Johnny Cade did not kill unlawfully and also he can’t apply for a minor committing the crime because he’s 16, one year over the limit. According to Oklahoma law, first-degree murder is a person “unlawfully and with malice aforethought causes the death of another human being.” It is also not manslaughter because it is not a homicide committed without a design to effect death and in the heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual manner, or by means of a dangerous weapon. Johnny did not have time to think and had to stab Bob to save Ponyboy’s life. Ponyboy was being drowned and to save him, Johnny had to commit the act of homicide. It lists that it was a justifiable homicide because it means that homicide is legal when committed in the lawful

Boone was born in Berks County Pennsylvania to Quaker parents. Boone’s family was later prosecuted for their beliefs as Quakers. Boone loved the outdoors and hunting was one of his many specialties. Hunting was very important because that was there food at the time which was accumulated from hunting. At a very young age he set out in the wilderness to shoot his first bear he was not scared but determined to kill it. This caused him to become a “talented woodsman and hunter”. (Biography.com) “Boone learned to read and write from his mother, and his father taught him wilderness survival skills”.

I believe that Charles Foster Kane could’ve been a good person, but ended going down the wrong path. He was given a large sum of money when he became an adult, but in return basically had his childhood stolen from him (Hughes). His mother wanted him to live the rich life instead of in a little town where she was living and to eventually inherit her recently found fortune (Hughes). When he was given this money, he let it take over his life and lost sense of how he should behave. Because of this, I do not personally like Charles Kane due to how he let the money affect his decisions.

Lynn Nolan Ryan, Jr. was born on January 31, 1947, in Refugio, Texas, to Lynn Nolan Ryan, Sr. and Martha Lee Hancock Ryan, and was the youngest of six children. Six weeks after Nolan was born, the family moved to Alvin, Texas. As a child, Nolan was known for his throwing arm and his keen sense of sight. He helped his dad deliver "The Houston Post" every morning, a job that you have to wake up at 1am. Nolan joined the Alvin Little League Baseball when he was nine, pitching his first no-hitter years later, and making the All-Star team at ages 11 and 12. He played baseball at Alvin High School, and in 1963, New York Mets Scout Red Murff saw Nolan pitch and later reported to the Mets, "Has the best arm I've seen in my life." In 1965, The New

To this day the circumstances of Chris’s death, if he jumped from the truck or if it was just a tragic accident brought on by a brain disease, nobody knows. Chris Henry’s tragic story, just one example of a former athlete’s life ending due to tragic circumstances. A twelve year veteran of the Minnesota Vikings, Fred McNeill, went on to finish law school after his retirement from the NFL. He was

On July 22, 1730 Daniel Carroll was born at Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Daniel Carroll came from an Irish descent. His family was one of the United States’ great wealthy colonial catholic families. His brother, John Carroll, became the first Roman Catholic Bishop in the United States.

Brigadier General Benjamin McCulloch was born to Frances F McCulloch, the daughter of an esteemed Virginian Planter mother, and Alexander McCulloch, a Major of the staff of Brig. Gen. John Coffee. His father was also an attendant and graduate of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. He was born on November 11, 1811. He was the fourth child of a once prestigious family that had lost a large amount of money because of the Revolutionary War. While this was one factor, the father, Alexander McCulloch, was a large part of the problem. He was irresponsible when deciding on what to do with his inherited fortune and in return cost his family many luxuries that they could have had. While young, McCulloch and his family moved often between Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina. Their last place of settlement was in a town in Tennessee called Dyersburg. Here he had met David Crocket who acted as one of his close mutual friends, and thus his career began.

[J]oined the local militia, fought in the Battles of Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and Lexington, and rose to the rank of captain in the Fifth Massachusetts Regiment. He was wounded in battle and never got paid for his military service. When in 1780 he returned home to Brookfield, a rural area west of Boston, he found that he was being taken to court for debts that went unpaid while he was off fighting the war. Since he had not been compensated for his service, he had no way of paying these debts.

The actions of Shay’s Rebellion did not go too far. Many farmers in Western Massachusetts were previously soldiers in the Continental Army. These farmers were now being met with unfair demands from Massachusetts merchants. When they could not live up to the demands, their land and possessions were taken and they could be thrown in jail. Many farmers such as Daniel Shay were previous members on the Continental Army, in which they received little pay for their contributions.

I believe that Shay’s actions were absolutely necessary because we fought against Britain who was doing the exact same thing as congress. They needed funds after the french and indian war just like we did, and they taxed us to cover the costs just like we tried not to do, but ultimately failed. As it states on pg. 195 of the textbook, “After the revolutionary war, the United States experienced a depression, a period when economic activity slows and unemployment increases,” meaning that the newborn nation has a new demand for resources, money, cooperation, and agreement. However I do believe that, while necessary, was a little overboard. I do believe that what he did was needed but to do it in such a manner that you almost start a revolutionary

After being sued by settlers in Kentucky Daniel Boone moved to Point Pleasant in what is now West Virginia. He served as a lieutenant colonel and legislative of his county. After serving in those two positions he moved to Missouri where he settled in Femme Osage valley where he continue to roam and hunt until he died on September 26, 1820. About two decades after his death Daniel Boone's body was exhumed and reburied in

Would you work for a government that expected you to put your life in jeopardy, did not pay you for your service and then try to seize your house and property to settle your debts? This is exactly what Daniel Shays’ government tried to do to him after returning home injured during the Revolutionary War. So why did he choose the path and become a member of the military? He didn’t, he had little choice due to financial debts! He was like many other young Americans at the time; without land to farm and continually hiring himself out to make a living. He eventually joining the local Massachusetts Militia to pick up some extra pay and expand his skill sets. Much can be said about this man, was he a visionary leader? In Main
