A nineteen-and-a-half year old white woman named Mayella Ewell and her father filed a rape charge against a maimed black man.The courtroom was packed to the brim with white and black viewers.

    Summary Of The Book 'Killjoy Hunting'

    In the readings for this week Sara Ahmed discusses how to build a “killjoy survival kit” as well as the significance of a “killjoy manifesto”. The purpose of a killjoy manifesto is to point out what is already present in society. The reason why the burden falls on the feminist is because of the power struggle between the people who built the institutions and are consequently impervious to them and those who want to expose these institution, the feminist killjoy. Throughout this book the author uses the term “killjoy” to describe the sentiment a person feels when they expose barriers, violence and inequality to the people around them. Yet, what struck me the most in this reading was the topic of happiness. A survival kit is necessary because…

Within the train stations and airports, they are trampled by different people clearly looking to make money off the ignorance of foreigners.

    The Execution Clifford Boggess: Movie Analysis

    This previous week we watched a film in class called The Execution of Clifford Boggess. In the beginning I believe Clifford Boggess to be a regular individual. Actually Clifford Bogess graduated with honors, was also a talented piano player who played at weddings, and he also went to church faithfully. He was a normal individual that you wouldn’t even expect to commit crimes like these. On June 18th, 1988 a man by the name of Clifford Holt Boggess was born. Clifford Boggess was a lower class Caucasian male. When Boggess committed his first murder he was only twenty one years old. Boggess had been saving money for college until the car that he was driving needed to be replaced. Boggess was an unemployed individual and needed fast cash.…

    12 Angry Men Chapter 13 Summary

    In chapter 13, the boys are faced with their first battle, and are exceedingly nervous. When they get the order originating from the corporal to take pills, they don’t hesitate to take them, for their superior officer has ordered it. The fact that Beah chooses to utilize the words ‘secretive smile’ illustrates consonance and adds significance, creating a negative or sly connotation. The soldier exploited the higher power of the corporal in order to induce the boys into taking drugs. The control of the drugs assists the boys in battle, making them ‘high’ and aiding them in the slaughter of others. The drug high causes the boys to become oblivious to the sins they are committing, instead focusing on the ebullition of destroying the enemy. Since…

    Killings By Andre Dubus Summary

    Harry Dresden was going to dinner with Karrin Murphy. A relationship that remained platonic for 12 books even though the characters were in love, and then Dresden gets shot through the chest and falls dead into Lake Michigan (Butcher). 12 years of refusing to act led to inner pain for the pair even after the return of Dresden from the death-like state he was in. Andre Dubus’ Killings is a story of acting on ones feelings, and not waiting for everything to just fix itself. The story constantly is mentioning conflicting aspect of action and inaction, then the idea of acting when you can sets the scene for the resolution, which is shown by Matt, the main character, putting a bullet in the head of his son’s killer.

Schools face a bigger problem staying neutral since they must protect students’ rights, as well as maintaining order for the entire school.

    Chapter 16 starts with the narrator and Chris begins their trek into the mountains. The difficult route reminds the narrator of the philosophical terrain Phaedrus trekked in search of Quality. On this mental journey, Phaedrus becomes frustrated at his inability to define Quality so he turns to a non-metaphysical explanation that revolves around his teachings.

    Saturday at the Canal Analysis

    Connotation- The symbolic choice of choosing Saturday, as the day in the poem, makes me think that the poet wants to give an extra to the poem. Saturday is the day that is culturaly used to party out and have fun, but this teenagers, are not. The poet gives you a sensation of lonelyness. Also, the phrase used, by the poet " San Francisco was a postcard on a bedrrom wall" makes you feel a sensation of unreacheble. That phrase makes me feel that San Francisco is only a dream or something they know they can 't be.…
