    Who has True Grit

    Mattie Ross is a smart, competent and independent young lady. A person would think she's the average young lady from the western times that stays home to chores, but no not Mattie. Physically, Mattie is a clean cut, clothing neat and in order kinda girl. But when she is able to speak her mind there is no holding back what she thinks. Mattie is on a mission and explains to Stonehill, “I have hopes that the marshals will get him soon, His name is Tom Chaney. He worked for us. I am trying to get action. I aim to see him shot or hanged” (pg 33). She is somewhat of a strange and rare character, being all of 14 years of age yet with such head strong determination to have Chaney killed. Mattie sets off on a bone chilling journey of revenge and is faced with many obstacles that should send her home crying. Instead Mattie’s confidence and abilities to stand her own in such a hostile, male dominated land get her through the daily life-threatening occurrences. Mattie endured plenty of trials and tribulations, there was one point where Mattie recalls “I was so mad I must have cried a little but it was a cold night and by the time I reached the Monarch my anger had cooled to the point where I could think straight and lay plans (Portis).…

    Down a Dark Hall

    Rising Action-Each new student held some talent in addition to their imaginations. Lynda Hannah became into the next Van Gogh, Ruth can perform and solve complicated math problems, and Sandy writes detailed poetry, this being odd because none of them had been able to do these things before. Kit discovers her inner specialty as well, composing wonderful piano music. Ruth had identified this as "ESP" or extra-sensory perception, and is excited, but Kit is further disturbed, especially after waking up to playing the piano with Jules recording it, confirming her earlier suspicions of hearing music she recognized from somewhere else. After investigating, Kit learns that past students at Blackwood were famous artists who died young and continued their contributions of creativity by using the current students as puppets. Kit asks Natalie, the maid, who had tried to help but was subsequently let go by the seemingly nice instructor, taking a letter from Kit to Tracy. Of the twenty former students, three committed suicide, one fell from the third floor of a building (considered an accident), and the other sixteen students were put in insane asylums.…

    Escape Fire Analysis

    The documentary, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, criticizes the current healthcare system designed for profit maximization, a physician’s dilemma between financial incentives and professionalism, and quick fixes rather than prevention of illness. The U.S. government spends $2.7 trillion annually on healthcare, and pharmaceutical drugs account for $300 billion, almost as much as the rest of the world combined (Escape Fire). The mindset that drugs are the only appropriate way to treat disease is invalid. Physician salaries are driven by the number of treatments and drugs that are prescribed and administered. The U.S. healthcare system is a business model where economic…
