I promise we weren’t text and driving. I had both phones in my lap while Regina drove. We were talking about the movie we had planned to see this coming weekend. That’s when I looked up and saw the truck starting to swerve. I told Regina to be careful and to just let it pass us since the roads where still slippery from the snow fall earlier that morning. I can't remember anything after that I'm sorry "I said to the police officer as she wrote down my statement. "Do you have any family I could call for you" she said. I didn't answer, I just shook my head dismissing her question. I hear this constant ringing in my ears. I cup both my ears trying to minimize the noise. The ringing continues to linger back and forth from one ear to the …show more content…
The only reason I’m not laying in Regina’s place right now is because I wore my seat belt and she didn’t. There for she went through the sunroof and onto the pavement. She’s lucky the cars didn’t physically run her over on the interstate. After the first check in, the Police officer comes back into my room hoping I have a little more to remember. “Hey Silvia, how are you feeling, remember anything else?” She said. I held my eye shut trying to block the ringing out hoping I can remember a little more detail. “The truck was brown, or black, or maybe ever blue. It was dark, it had swerved a couple times behind us trying to pass us on the Icey road. I felt the trucks front fender hit us as we caught a patch of black ice throwing us into the guardrail. The next thing I know I am being talked to by a lady in the ambulance telling me to stay calm.” I said. “Thank you so much, you’re doing great. I will check in with you in the morning, my condolences are with you and Regina” she said. The night falls and my eyes are quickly fading. After the long exhausting, few days’ a good night’s sleep is all I needed. Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Regina’s monitor started going off. I looked over at her. Her body is moving, but she isn’t waking up. What is going on? Nurse Nancy runs in with four other doctors. One pushing a crash cart. “Push on of Epi” one of the doctors said. “1, 2, 3 CLEAR” another doctor shouted. I watch as my best friend lays stone-cold
It came at a lightning pace and hit you from behind leaving you lying across the edge of the path. I hardly had the chance to stop and take a breath before thinking the worst, you didn’t stand a chance, you were taken off your feet and left for dead, you were motionless and bleeding; but I had to take a chance, I had to do something, I had to try and save you. I sped across the road to your body, checked you had a pulse, before gently moving you over to the side. I was more interested in knowing you were alive before I even thought about calling an ambulance. We were miles from the public streets and houses, no one-else could help. The minutes waiting for help felt like hours; I could feel myself fading away as I could see you slowly deteriorating. I held my hand on yours and held it against your heart, just so that we both knew you were still breathing; silly I know, but it was the encouragement we both needed whilst we waited for salvation. I was in such panic and to be honest, I was an emotional wreck; but you needed a rock so I said with everything I had in me, and beyond my own intuitions; everything’s going to be alright, everything’s going to be ok you know.
The Holocaust can be seen as one of the most devastating genocide that occurred in history and that is well known in many places worldwide. One may assume that those who played a part in the acts done by the Nazis in Germany may have been mentally disturbed and/or sick, evil people. However, the novel Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher R. Browning provides another alternative to this statement. Browning provides the reader with the idea that anyone is capable of becoming a murderer, especially when the opportunity presents itself. In his book he attempts to prove this statement through multiple ideas and theories and also provides events which took place to analyze some of those ideas.

In Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s letter in the direction of Napoleon III regarding the banishment of the French creator Victor Hugo, she used many exceptional strategies to try and pardon Hugo. some of tries encompass Browning trying to belittle Napoleon and using sarcasm about how she thinks he's a robust chief but then gives his terrible movements. near the cease of the letter, however, Browning includes her admiration in the direction of Napoleon III. on this letter, Browning has more than one records and other points wherein she will use to counter Napoleon’s emotions dealing with victor Hugo. The English poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning honestly uses exceptional rhetorical techniques to petition Napoleon.
In the book Ordinary Men, Christopher Browning tackles the question of why German citizens engaged in nefarious behavior that led to the deaths of millions of Jewish and other minorities throughout Europe. The question of what drove Germans to commit acts of genocide has been investigated by numerous historians, but unfortunately, no overarching answer for the crimes has yet been decided upon. However, certain theories are more popular than others. Daniel Goldhagen in his book, Hitler’s Willing Executioners, has expounded that the nature of the German culture before the Second World War was deeply embedded in anti-Semitic fervor, which in turn, acted as the catalyst for the events that would unfold into the Holocaust. It is at this
I then remember about the other car. I look over to my left and my eyes widen. It was a light blue van, an older model. The whole front side from the bumper to the windshield wipers were crumbled like a piece of paper. There were two people in the front seat, one looked fine but the others head was resting against the wheel. My heart starts racing, wondering if anyone was hurt and if so how bad. I look back to my right to see Logan jumping out of the car see if everyone is alright. I tried to open the door but notice that the other car is keeping my door from opening. I look out at Logan and see him talking to the family, the car had two little kids, one boy and one girl, and also a toddler. I jump across to the other door and jump
Upon arrival I met with the victim, Isaac Higgins. Isaac had just been discharged from HRMC for a "Flash Burn" that affected his eyes. Isaac and his mother, Deanna Ahern, advised that while walking north out of the hospital a white truck "squealing its tires” turned the wrong direction at a fast speed and almost hit them. Deanna stated "My son and I had to jump out of the way" or they would have been "run over." Deanna stated she yelled at the driver of the truck "Hey, Watch out." to which the driver of the vehicle replied "Fuck you." Deanna stated the vehicle parked in front of the emergency
The men of Reserve Police Battalion 101 were just ordinary men, from a variety of backgrounds, education, and age. It would appear that they were not selected by any force other than random chance. Their backgrounds and upbringing, however, did little to prepare these men for the horrors they were to witness and participate in.
Christopher Browning is a historian on the holocaust and Nazi Germany. He is the Frank Porter Graham distinguished professor of history at the university of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are faced to deal with" (William Halsey). The same can be said about volatile men. This is the quote Christopher R. Browning thought of when he named this book. The men of the 101st battalion were rarely faced with decisions. Even if it had been proposed by Trapp the morning of Jozefow that "any of the older men who did not feel up to the task that lay before them could step out" (Browning, chapter 7, pg. 57), he didn't actually allow them any time to truly think about it. He brought it up moments before they were about to go out to the slaughter. They were blind-sided and the men who didn't want to risk the future of their jobs as policemen or the men
Peter Browning’s job is to revitalize a mature business in the face of serious competitive threats, but without discouraging the loyalty and morale of a family style culture. Market share of plastic bottles was growing fast and White Cap is losing customers due to that, so a change is necessary. However, few managers or employees at White Cap acknowledged the need for change and were resistant to change. Employees have been accustomed to a culture of little change, and consisted of years of rituals, ceremonies and traditions set by the White family. They are extremely loyal due to their expectation of job security and generous benefits. Browning was asked by Continental to
Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett was born March 6, 1806 in Durham, England to Edward Barrett Moulton-Barrett and Mary Graham Clarke. She was the eldest of twelve. Her father made the family fortune from a sugar plantation. In 1809, the Barretts moved to an estate called Hope End in England. Elizabeth Barrett’s childhood was spent happily at the family’s home in England. She had no formal education, learning solely from her brother’s tutor and from her continuous reading. She managed over the years to learn Greek, Latin, Hebrew, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. She learned rapidly and began writing at an early age.

Peter Browning’s dilemmas are the urgency/necessity to change White Cap’s organization’s operations to become more competitive with actual markets and customer’s necessities but there are some organizational culture factors that would need to change in order to make White Cap a more proactive corporation. Some factors in particular are the seniority of some key manager positions (under his supervision) that represent the true identity of White Cap and the importance of their role in earlier years with the company, however their performance in those particular areas had led White Cap to their actual situation, also the company image at corporate levels was particularly ask to be
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry has been the subject of much criticism. Her elusive style prompted many critics to question Barrett's method of writing. In fact, some critics, like Alethea Hayter, go so far as to propose that an "honest critique of her work must admit that she often wrote very bad poetry indeed" (15). Accusations against Barrett's work were often targeted at her tendency for anonymity, her excessive development of thoughts, unsuccessful forced rhymes, and more often than any other of her familiarities, her tendency to create her own words. Despite being relatively shunned by the world of poetry, Barrett persisted in writing poetry, even though the majority of her writing
