Over the course of reading Assuming Names: A Con Artist's Masquerade, I learned different characteristics about the personality of the main character - Tanya Thompson. Using the knowledge of what her interests are, I have gathered five books I believe would appeal to her charming personality. Adrenaline by Jeff Abbott is a fiction story belonging to the Sam Capra Series. I believe my character, Tanya Thompson, would love this book because she is a complete adrenaline junky. From lying about her identity, to motorcycle rides with strangers, Tanya has done anything she possibly could to get that high adrenaline provides. Therefore, a riveting story of true love, family, and a stable job lost in an instant due to a horrific accident blamed on the main character, Sam Capra, would be absolutely perfect for her! Plus, I’m sure she …show more content…
Night Shift is rated 4.5 stars on Amazon, but I am confident that it will be a five out of five for Tanya! She says that she is not easily scared, so I thought I would add a little bit of flavor to her book choices and give her something different. By different, I mean she will be absolutely terrified to leave her house! This book contains 20 ghastly short stories, and might I add, just the description was enough to give me chills. Even though this story is a little outside her comfort zone, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tanya became a regular in the horror section of the book store after reading this. Plus, with the fact that there are many stories, she wouldn’t get bored of the same plot line dragging on for 200 pages. Instead, you are introduced to new scenarios, that keep you flipping through the book faster than Tanya flies through fake identities! In a nutshell, I think these five books would be perfect for Tanya. If I knew her personally, I would undoubtedly make a recommendation for each one of these to

This is a story of twists and turns from the criminal underworld. It involves a closely-knit group that sells poison to unsuspecting victims as an alternative medicine. They have labeled their so-called medicine as "M.M.S", which they state represents either "Miracle Mineral Solution" or "Miracle Mineral Supplement". It is neither a supplement nor a mineral. It 's chlorine bleach. This disturbing topic has been covered here, at The Health Wyze Report, on multiple occasions, but now raids have finally begun, and as a result, more information about the operation of these criminals has become available.
Night is a very good book because it actually shows someone’s experience in the Holocaust unlike school history books. Because of this book, we know have a better understanding of what happened in the camps. We know more about the process of the evacuations and how they actually treated them.

Many individuals have flashbacks after experiencing trauma. Survivors of such horrible traumas sometimes can act out in violence, after something triggers them to remember the ordeal. The novel The Suspect by L.R. Wright, offers a realistic account of what goes on in the mind of an individual who has committed murder. Throughout the novel, I made connections to many real life examples of how trauma has affected the lives of criminals and their victims, through either alcohol or mental illness. Individuals affected by this sort of trauma can seek medical or social help in order to be able to learn how to cope with daily living.
In “Young Goodman Brown,” Nathaniel Hawthorne portrays a married man disillusioned by the townspeople’s complicity in evil. In the tale, Brown discovers that every wholesome person he knows, including his wife, are in league with the devil. His life after the night that he discovers this truth is one of cynicism and depression, as he regards everyone to be a facade of who they truly are. Conventional wisdom would uphold this condemnation of dishonesty. However, in Judith Viorst’s “The Truth About Lying,” she presents a reality where various types of dishonesty-social, peacekeeping, protective, trust-keeping- are necessary. I believe that lying is morally right only if it facilitates harmonious social interactions between people. Lies meant
This study will compare and contrast the elements of the crime genre in Winter’s Bone (2010) by Debra Granik and The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. Winter’s Bone is a story tells the story of Ree Dolly’s (Jennifer Lawrence) struggle to find her missing father through various methods of detective work in her local community. In a similar manner, Raymond Chandler’s novel The Big Sleep defines the criminal investigation of various murders by the detective, Phillip Marlowe. These two plots define the similar use of a protagonist that acts as an investigator seeking to discover the truth of a particular
Fraud is defined as a deliberate misrepresentation that causes a person or business to suffer damages, often in the form of monetary losses through deception or concealment. And Occupational Fraud as defined by the ACFE is the use of one’s occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate misuse or misapplication of the employing organization’s resources or assets. Traditional fraud triangle theory by Donald Cressey explains that propensity of fraud occurring in an organization lies on three critical elements which are Pressure, Opportunity, and Rationalization.
White Collar Crime by Edwin Sutherland, published in 1949, is a study in the theory of criminal behaviour. Sutherland states that this book is an attempt to reform the theory of criminal behaviour only, not to reform anything else. And although it may include implications for social reforms, this is not the objective of the book. Sutherland define white collar crime as ‘a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation’ (pp. 9). He adds that it excludes many crimes of the upper class, such as murder, intoxication, and adultery, because these are not usually part of their occupational procedures. He goes on to describe white collar crime as being similar to juvenile delinquency in the sense of the stigma generated from each crime. In both of these crimes the procedures of criminal law are altered so as not to attach stigma to the offenders. Finally, Sutherland writes that crimes are committed across all social classes, not just people in lower classes or living in poverty, contrary to popular belief at the time of publication.
“I always quarrel with my mother. She will hurt me cruelly and then say sorry. I can’t bear this torture. I have to adjust my personality to live with her.”
I am pretty sure everyone had been a phony person before. A phony person means the person who is not acting their true self, acting fake which is not real. I had been that kind of person before. When I want to get help from someone, I usually act like a sycophant, and say something that makes that person feels good by act very nice to him and say he is very cool, so I can get help from him, but when I don’t need help from that person, I don’t really talk to him, I just walk pass through him and not even say a “hi”. When someone doesn’t help me while I ask him for help, I will talk behind his back and tell other people how bad is he, which makes people think that they should not be friend with that person. This makes me like a phony person because
If you really want to know one of the reasons this school is so horrible and I told you a little bit about it already but it is because every other person is either a liar or a phony. I walk around all day with this kid Thomas, he’s not even really my friend I just have no one else to walk with. Anyway, when people see him they think he’s probably the coolest kid around with his wavy hair and always has to wear his football jacket. Every girl is always dying over him and giving him these crappy dreamy eyes, well truth be told he’s the biggest phony I’ve ever met. He’s secretly really gross, like the other day we were walking down the hall and the hottest girl in school looked at him and he gave her a wink and she went away with the biggest smile I’ve
