Iris was pressured by her father to marry the wealthy Richard Griffen after the Great Depression devastated her family’s business. Soon after Iris weds, her father dies, leaving Iris and her younger sister Laura to the luxurious tyranny of life with Richard. Iris engages in an affair with Alex Thomas, a unionist on the run and friend of the sisters, to escape from what became a restrictive, abusive marriage to Richard, but Richard sends Laura off to a mental institution after she rebels against him, and Alex dies in World War II. After the war ends Iris reveals her affair and Alex’s death to Laura, who apparently had feelings for him as well, prompting Laura to commit suicide.

Ever since, Iris has kept the truth about her marriage and her culpability in her sister’s death secret. Iris reveals in her narrative the truth that had been hidden from the public for so long, struggling with her repressed guilt and painful memories to find some sort of reconciliation.

The assassination role play game played at St.Ann’s private school and other American schools is a fun learning experience for kids. At the end of the school year, high school students in groups complete “assassinations” assigned to them by a judge. The harmless “assassinations” are done by shooting the opponent with a water gun. This continues until only one team remains and they are rewarded with the winner's pot that each team contributed twenty dollars too. This organised and safe game should be allowed to continue and is a great lesson for kids.

Plot is defined as, "the authors arrangement of incidents in a story it is the organizing principle that controls the controls the order of events (Meyer,64)." The element of plot is heavily relied on in the short story, "The Killings" by Andre Dubus. The plot which is completely made inside the imagination of an author (Meyer,64), gives the audience important insight to people, places, and events in the story (Meyer,64) . "The Killings" provides a somewhat conventional plot pattern, where the character is confronted with a problem and is then led into a climax, which late leads to the resolution of the story (Meyer,65). The conventional plot is easy to follow and serves as a basis for movies and other

Assassinations and targeted killings have been topics vastly debated around the world throughout history. As a matter of fact, this matter can be discussed through the eyes of Michael Walzer from a just war theory perspective. This viewpoint can be used in order to explain just assassinations of political and military leaders as well as other individuals. For example, a person can be the victim of targeted killings if their death would result in less future violence or warfare. However, the individual must pose an imminent threat, capture is not feasible, and the operation is executed in observance of the applicable laws of war. Yet the burden of proof and responsibility resides with those in highest power since it is their duty to maintain order among everyone below them. As a result, only those in power can decide who is assassinated and for what reason. All arguments against this belief can be annihilated by the fact that targeted killing will lower the chances of further combatant and civilian casualties. Ultimately, just assassination or targeted killing are blameless if the outcome will create less vehemence.

The performance, Assassins, premiered last weekend was a must see for many students. Directed by Professor Lee Blair and choreographed by Professor General McArthur Hambrick, the show focuses on a group of people who have tried to assassinate many different Presidents of the United States. Instead of it being informative about these events, the performance went all out and made the story into a satire, or a form of mockery, about the kinds of people who wanted to murder a President. The show included a lot of humor, ironies, exaggerations, and ridiculous moments to exposed and criticize the reasonings for why they even wanted to kill them in the first place.
