Sources state that “Oliver was also indicted on four counts of aggravated assault by a public servant for firing his rifle into a car full of teenagers leaving a party April 29. Jordan, who sat in the front passenger seat, was struck in the head. His two brothers and two friends were also in the car.” The chief of the Balch Springs police department, Jonathan Haber said, “ the Chevrolet Impala was aggressively reversing toward Oliver and Officer Tyler Gross”. However the evidence provided by the body camera contradicted what the chief stated. This cop`s actions of course got him “indicted Monday on a murder charge by a Dallas County grand jury.” Apparently this cop already had some incidents, for example, “Oliver was also indicted last month

  • Fredrick Douglass Argumentative Essay

    295 Words  | 1 Pages

    Fredrick Douglass describes his life on the plantation as being very difficult and troubling. He discusses situations in which slaves were treated unjustly. For instance, slaves would be punished if they were to say anything except positive remarks about their masters, even if they were obviously mistreating their slaves. Douglass had to learn when it was best for him to just stay silent (Douglass 27). This creates an enraged emotion in the reader because slaves should not have been denied the right to speak their mind just because it does not coincide with how their masters wanted them to feel. Douglass lets the reader understand that his starting life was not easy for him, and by describing it in the initial chapters of the book instead of

    Formally, an immigrant can be defined as “a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.” But in some cases, there has been people like Cesar Chavez who have made a difference in history as an immigrant. Unfortunately, there are those who are not as lucky as Cesar Chavez and end up getting deported just like what happened in Operation Wetback in 1942. Now, they have made a way for immigrants to become U.S. citizens by taking the citizenship test. However, Donald Trump is one of the many people attempting to keep immigrants as far away from the U.S. Border laws are also another one of the many reasons why not many immigrants get the chance to enter this country because in many ways the laws that surround the border are in some ways unfair and not really the best. Immigration still remains a problem in our country

    “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” These famous words, spoken by the United Kingdom’s newly elected Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, came at perhaps the most important time in the history of civilization. This speech was delivered to the British Parliament at a point during World War Two where many Members of Parliament wanted to surrender to the National Socialist Germans, who had routed the British military at the Battle of Dunkirk; however, Churchill knew that Adolf Hitler’s Germany posed the greatest threat to the sovereignty of nation-states.

  • Oliver Twist: The Personification of Charles Dickens

    893 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the Victorian era many children of the lower social class where forced to live very miserable lives. Charles Dickens who grew up in this era was placed to work at the age of twelve in a Blacking factory in order to survive. The jobs that Dickens and other children of his age and even younger were forced to work were jobs that required very intense labor and resulted in extremely low wages. Thinking about his past, Dickens wanted to see a change in society. In an approach to draw society’s attention to the hardships of orphaned children, Dickens decided to write the novel Oliver Twist. Dickens was inspired to write the novel in hopes that the story of an orphan boy would shed light on the issues of the time while also serving as a protest against the Poor Law of 1834 which stopped government payments to the poor unless they worked in the workhouse. Oliver Twist not only illustrates the issues of the poor and a search for belonging but also shows how orphaned children were never seen as innocence.

  • Oliver Twist Character Analysis

    1552 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist, Dickens portrays the hardships of people in poverty during the Victorian era through Oliver and various characters throughout the novel. Oliver is born into a workhouse with no name where he is starved, beaten, and treated like a prisoner during the first ten years of his life. Dickens makes all his characters in the novel “…either a jailor or a prisoner, like Dickens himself both, the author and his turn key” (Lepore). Two characters that are both exemplified as prisoners throughout the novel are Oliver and Nancy. During Oliver’s younger years, he is under both the Parochial and Fagin’s reign. As for Nancy, she is depicted in certain ways as a prisoner to Bill Sikes. While Oliver is under the Parachial’s control, he is lacking food and being mistreated. Due to this exploitation, he builds up the courage to ask “…the cook at the workhouse for more gruel’’ (Dickens 12). During this era, it was rare for people of his social class to speak out and ask such demanding questions. Questions of this stature during this era is very comparable to someone breaking the law, due to the Poor Laws which set the quota of how much a person needs to eat. The Parochial were corrupt because they would short the amount of gruel per person and keep the money. Oliver is soon put up for sale, due to his unruliness, and sold to Sowerberry. Sowerberry lacking the available funds, is supported by his corrupt friend Mr. Bumble, who pockets the money for himself. With the help from Mr. Bumble, Sowerberry frees Oliver from the maltreatment of the parochial. Throughout the novel, Dickens uses many characters to challenge the Victorian idea that paupers and criminals ar...

Once the riddle of his true personality is uncovered, he rapidly trades it for an alternate, getting to be Brownlow's embraced child. After the entire whine and the overly complex tricks to disguise Oliver's personality, it is humorous that he surrenders it very nearly when he uncovers it.
