Gary Gamester is an average suburban teenage boy who spends most of his free time playing video games. He is often bullied by his peers at high school for being socially awkward. He has a crush on a girl there named Mary Mackler, who he feels is destined to be with him. He keeps trying to win her heart, but always fails every time.
One day, Gary decides that he wants to purchase a new game, but he already owns every big-name game currently being sold at his local game shop. He then decides to check the downtown game shops he never visits to see if they carry any obscure games he doesn't already own. After a long, desperate search, he still finds nothing new or interesting. Disappointed, he prepares to go home empty-handed, just before he checks the last shop he just noticed. Upon entering the shop, he could feel that something wasn't quite right, but he was very eager to get a game by this point, so he ignored the feeling. He approaches the counter and asks the clerk if he has any recommendations for him. The clerk immediately reveals a game titled 'The Glitch Game' and claims it's the best game no one knows about. Gary cautiously perks up and asks for the price, not allowing himself to get too excited yet, since he only has a small amount of money on him. The clerk responds by saying that he's been trying his hardest to get rid of this game, so for him, it's free. Gary then reluctantly accepts the game and heads home, excited to play it, completely
The lottery went on just like all other activities in the town. Mr. Summers leads the town in this yearly activity. Each family member is required to draw a slip of paper from a designated box. If the slip of paper has a black dot on it, that person wins the lottery. The reader is tricked into thinking this is a good win, but this is not the case. The lottery ends with a fatality in which the townspeople readily and willingly stone one of their own people. This demonstrates the good vs. evil characterization in this story. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Connell uses General Zaroff to set the stage for a friendly act of hunting. He and Rainsford have a friendly chat about hunting before the General reveals to Rainsford that he wants to use him for his prey. Rainsford accepts his challenge and runs into the woods and prepares himself for what he thinks is a friendly game of hunting. The good vs. evil in this story is clearly portrayed in the end when it also ends in a fatality.

Once the protagonist is given the button to control the bingo wheel he tells himself his plan “… give the wheel a short quick twirl. Just a touch of the button” (586). He held on to the button, tightening his grip, as the wheel increased in speed, it drawing “ him more and more into its power” (587). He finally held the power of the button given to him by the white man. This was his chance to attempt to break the grossly unfair set of rules established by the dominant white society.

The plaintiff Gary O’Brien arrived uninvited at the Henry home and dove into an above-ground pool manufactured by Muskin Corp., the defendant. As O’Brien’s outstretched hands hit the slippery vinyl-lined pool bottom, they slid apart, and his head struck on the bottom of the pool, sustaining injuries. At one time the outer wall of the pool bore the manufacturer’s logo and below it a decal that warned “DO NOT DIVE” roughly one-half inch high. O’Brien sued Muskin for strict product liability citing both design defect and inadequate warning. Both parties produced expert witnesses debating the use of vinyl as the lining material of the pool. O’Brien’s expert testified that wet vinyl was more than twice as slippery as rubber latex, which is
I believe that it is obvious that Gary Gilmore’s behavior is best explained by Hirshi and Gottfredson’s General Theory of Crime. There are several facts about Gary Gilmore’s life that fall under the trends described in the General Theory of Crime. One fact includes Gary having a very hard childhood where his dad would beat him and his mom. Another fact about Gary was that he had low-self control and acted impulsively. He would commit several crimes randomly and excessively. These are only two of the common symptoms Gary has that are found in all criminals according to the General Theory of Crime.
