Mr. Baumer's Guilty Of Slade

In this world, there is no individual more tragic than the one who gazes into their future and is only able to see a perpetual cycle of despair and agony. War, in particular, has this incomprehensibly dark power—the ability to drive even the most cheerful among us into the oppressive void of depression. Indeed, the total and complete loss of hope is among the most destructive consequences of war on the human psyche. An expression of this phenomenon is visible in Paul Baumer’s statement regarding the true psychological state of soldiers. When reflecting upon the experience of being in the military, Baumer says “We are little flames poorly sheltered by frail walls against the storm of dissolution and madness, in which we flicker and sometimes almost go out...Our only comfort is the steady breathing of our comrades asleep, and thus we

Mr Birling has strong political views and his beliefs highly linked with Capitalism and the right wing side.

The British doctor, Dr. Harold “Dr. Death” Shipman was a silent killer. The law enforcement and attorneys must have evidence to convict any person in a court of law. Some of the key factors in this case appear to be circumstantial evidence and there was no forensic evidence presented. The first factor is that Harold Shipman was admitted for psychiatric treatment and a drug conviction in 1976 and the General Medical Council was aware of this serious issue. Yet, they allowed him to continue to practice without any documentation being filed, so they say, and no monitoring was implemented for Harold. Dr. Shipman established a pattern in which all of the victims were injected with morphine/heroin as a result of the coroner’s reporting.

In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Montresor tells the story of how he got revenge on Fortunato. There are differing opinions on why Montresor is telling the story: is it a confession or is it so he can relive the perfect crime he committed? After close examination of the story, it becomes evident that Montresor is bragging about committing the perfect crime. The story is not a confession because Montresor boasts about his cleverness at luring Fortunato down to the catacombs and taunts Fortunato multiple times without remorse.

A compelling, powerful re-creation of the hostile environment that was Florida in the early twentieth century, Peter Matthiessen, the naturalist and explorer, brings much of these elements to his novel Killing Mister Watson. He writes about the natural world and the individuals who must struggle to survive the elements. The main focal point of the novel is Edgar J. Watson, a real historical figure who killed the female outlaw Belle Starr. Killing Mister Watson is told by the people who knew Watson, and the characters speak in their natural dialect. Matthiessen knows how to weave in factual material and has created a wonderful sense of place. The novel is dynamic in the sense that it is more than mere imagination; it is an American

          He shot himself… Nobody blamed him. Before the chopper came, there                was time for goodbyes.

At first thought, Melanie Daniels was the evil woman that brought doom to Bodega Bay. That would have been the obvious woman to choose. But what if it was not Melanie, but instead Lydia Brenner(Mitch’s mother) who was evil. A reason why I think this is because I never saw a time in The Birds where Lydia was injured. Secondly, because Lydia disliked Melanie and Annie it was logical that the birds harmed them.

Kiley was surprised when Netta started to get involved and figured out the missing piece of the Edna puzzle because Netta wasn’t very enthusiastic about the trip or the mystery. I think Netta realized the appeal of professor Burlock’s mystery. I change my opinion about topics frequently because keeping an open mind is a good way to learn and experience new things. Being willing to change my opinion about topics can help me keep an open mind when faced with classes/subjects that I’m not necessarily excited about and lead me to eventually appreciate it and even enjoy
