“If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.” This quote was said by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. James Earl Ray was the man in charge of taking the life of this amazing man.

The murder of an American patriot, Martin Luther King Jr., caused James Earl Ray to leave a legacy of hatred, which has left disgrace upon his name.

Capote shows us how the events of the book affected the mental state of Alvin Dewey. "Hickock and Smith! But the moment of recognition was mutual. Those boys smelled danger. Feet first, they crashed through the Trail Room's plate-glass window, and with Duntz and Dewey leaping after them, sped along Main Street, past Palmer Jewelry, Norris Drugs, the Garden Cafe, then around the corner and down to the depot and in and out, hide-and-seek, among a congregation of white grain-storage towers. Dewey drew a pistol, and so did Duntz, but as they took aim, the supernatural intervened. Abruptly, mysteriously (it was like a dream!) (196). "The next thing was, suddenly Alvin had hold of me, he was hugging me, and I said, 'Alvin Dewey, have you lost your

Tom Buchanan, from the book The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald, is a very unique character. Tom is Daisy’s incredibly rich husband. He lives with her in their exquisite mansion in the East Egg, and is described by nick as “one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savours of anti-climax.” This quote refers to the years when he played football for Hew Haven, where Tom and Nick went to college. Nick suspects that “Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.”

Many people in the army feel guilty. They regret all the murders. They see the people they killed everywhere. In their dreams, outside, shadows, they are forever haunted with the faces of the dead. Christopher Lane, a boy with a broken background, is haunted by the killed. After accidentally murdering Mortimer Genever, (vowing to get his revenge) his twin brother Ernest runs away. Showing great determination, hopefulness, and honesty, Chris tracks Ernest down, to apologize for the mistaken murder.

“The third stage of narrative development was characterized by the appearance of rogues… relying on cleverness more than force, and motivated more by profits than by passion” (Williams 14). Rogues defied whatever came in between their pursuit, whether it be law or authority (Williams 14). In the third stage of criminal literature, the protagonists were all rogues despite of their unlawfully ways, they “aroused reader sympathy” (Williams 16). Williams described these rogues as “outsiders, existing apart from the social structure either by choice or by fate” (William 16). He also described these rogues as “individualistic, opportunistic, self-reliant” as well as “defiant of authority and entirely free” (Williams 16). William argues that the evolution of these narratives took place in three stages: the first being the “early execution sermons and final confessions”, the second being “the incomplete narratives of life and, finally the full length rogue narrative” (Williams 17). Williams’ article describes how criminal literature changed from “promoting obedience, [to] encouraged defiance” (Williams

One of the main characters in the book, Read Between The Lines, is Nathan Granger. Nathan Granger came in the story in chapter one on page 1-44. A few things I learned from this character is that he is a freshman in Irving High. He is fourteen years old. Nathan also doesn’t like gym or sports.

Lou Brock’s famous quote, “show me a guy who’s afraid to look bad, and I’ll show you a guy you can beat every time”, can easily be applied to Silo. Silo is the exact opposite of what Lou Brock is warning everyone not to become. Silo simply does not care what opinions other people form about him, on or off the field, as long as he is winning. When Silo is on the field, he goes to great lengths in order to not look good, but to win football games.

In order to better understand the serial killer, Buffalo Bill, we must first understand what motivates him to kill. I will be using three theses to state my claims in this paper and they are the following: Thesis 1: The Monster's Body is a Cultural Body, Thesis 2: The Monster Always Escapes, and Thesis 4: The Monster Dwells at the Gates of Difference. The purpose of this paper is to dissect Buffalo Bill's monstrosity and to examine what sets him apart from the rest of society. I intend to argue that Buffalo Bill is indeed an insecure murderer.

This is noted when “Pierce had a moment of profound rage that this final step in the plan should be, in the end, the only thing to go irretrievably wrong. The fact that the error was entirely his own doing merely increased his fury” (222). Pierce’s arrogance is noted by his increased fury with himself in that the possibility of an error was his doing and not that of one of his cronies. By the end of the novel, Agar confessed to the robbery and incriminated Pierce. As Pierce was being apprehended, he greeted Agar amiably and stated, “Turned nose, did you?” with which Pierce replied, “Doesn’t matter, I’ve thought of this as well, you know.” (250). Once again, Pierce was able to demonstrate both his masterful ways and daring nature in his escape from

I believe the quotation given means that it is better to face your decisions and their consequences directly than to live feeling incomplete in regards to these choices you’ve made. Frank is saying that Eldon being hurt either physically or emotionally if he decides to go back to visit his mother is better than the negative feelings that would (and did) follow him for the rest of his life if he does not return home at all. I agree with Franklin that it is best to deal with your issues and their consequences without delay rather than to keep them inside and go on with life feeling an array of emotions.

Notwithstanding devoting his life to being a thief, Pierce betrays the location of the money before he betrays Miss Meriam. While in custody Pierce is questioned persistently, but never strays from his answer, “I don’t know” (Crichton 253). One final time he is questioned on Meriam and the moneys’ whereabouts. But he only answers one of the questions. He betrays the moneys’ location through answering, “In a crypt, in Saint John’s Wood.” (254). Being the criminal mastermind that Pierce is he must consider every detail of the crime in conjunction with the accomplices involved. Through this knowledge the reader can infer that Pierce knows exactly where Miriam is hiding, but still does not
