Robinson's house, and how Helen collapsed at the
news. Meanwhile, the news occupies Maycomb's

irrational like trying to escape. Mr. Underwood
writes a long editorial condemning Tom's death as
the murder of an innocent man, and the only other
important reaction comes when Bob Ewell is
overheard saying that the death makes "one down

Held Liable Reasonable Care

Harm is easily defined when it is intentional;
after all, no one would push you down the steps or
purposely cause you to wreck your car. Negligence
is an area of tort law that involves unintentional
acts that can cause harm and is just as easily
identified. The boundaries governing liabilities
for negligence, however, are much narrower than
that of intentional torts. The difference is that
the respondent in a negligent action is performing
a task, which is considered perfectly acceptable

... r, three years later Mulvey accepted that her
original account could now be construed as

for both male and female. For example, Brad Pitt
in Fight Club is the object of the gaze; he brings
satisfaction to the female viewer and male viewers
who see themselves as him. From the point of view
of psychoanalysis, the female figure is presented

punishment. I have spent the past few years of my

years many lives have been taken by the
government, but it? s not just lives they take but

have enjoyed the book more if I had read it at a
later point and time in my life when I have the
ability to relate to it more. Despite the fact
that this book was evidently written for a more
mature and experienced audience I still enjoyed
reading it. This book was a positive influence on
me because I can se...

representation of Gods, spirits, death, and the
afterlife has always been prevalent in drama. The
thought of not being able to know what comes after
our own lives scares many people and that is why
it has been represented so much in theater. These
phantoms have appeared in plays since the
beginning of drama. Plays like The Bacchae, or
Everyman, and even more modern plays such as The
Death of a Salesman and Our Town. But perhaps two

The novel, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte delivers
a strong feminist message. Jane was a strong woman
in a time when women were not meant to be strong.

sure in her values and opinions. She would not
change them for anyone. She did not even let men
control her, which is what was expected of women
in this era. Janes father died when she was a
little girl, leaving her basically on her own. The
