Brain would be really good because he is doing the same thing that they are doing. You do not no how long Brian is going to be living in the woods he could be living in the woods more than six weeks or less than six weeks. Brian has a hatchet and the other people had to make their things. So that is pretty hard for them and Brian. Brian and the other people both have water, so they can live with water. They both have food because all they have to do is try and make a trap. All they have to do is be quiet at night and let the animals get in the trap and then you have to kill them and you would have some food. You would have to set the trap out every night and be quiet. You could try and make a tall trap so you can have something tall in there or a lot of little animals in there. Brian, just have to do the same thing what the Austarial people did.The Austrial people have a lot of people, but Brian only has one person with him.Brian has a hatchet and the other people have a stick with something sharp on it.Brian got in a
When the pilot found him, the old Brian would have not been very patient to get on the plane and go home, but now he is kind and patient, because I think he realizes that the pilot has probably just saved his life, and he really owes the pilot. In chapter 19, the text says “He looked at the pilot and the plane, and down at himself - dirty and ragged, burned and lean and tough - and he coughed to clear his throat. ‘My name is Brian Robeson,’ he said. Then he saw that his stew was done, the peach whip almost done, and he waved to it with his hand. ‘Would you like something to eat?’” This quote really shows that he has grown as a person and has gained kindness and patience. Before this experience, he would’ve not said anything and just got on the plane and whined to go home. Now, he is inviting him to eat, showing that he is waiting, so he is more patient, and by offering the pilot something it shows that he is
In this paper, I will consider James Tully’s argument for an element “sharing” in a just relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people of Canada. I will claim that “sharing” is one of principles to the relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people who has connection with economic, political and legal relations. I will argue, that it is important to build “sharing” into a new, postcolonial relationship since it brings beneficial to country. I will also state proponent view with James Tully’s discussion that utilization of “sharing” to economic, political, and legal relations is essential to our society.
In Jared Diamond’s excerpt from his book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, he puts forward the historical narrative of how human evolution progresses at varying rates for different cultures due solely to the particular geographic region that people assimilate from. Diamond supports this thesis with specific evidence on the importance of food production, emphasizing that food is the main ingredient needed for a population to experience progress and growth, enabling that culture to expand around the world. I agree with Diamond’s dissertation and find it compelling due to his logical evidence and ethos on the topic.
Plot Summary: This flight to see his father in the Canadian wilderness is Brains first time in an airplane. He explains this to the pilot and tells him that he is scared. The pilot feels sorry for Brian and decides to show him that flying is not very difficult. He lets Brian take the steering control and direct the line of flight for a while. Just when Brian thinks that everything is going well, the pilot has a heart attack and dies. Brian knows he must land the plane himself or die. He tries to use the radio without success. He knows that if he hits the trees, he can die, so he decides to land in the water of a lake. When the plane is in the water, he gets out through a window. He lay on the bank of the lake for a while to rest. Brian knew he needed food and shelter to survive so he set out to find both. He was very careful not to get lost or go too far from the lake where his water was. He found a cherry tree and because he was very hungry, he ate his fill. He filled his windbreaker with cherries to eat later and then managed to find a cave for shelter. He slept very well, but in the morning when he awoke, he saw a bear in the cave. He was terrified, because the bear was only about 20 feet away eating his cherries out of his windbreaker. The bear only looked at Brian and then left. The cherries must have been enough to curb his appetite! The discovery of how to make a fire was very important to Brains survival. He needed to have one at the mouth of the cave to protect him from wild animals, and to signal for help.
The story examines fate and code of conduct of the Misfit and the grandmother. The story is thought provoking, disturbing and challenges one's perspective of what one may consider right or wrong. There is also a degree of selfishness behaviors that raises questions about the characters ability to show empathy freely despite their disposition. The Misfit affirmed his code of conduct by an injustice, he is not able to recall the crime and there is no paperwork to substantiate the crime. He said, "I call myself The Misfit, because I can't make what all I done wrong fit what all I gone through in punishment" (O'Connor, 1953). Therefore, his moral code is not about what is right or wrong, but what he perceived as gratifying. The question is, whether
The Disenchanted is a thinly disguised portrait of the life and times of F. Scott Fitzgerald, during his rise of fame of his fictional works to the fall of his alcoholic demise, similar to Manley Halliday in the novel. It is also a depiction of Schulberg himself as a young writer assigned to work with his idol at Darthmouth College. The novel begins with Shep Sterns, a junior writer and an idealist at heart, awaits for his screenplay, “Love on Ice” to be considered by the studio head, Victor Milgrim. As Milgrim sees potential on the script, he hires Halliday to work on it alongside with Shep. Halliday, a legendary but washed out novelist from the Jazz Age, tries to keep it together as he travels to Shep’s alma mater, Webster College, as a request from Milgrim. Shep sees his idol go down into a dangerous path of alcohol abuse and mental breakdowns. As for Shep, he also starts to the follow the same footsteps as he becomes hungry for fame and fortune. The relationship between Fitzgerald and Zelda was turbulent and unhealthy. Alcohol, obsession, and mental instabilities plagued their marriage throughout.

Their relationship was also stormy but through tribulations, she stayed with him until his death by 1940. Both women were not that far from different. Both were writers and both were in an intense relationship with a distinguished writer whose main focus was on the drink, the fame, and the novels than himself. In the novel, Manley Halliday’s marriage to a flapper named Jere is similar to Zelda, who was dubbed, “The First American Fl...
The body of civil law that once governed the Roman people, the Digest of Justinian, states in article 22.3.2, Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat. The burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not him who denies. This presumption of innocence, the idea that all men are innocent until proven guilty, lies at the heart of all court systems on our holy earth. If not for this principle, any manner of blind accusations could be made, all of which would hold equal merit. The very situation has arisen here in Salem. The cry of witchcraft has explained a many number of misfortunes that have befallen on a many number of people.
In the play The Crucible, the use of scapegoats is rampant; the main use is to place blame onto others to deflect blame from themselves or to help reach a goal. Those that don’t agree with the majority or have differing ideas are outcasts and easily made scapegoats. Many of the scapegoats in the play can attribute the blame they receive to the antagonist, Abigail Williams. In the play three people are scapegoats because of Abigail, the Parris’ servant Tituba, the Proctor’s servant Mary Warren, and Elizabeth Proctor the wife of John Proctor.
The Stolen Generation has left devastating impacts upon the Aboriginal culture and heritage, Australian history and the presence of equality experienced today. The ‘Stolen Generation’ refers to the children of Aboriginal descent being forcefully abducted by government officials of Australia and placed within institutions and catholic orphanages, being forced to assimilate into ‘white society’. These dehumanising acts placed these stolen children to experience desecration of culture, loss of identity and the extinction of their race. The destructive consequences that followed were effects of corruption including attempted suicide, depression and drug and alcohol abuse. The indigenous peoples affected by this have endured solitude for many years, this has only been expressed to the public recently and a proper apology has been issued, for the years of ignorance to the implementation of destruction of culture. The Stolen Generation has dramatically shaped Australian history and culture.
Many of the traditional criminological theories focused more on biological, psychological and sociological explanations of crime rather than on the cost and benefits of crime. More conservative approaches, including routine actives, lifestyle exposure and opportunity theories have clearly incorporated crime rate patterns as a fundamental part of analyzing the economics of crime. Crime statistics are important for the simple reason that they help put theories into a logical perspective. For example, a prospective home owner may want to look at crime rates in areas of potential occupancy. On a more complex level, it helps law enforcement and legislators create effective crime reduction programs. Furthermore, it also helps these agencies determine if crime prevention programs, that have been in effect, have been successful. There are many factors that influence the rates of crime including socio economic status, geographical location, culture and other lifestyle factors. More specifically, Messner and Blau (1987) used routine activities theory to test the relationship between the indicators of leisure activities and the rate of serious crimes. They discussed two types of leisure actives, the first being a household pastime, which primarily focused on television watching. The second type was a non-household leisure event which was consisted of attendance to sporting events, cinemas, and entertainment districts. The focus of this paper will be to study the effects that substantial amounts of leisure activities have on the offender and the victim. Leisure activities not only make a crime more opportunistic for offenders, it may also provide offenders with motivation to engage in criminal activity. On the other hand, it may also be argue...
white-collar crime” (Shapiro, S. P.). It is no surprise to anyone that positions of trust regularly decentralize to corporations, occupations, and “white-collar” individuals. Nevertheless, the concept of “white-collar crime” involves a false relationship between role-specific norms and the characteristics of those who typically occupy these roles. Most of the time, it is the offender that is looked at more than the crime itself and assumptions about the individuals automatically come into play. It has be to acknowledged that “ class or organizational position are consequential and play a more complex role in creating opportunities for wrongdoing and in shaping and frustrating the social control process than traditional stereotypes have allowed” (Shapiro, S. P.). The opportunities to partake in white-collar crime and violate the trust in which ones position carries are more dependent upon the individuals place in society, not just the work place. The ways in which white-collar criminals establish and exploit trust are an important factor in truly exploring and defining the concept of white-collar crime.
In “A Brief Encounter with the Enemy” by Said Sayrafiezadeh, Luke, a pessimistic soldier, walks down memory lane as he travels the path to get to the hill during his last recon.

Boredom and nothingness destroy him mentally as he waits for enemies to appear. When the enemies finally appear, he shoots them down and goes home the next day. Sayrafiezadeh proposes that expectations don’t always equate

The book Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak: A Report by Jean Herzfeld presented several statements from an interviewed conducted with the nine Hutu killers who contributed to killing over 50,000 Tutsis communities with machetes. Throughout the book, these nine killers narrated their experience/opinion on several topics asked how the Rwanda genocide began to how they participated in the genocide. For those who do not have prior knowledge of the history regarding the Tutsis and Hutus, one may wonder why would Hutus participate in violent acts against the Tutsis. In addition, question how could these people continuously harm this same group of people, especially when the victims are people they know or seen before. Based on the different
Thoughout history acts of violence have been committed against humanity, based on evidence read in this course, the most targetted has been women and even more women of African descent. An act of violence, it’s consider both, to prevent someone other than one self from meeting the basic needs and spectrums represented as a form of crime, in which the actions victimizes somebody; physically, emotinally and mentally. The rise of violence intensified when colonizers conquered a New World, the lack of acceptance of different people, allowed White supremacy mentality to become a tool of subordination that worked in cycles and affected, first indiginous people and then African slaves.
