Lieutenant Jimmy Cross Ted Lavender

... light. For a few moments, perhaps, they would
fall silent, lighting a joint and tracking its
passage from man to man, inhaling, holding in the
humiliation. Scary stuff, one of them might say.
But then someone else would grin or flick his
eyebrows and say, Roger-dodger, almost cut me a
new asshole, almost. There were numerous such
poses. Some carried themselves with a sort of
wistful resignation, others with pride or stiff
soldierly discipline or good humor or macho zeal.
They were afraid of ...

Witch Hunt Rebecca Nurse
584 words
The Crucible is a play set in a small Puritan
town, Salem, Massachusetts. Accusations of witches
cause hysteria in the theocratic society and leads
to the death of innocent people. Several motives,
accusations, and evidence can support the logical
explanations behind the witch-hunt. The initial
logic behind the witch-hunt is that Salem was a
theocratic society where everything was either
pure or sin. The government and religion acted as
one unit and the Puritan belief was the only
standard allow...

Outlook On Life Moment In Time
1,968 words
To really understand the significance of how the
military shaped me into the person I am today, I
must first reveal some insight into the person I
was before I left for basic training. When I
graduated high school in 1985 I was indestructible
ready to take on anything that came my way. I had
led a somewhat sheltered life in that my parents
provided a warm loving environment for my siblings
and myself. Yes we experienced the normal trials
and tribulations as any other kid, but we really
had no ne...

Teenage years are depressing because they are
going through some of the biggest changes in their
life. Teens start high school and have to deal
with being little in a school again. They go
through major hormonal changes. Their bodies
develop and grow. They have to decide whether or
not they are going to college or not. If they
choose college, then what college will meet their

When the convict is found, Pip tries to send him
the message that he did not turn against him: "I

People With Schizophrenia Bipolar Disorder
1,334 words
Schizophrenia, a disease of the brain, is one of
the most disabling and emotionally devastating
illnesses known to man. But because it has been
misunderstood for so long, it has received
relatively little attention and its victims have
been un deservingly stigmatized. Schizophrenia is
not a split personality, a rare and very different
disorder. Like cancer and diabetes, schizophrenia
has a biological basis; it is not caused by bad
parenting or personal weakness. Schizophrenia is,
in fact, a rela...

Philosophy In Edgar Allan Poe The Black Cat
1,243 words
The philosopher Thomas Hobbes is quoted as saying
that life is nasty, brutish and short (Landry).
This certainly turns out to be the case for the
people and animals who live with the alcoholic,
abusive, and murderous man in Edgar Allan Poe's
The Black Cat. One shudders as he describes the
horrific thoughts running through his mind. Even
more terrible and shocking are the senseless acts
of cruelty, and later murder, that he carries out
upon his cat and wife. Edgar Allan Poe evokes a
sense of terr...

has changed forever. Perhaps in this day and age,
it is difficult to fathom why anyone would
mastermind the attacks of September 11 th. In the
time that has followed that fateful day, news
organizations have ingrained into our brains
images of planes crashing into buildings, people

F Scott Fitzgerald Death Of Gatsby
926 words
Many characters were responsible, in part, for the
death of Jay Gatsby, the main character of The
Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but
each to his or her own degree. Tom Buchanan, a
wealthy member of a socially solid old family,
played a minor and relatively indirect role in the
death of Gatsby. Daisy Buchanan, a beautiful
socialite married to Tom, very selfishly used
Gatsby to better herself at all costs, one of
those being Gatsby's death, but, although she was
directly responsible...

Wearing Achilles Armor Achilles And Patroclus Friend
1,103 words
In The Iliad, Homer presents the reader with a
complex situation regarding who should receive
blame for the death of Patroclus. Achilles appears
the likely culprit because he allowed his good
friend to wear the armor knowing the danger this
ruse could bring on the battlefield. In contrast
to the person presented to the reader as fully
responsible for his demise, Patroclus carries much
of the fault as well. Both Achilles and Patroclus
hold equal culpability for the end of Patroclus
death, mainly ...

Cruel Tears Johnny Is Most Accountable For Tragedy

The cause of the tragedy at the end of Cruel Tears
was not Jack's jealousy but Johnny's weakness.
Jack played an important role; however, in
thinking about, and looking at the events that
surround the tragedy, it will be clear that it is
ultimately Johnny who is to blame. Jack's jealousy
played a large part in the tragic events; however,
it was Johnny's jealousy that caused the car

Osama Bin Laden Judicial System

After the September 11 th attack on the World
Trade Centre, the United States was quick in
pointing suspicion at Osama bin Laden. Along with
this, the U. S. has pointed some blame at
Afghanistan, specifically the Taliban, for
harbouring the well known terrorist. This is where
the States has forgotten about one specific rule
in which they abide by in all criminal cases.
According to the American Judicial system, one is
"innocent until proven guilty." And so this should

School Age Children Children Of Divorce

The statistics for divorce in the 1990 's suggest
that nearly sixty percent of marriages end in
divorce. Given this startling figure, the
presumption can be made that many children will
experience some effects caused by the
life-changing event called divorce. What is it
exactly about divorce that causes negative
consequences for these children? In what ways will
these children be effected? Will these effects
show outwardly? The unsettling fact is: young

The weather is sizzling hot and tensions are

Brooklyn neighborhood. Slowly but surely we see
the heat melt away the barriers that were keeping
anger from rising to the surface. The Blacks and
the Hispanics own the streets the Koreans own the
corner store and of course the Italians own the
pizzeria, the Cops who happen to be all Caucasian,

Suffering And Death Human Beings

Prayers take us into the spirituality of those who
pray them. They show us among other things, the
inner person, the needs of the heart, (both joy
and sorrow, gratitude and disappointment,
expectation and anxiety), as the praying person
stands 'naked' before spiritual realities. This is
to see what women say in prayer, and thereby to
get a glimpse into their spiritual life as that
may be nourished by African Religion and as it may
in turn contribute to African Religion itself. A
