Cole has always been pugnacious--easy to madden, and grudge-holding. Brought up by his abusive father and alcoholic mother, he has never known anything but contretemps. His behavioral issues have definitely contributed to his fails and triumphs of banishment. From the first day, he only wanted to get out of jail, thinking that banishment would be the easy way out. His pissy attitude obviously made it difficult for him to survive, even for a couple of weeks on the island. Many would argue that if he had a change of heart (ie a more optimistic attitude) that he would have changed (faster). There have been various junctures throughout the book where Cole has had some definite failures. A specific example is when he attempts not once, but twice

I completely agree with Gorge and Noel. This is such sad story, Law enforcement officers are the one, present for justice they should not lie like that also all the people who had adequacy in this case should make a better observation and confirm everything, because in the end it leads to Mr. Gate, who was innocent have to serve 30 years of his life in the prison. Yeah, 16.65 millions are the huge amount of money that Mr. Gate may not make it in his lifetime, but I believe nothing could pay off the title of "killer" and the time he had served in the prison.
The agreement of the members of the circle is that Cole broke his contract with the circle, so he should be returned to the criminal justice system. However, at that moment Edwin walks in, arriving from
Cs - These three incidents cause Dunstan lifelong internal battles that he has trouble shaking off.
What Cole needs is simply a friend. I say this because he needs that sense of trust. He doesn’t have parents that he can trust and can bond with. I feel that him being on the island instead of going to jail, and Garvey giving him the a.toow and the opportunity to go through circle justice gives him that feeling of trust and that feeling that someone actually cares for him. In chapter 13, when Cole is of the island it says that Cole lets go of the a.toow and grips onto Garvey’s arm and Garvey says,”I’m not going anywhere me. Rosey and I will be here with you all night.” After that Cole thanks him.To me that is very important. This shows that Cole has trust for Garvey and is starting to form that bond that he
Response to “Bring Back Flogging” 1. Jeff Jacoby is a writer for The Boston Globe and was first to receive the Breindal Prize in 1999. However, I agree that we should bring back flogging for only the misdemeanor cases and cutting down cost in prisons. Summary
I think that Intrinsic factors, such as mindset, and drive, had the most impact in how each Wes turned out. Many people argue that the most impacts are opportunities and family support. What this argument fails to consider is both Wes’s had opportunities and supporters but only one used their last opportunity to do something good in life and be successful and the other one didn’t which is why he is locked up for life.
In the text, the intrinsic factor that most influences the author is perseverance, while the intrinsic factor that most influences Wes is motivation. Early in the book we find out that the author’s father died and that his mother wasn’t “coping well with her husband’s death” she was “losing her grip.” (Moore, 37) And very soon after she’d realized that she moved everyone from Maryland to the Bronx in New York. The author was “apprehensive about moving away from my (his) friends, from the only world I’d (he’d) known.” (Moore, 38) But still after his father’s death and moving so quickly from Maryland he was motivated and tried his best and later went on to do big things despite what would effect a lot of kids’ attitude on life. The intrinsic factor that affected Wes was motivation. He lacked motivation to be a better person even after he was arrested for carrying a knife to “send a message” (Moore, 34) to a kid who tried to mess with him and after “Tony tried to keep Wes in school and away from the drug game for as long as Wes could remember” (Moore, 71) But Wes continued to deal drugs and get arrested for trying to assault a person (and other reasons). These intrinsic factors are about the same thing but the author didn’t let obstacles get in the way of perseverance and Wes lacked in
However, even after his positive experience at Job Corps, Moore was so scarred by the environment in which he was raised that he ended up in prison for life without parole. Because the two Wes Moores had such different friends, they ended up becoming separate people and experienced differing levels of success in their lives.
Coles thrive to make itself a better shopping and working place, therefore they lay stress on achieving the goal i.e.
I do not believe Colton harris-moore deliberately chose a life of crime, however, I do believe his childhood played a significant role in establishing his criminal pursuits. throughout Colton's criminal proceedings his lawyer argued that, although, Colton had committed several criminal offenses throughout his life, he was simply a product of a broken home. Colton was a victim to alcohol before he was even born, his mother was an alcoholic, and drank while she was pregnant, and her alcoholic abuse continued throughout Colton's childhood. So in closing, I believe Colton harris-moore did not deliberately choose a life of crime. I believe it all begin as a means of survival, that eventually adapted into a new way of life, the only way of life,

I feel that Mr. McWilliams was beaten before he was killed because they wanted him to suffer for the wrong thing that he had done. The offenders wanted to truly torture him and show him that he was not in control and that he had made a huge mistake by crossing them. Unlike, a lot of killings he was beaten with metal pipes about the head, face, arms, hand and kneecaps. Therefore, the killers wanted to truly make him feel pain and torture him as a sign of either his disloyalty or disrespect. Furthermore, when a person is tortured in such a way it is a sign to let others know not to do what this person done or the same will happen to you or worse.
Colton Harris Moore also know as the ‘Barefoot Bandit’ was a teenage criminal why did he choose this life of crime. I think it was his parental figures in his life that neglected him and abused him. His friends could have influenced it. The frontal cortex of his brain not being fully developed could have fueled his urge for the life of crime. From his parental figures, to his friends influence, and his brain development at the time this is what influence his life of crime.
In premodern times banishment was a particularly dreadful punishment since it not only meant years of aimless wandering away from family and familiar places, but also meant being a sort of permanent outcast, someone who never felt at home, and was always at odds with the environment, inconsolable about the past, bitter about the present and the future. There has always been an association between the idea of exile and the terrors of being a leper, a social and moral
