........ as Jesse stumbled down the stairs, he could hear the weeping and he
knew that something had gone wrong. He cried out, "what's going on?"
"Jesse this is officer Potter, and he would like to talk to you," wept his
grandmother.
"What's the problem officer?" mumbled Jesse half asleep, rubbing his eyes.
"Well, Jesse I don't know how to tell you this, but this morning on I-43
your dad was in a very terrible accident. He was hit by a semi truck heading
south on the interstate. And when we arrived upon the scene, your father was
found dead." Stammered the nervous rookie cop.
"Oh God, oh God, who did this?...........how did?.......why?.... .
............. I have to get out of here." Cried Jesse with a face full of tears.
"Jesse come back here!" Sobbed his grandmother.
Jesse then took off, and he told no one where he was going. So now
there is a grandmother weeping, a nervous rookie cop, and an upset missing
teenager; what is the family to do now. They just lost their dad, and son, and
now his child has taken off. Talk about a nightmare of a morning.
After Jesse took off his grandmother sat there on the couch, clutching
the work shirt of her dead son crying, "Oh Edward, Oh Edward." The cries echoed
through the empty house as the grandmother sat there in tears.
"How could this have happened?" Thought Jesse to himself, "he was just in
Green Bay and now he's dead. Who did this? They will get theirs."
The only thing that kept Jesse going was his hatred. He had to devise a
plan to get back at the person who did this. The only thing he could think of
was to repay blood for blood.
Jesse didn't know the exact details of the accident, but when he found out
he erupted into a fit of rage. "So the driver of the semi fell asleep behind
the wheel, huh? I tell you what, he better not fall asleep tonight. There is
one pissed of kid coming for him."
As Jesse sat at home devising a plan to pay back 'blood for blood', his
grandmother is planning out the arrangements for the funeral. Jesse's plan
sounds so simple and fool proof that even a child could pull this off. His idea
was to wait until about 1 o'clock in the morning and break into his house and
deal with him in an inhumane manner. All through his life Jesse had a
fascination with torture. So for this situation he would bring out the art of
Frank and Jesse had talked about forming a gang with Cole Younger, but Jesse was not with them when they committed their first robbery in February of 1866. Jesse joined in October. It wasn’t until March 1867 that they pulled their first job together. They tried to rob a bank at Savannah. All three aimed at the bank president, but all were bad shots and only one bullet barely touched him. This job was not successful. Two months later a man and his fifteen-year-old son were found dead and the blame was placed on Jesse. He was very attached to his mother and usually hid out at her house after pulling a job.
One occurred when Jesse tried to surrender to Union troops. Instead of accepting his white flag, the union soldiers opened fire and shot him in the chest. He managed to escape; however, this added to his hatred, his desire for revenge and thus his accumulation of strains. Another event which occurred later in his life was the bombing of his mother’s house. Pinkerton men were trying to see if Jesse was at the house. They threw in a smoke bomb to force the inhabitants out. Unfortunately, Jesse’s brother, Archie, thought it was a stick from the fire, and tried to put it back. It exploded, killing him instantly. It also severely injured their mother, leading to the amputation of her arm. This event further added to the strains accumulating in his life. He exacted revenge upon several of the men present at the event. Although he was already a well-established outlaw by this time, the murder of his brother cemented his resolve to continue his criminal
In the film Crash, a voice over says: “We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into one another just to feel something.” Crash is a mirror and reflection of who we are as individuals. There are many tasks we each have to do in our daily lives, and we encounter many people without realizing that we are connected. The results of these social interactions are often with violence, racial discrimination, and power struggles. We begin to judge people on their common appearances and begin to group them. Stereotyping and the misperception of people create these conflicts and ruins our society today, just like a car crash.
Terminally ill patients no longer wish to have their lives artificially prolonged by expensive, painful, or debilitating treatments and would rather die quietly. The patients do not wish to prolong their life and they may not wish to commit suicide themselves or worse, are physically incapable of doing so. People have the right to their own destiny and living in the U.S we have acquired freedom. The patients Right to Self Determination Act gives the patient the power to decide how, when and why they choose to die. In "Editorial Exchange: Death with Dignity: Reopen Assisted-Suicide Debate." The Canadian Press Sep 27 2013 ProQuest. 7 June 2015” Doctor Donald Low and his terminally ill friends plea to physician assisted suicide in an online video. He states that it is their rights as cancer patients to make the decision to pass, but he is denied. Where is the equality? Patients who are on dialysis or hooked up to respirators have the choice to end their lives by ending treatment. However, patients who are not dependent on life support cannot choose when they can pass. Many patients feel that because of their illness that life is not worth living for and that life has already been taken from them due to lack of activities they can perform. Most of the terminally ill patients are bedridden with outrageous amounts of medication and they don’t want family members having to care for them
Even thought people imagined that, there’s a greater chance that Jesse and his gang kept the money for themselves. By the middle of his career the Jesse Gang was the MOST feared in the American Old West, with about 20 trains, banks, and northern stagecoach robberies. Even thought they had stolen an estimated 200,000 dollars stolen, the brothers turned into legends of their own time, popular in Missouri, trying to further the confederate causes.
A tragedy is a wretched event that puts a person in despair. Tragedy is a genre which consists of continuous tragic happenings that ultimately lead to an unhappy ending. Arthur Miller expresses that what makes a tragic hero is their attempt to take fate into their own hands, which ends up being the reason for their ruin; while those who accept their fates tend to be the lucky and are spared a demise. Miller claims there are tragic consequences for a man who questions his position, regardless of whether he wants more or thinks he deserve less. The film, Crash, is an example of a tragedy, because one character tries to alter their own fate, and other characters have reservations of where they lie on the social spectrum.
The right to assisted suicide is a significant topic that concerns people all over the United States. The debates go back and forth about whether a dying patient has the right to die with the assistance of a physician. Some are against it because of religious and moral reasons. Others are for it because of their compassion and respect for the dying. Physicians are also divided on the issue. They differ where they place the line that separates relief from dying--and killing. For many the main concern with assisted suicide lies with the competence of the terminally ill. Many terminally ill patients who are in the final stages of their lives have requested doctors to aid them in exercising active euthanasia. It is sad to realize that these people are in great agony and that to them the only hope of bringing that agony to a halt is through assisted suicide.When people see the word euthanasia, they see the meaning of the word in two different lights. Euthanasia for some carries a negative connotation; it is the same as murder. For others, however, euthanasia is the act of putting someone to death painlessly, or allowing a person suffering from an incurable and painful disease or condition to die by withholding extreme medical measures. But after studying both sides of the issue, a compassionate individual must conclude that competent terminal patients should be given the right to assisted suicide in order to end their suffering, reduce the damaging financial effects of hospital care on their families, and preserve the individual right of people to determine their own fate.

After all these years, racism and prejudices are still present in our society. It seems as though there is not a day that goes by without seeing a story about a racially fueled crime or act of discrimination on the news. As much as people would like to believe that racism no longer exist and that stereotyping and racial profiling do not happen on a daily basis, the truth of the matter is that these prejudices are still very existent today. In the 2004 movie Crash, the lives of several Los Angeles citizens intertwine when faced with racism, stereotyping and crime.
The day his family was murdered, the last words exchanged between he and his mother and sister went along the lines of “Go to hell… get out of here!” (Wonderland, 18) so you can only imagine how guilty Jesse felt about saying “goodbye” to his mother and sister in such a hostile way. With that guilt still hanging on his shoulders, Jesse realized that he could release himself and his emotions to Anne Marie through sex and affection, which for a while seemed to be working out great for him. But once it became obvious that Jesse was becoming over attached to Anne Marie by constantly stalking her and always being suspicious of her daily, and when she later said to him “I’m afraid of you… Jesse, please don’t hurt me…” (Wonderland, 213), Jesse’s relationship with her was beginning to go in a downward spiral. Once Jesse realized that he no longer truly loved Anne Marie anymore, he was still intending on marrying her because he still yearned for having a companion to be with for the rest of his life, but once she got the gist that Jesse no longer loved her, she left him. But it turns out that having Anne Marie no longer involved in Jesse’s life would lead on to something even better for Jesse’s sake, because shortly after Anne Marie left, he met a women named

Should a patient have the right to ask for a physician’s help to end his or her life? This question has raised great controversy for many years. The legalization of physician assisted suicide or active euthanasia is a complex issue and both sides have strong arguments. Supporters of active euthanasia often argue that active euthanasia is a good death, painless, quick, and ultimately is the patient’s choice. While it is understandable, though heart-rending, why a patient that is in severe pain and suffering that is incurable would choose euthanasia, it still does not outweigh the potential negative effects that the legalization of euthanasia may have. Active euthanasia should not be legalized because
