how bad were the white and the way they humiliated the non-white group.
He explained that white men always win and cheat, so the white men are the victors but the white man is always a bad man. This shows that it can be prejudice because Tom`s story was not heard and he was accused of being guilty and so he was killed. In cases of Tom being wrongly accused, harassment by others, on Scout and Atticus defending the jail can have an opinion of people that is destructive. When the group of men came to kill Tom, it shows that if Scout and Jem did not have a father would be the same thing for Walter Cunningham.
Daniel felt guilt and remorse while he was in jail and It was just a mistake that couldn’t be undone. A longer sentence wouldn’t bring back the lives of the dead. Longer jail sentence wouldn’t have achieved justice. The town of Mumbilli had lost the two loved teenagers while one was in serious condition. The Brennan’s were a well-respected family in the town but the action of Daniel left the feeling of hatred for the family.” The town of Mumbilli was bleeding.” The town was extremely affected by the accident.
By the 80’s They gained control, and the protection that they were seeking and moved on to the opportunity of taking over the money making criminal schemes while still being incarcerated. The gang engaged in selling narcotics, contraband, and disobeying the prison inmate policy rules which included the murder of other inmates and staff. (Mantaldo, 2014) As time moved on, the gang started to spread into other prison facilities along with their illegal criminal activities. AB gang members started turning on each other and they ended up becoming the weakest gang in San Quentin, California. The fact that prison officials began cutting down on gang violence moving the remaining members of SuperMax facilities Control Units where they can have better control put wedges in their criminal
Johnny, knowing how prized and amazing he was at his job, was bossy and mean towards most in the family, even Mr. Lapham. Because of how prideful he was, Johnny would defend himself to anybody that insulted him, which, in my opinion, caused him to not care when he made fun of someone. In the book, Dove, another apprentice, tricked Johnny and caused him to burn his hand with silver. The hand became
To make it worse his parents weren’t always the best. His parents were very abusive as a verbally and physically. As the mobster killer began to get older his temper and the way he seen things were changing for the worst. His anger began to arise at the age of thirteen exceeding to his first murder. Kuklinski went from a child who knew no better to killing people because of his temper that made it to a contract killer.
Mrs. Stinger Boo Radley- The mysterious Arthur Radley is blamed for virtually any unexplainable act in Maycomb. Any stealthy small crimes committed in Maycomb were his work. Because of his past history of apparent mental instability and the forced seclusion within the Radley House that his father strictly enforced, he is accused of everything from being a peeping tom to poisoning pecans. There is no evidence or witnesses to any of these accusations, but rumors persist throughout the town, making Boo a man with no friends or expectations for a better future. The jury- Tom Robinson is accused of rape by a white family, the Ewells, who have been, according to Atticus, "the disgrace of Maycomb for three generations."
What could have been a good life for him and his family spiraled out of control and he was evidently caught by the Feds and arrested. He was offered a deal to serve a short amount of prison time if he turned on his lifelong friends and cohorts. He agreed to this deal and was also put into protective custody after all the trials of all the mobsters he turned in and “ratted” on were over. Henry Hill’s loyalty to the Mob was gone and he claimed he made this decision to save his family but as most people surmised, his disloyalty to the people who he had known all his life, was for his own self interest. “Philosophers typically use self-interest in the generic sense to refer to happiness, well being, flourishing or as I shall say; what one’s life goes best for one” (Philosophy,
He actually buried one of his best friends alive because he embarrassed Montresor in public. In my mind that is just going too far. It may seem like nothing now a day. However, back then it was a great offence to do so and especially in public. It also seemed that when Montresor was building the brick wall, while Fortunado was moaning behind it, Montresor seemed to regret everything he was doing.
Police Brutality Through out the years we have heard many cases of police brutality. There have been many civilian fatalities due to the inconsiderate amount of police brutality across the U.S, which is why I believe that the law should come down harder on police officers instead of letting them walk freely. There have been famous cases such as the Eric Garner case, cases such as these have happened frequently and last I think that the law should come down harder on police officers for abusing their power. On July 17, 2014 something tragic happened to a family man but not many of us know this because justice was never dealt in court. On this tragic day a father of two and happily married wife lost someone very dear and it was Eric Garner.
