Ophelia Commited Suicide Contentious To Say That Ophelia Hamlet
695 words
A grieving widow is desolate. An African American
slave is tortured. A concubine is mistreated.
These three victims of circumstances that they
could not control are pitied. So are there any
foundations based on whether one should pity
another? The Oxford Dictionary defines pity as the

As I take back a step and look at all the wrong

cease. One of the most highly abused drugs,
marijuana, has become the foremost stimulant
leading to harder and deadlier drugs. What makes
this case even worse is the fact that people have
formed groups with the sole purpose of legalizing
this drug. With all...

Marijuana For Medical Purposes Legalization Of Marijuana

Both California and Arizona have taken the long
needed initiative and approved the use of
marijuana for medical purposes. The California
bill says that patients may use marijuana with a
doctor's recommendation. It does not, however,
allow doctors to prescribe the drug. Arizona

to the left than California's. Voters in Arizona

illicit drug for bona fide medical purposes. A

as Puritans, religiously good people, do not fit
that description. Many Puritans were out for
revenge on enemies, abused their power and
committed perjury. The Crucible was upsetting and
Goody Putnam acted crazy by thinking some
supernatural power killed her babies. The fact
that the judges believed her accusation is even
worse. It seemed easy to prove an innocent person
guilty throughout that period...
