It was an ironically sunny day. Birds were chirping, kids were playing in the park, a perfect breeze was blowing through the trees. Yet Todd couldn’t find it in himself to enjoy it. No one in the funeral home could. Instead, everyone was either crying or emotionless. Neil’s father, Mr. Perry, was giving the eulogy. “We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of my only son, Neil. He was taken from me much too soon, and he will surely be missed. He was brilliant…” Todd leans over in his seat

The definition of a lawyer is a person who practices or studies law. In Errol Morris’ interview of lawyer Murray Richman, Errol asks Murray many questions about the morality and some of his court cases involving the mobsters at the time. Some people may think Murray is in the wrong due to the fact that he is allowing crime to prevail. They say this because Murray is using his abilities as a lawyer to help his clients get acquitted in their court cases. This means that the mobsters who truthfully
Lesson Learned There are so many events that change one’s life that it is rather difficult to try and decipher which of those events are most important. Each event changes a different aspect of your life, molding how one’s personality turns out. One of these events occurred when I was about twelve years old and I attempted to steal from a Six Flags amusement park. My reasoning for stealing wasn’t that I didn’t have the money, or even that I wanted what I stole all that badly, it was that all
When people visualize heroes, they visualize a person with superpowers, a prince or a king from a Disney movie, etc. Most of the familiar ones are fictional characters, but it can be anyone in this world. It can even be someone you haven’t even met. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t because it’s their actions and traits that count. I specify a hero as someone who is thoughtful, someone who never gives up, and someone who inspires other people. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, mostly known as Katy Perry

Justification of Violence Violence and the justification of it has been an issue for as long as the world has been in existence. There are many conflicting opinions on the subject, many in favor and many opposing the idea. I am personally split on the issue; I believe that in some cases, violence can be justified; however, I also believe that in others, it cannot be. In my opinion, the only instance in which violence can be justified is self-defense. I believe that if an innocent person is attacked
“Optimism - the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.” This quote from Ambrose Bierce, while short and sweet, is an accurate reflection of my own personal philosophy. Throughout our lifetimes, many things get thrown at us; the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad. It is up to us on how we choose to handle these situations. I hold steadfast to the idea of optimism. And although at times it has come back to bite me, throughout my life experiences, I have proven to
Slipping between the walls like a ghost, I inhaled deeply in an attempt to calm my frantic heartbeats. I knew it was futile to try, but I couldn't find the power to give up and let this hell hole kill me. I would have given up trying to escape long ago, but my brother became relentless in keeping me alive after our parents were murdered. I, since then, managed to pick up his will to survive myself. I even started dreaming of getting 'outside' again. The thing is, I have been in this ever-changing

The Joyride Rain clouds began to tear themselves away from the jagged peaks of the Koolau range and rays broke through the clouds and beat down on the muddy water of Pearl Bay. Bobby glanced toward them, but his mind was elsewhere. He paced back and forth along the isolated stretch of the narrow beach. Now and then he would kick at loose pebbles along the muddy grey shoreline. For the moment, Bobby was still in his private world, consisting of little more than a strip of mud flat along one
