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

Arree Walton Sr. was born on April 11, 1924 in Big Sandy, Texas, the firstborn child of the late Willie Sr. and Daisy T. Walton. He grew up on his parents large farm where he learned discipline, hard work and respect at a young age. As the eldest child, responsibility was usually expected of him as he often worked on the farm, babysat his younger siblings and neighbors, and attended to the needs of the four other families that tenanted his father's fields. He excelled in his education and was involved in all his school plays and was always given the roles with the most lines, because his teachers knew he could always remember his lines (his teachers often stated he could memorize a newspaper overnight). Unfortunately at the age of 14 his father tragically died as a result of an injury he sustained while working on the railroads. After his father's untimely death his mother decided to move their family to Los Angeles, California to be with her sister, Arree's Aunt Tessie.

Today was the day a man who fled to London with me on the same ship passed away. Thomas Hutchinson, was great man with a vision. He was a businessman, historian, and a politician. The news of his demise made my old memories fresh again. I still remember those days I spent on the place now they called The United States. The war between the English and the Americans began from 1775. King George the third, after defeating the French found his empire very large. The involvement of the king in too many wars put him in a huge national debt. To pay for his debt taxes were levied on the colonies without consenting the people living there.

Gary Ridgway was born in salt lake city, Utah as the second of three sons to his parents Mary and Thomas Ridgway. He grew up in an abusive household with a domineering mother who would bully him and belittle him for wetting the bed into his teenage years, and a father who would tell him stories about necrophiliac acts his co workers would commit at his job as a mortician. His school life wasn't that great either. He had an IQ of 82 which caused him to repeat two grades. No one really remembered him. He was the kind of kid that faded into the background and the unnoticed one in school photos. He played football in high school but none of his coaches could even remember what position he played. He was the type of kid who didn’t really stand out. Many of his classmates remembered him as a nice guy, but pretty average. But this was only the side he wanted them to see. Behind the scenes he was a boy who had feeling of anger and sexual attraction towards his mother, and a boy who lead a six-year-old boy to the woods and attempted to murder him when he was only 16. The boy survived and said he remembered Ridgeway walking away laughing and saying “i always wondered what it would be like to kill someone."

In recent years, there have been many cases of the rich “getting away with murder.” One example that I absolutely love is, Ethan Couch.All at the age of 16, Ethan Couch was driving under the influence of stolen beer cases. When he killed 4 people and injured 9 people all together. Couch was then indicted with 4 charges of intoxicated manslaughter, but the judge only gave him 10 years of probation. Since it was argued that he had “affluenza.” Affluenza’s dictionary definition is “a psychological malaise supposedly affecting wealthy young people, symptoms of which include a lack of motivation, feelings of guilt, and a sense of isolation.” This basically gave him a get out jail free card, since his parents were too rich to teach him to be a

Born in Bohemia between 1368-1371, John Huss strived to investigate the truth in Christian doctrines and traditions. Following the publications of John Wycliffe, Huss was influenced by his ideas and writings in regards to the Church. Throughout his life, Huss develops his own ideas about the Church and its religious traditions. However, with conflicting ideas with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church views his ideas as heretical and sentences him to death. After 100 years of the death of John Huss, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the doors of a church, igniting the Protestant Reformation. It is evident that the ideas of John Huss may have influenced the ideas of Martin Luther and the foundation of the Protestant Reformation. Although Martin Luther is primarily associated with the start of the Protestant Reformation, it is palpable that various persons were developing clashing opinions of the religion long before the 95 Theses were published.
