By all means of the word, Richard Strout might have been a psychopath. The aggressive and violent behavior used to kill Frank show signs that Richard might not be mentally stable. The lackadaisical tone in which Richard had lived his life after the murder of Frank shows that Richard is evil by his nature. With an evil nature, murdering somebody probably is not the hardest thing to do, and that is why Matt’s murder is much worse. Matt thought that there would be some sort of contentment after he placed Richard six feet under, but his body and spirit felt nothing. A man with high morals of family and security does not make the best of murderers. His conscience had taken a toll, leaving him alone, trapped inside his conscience. The murder of Richard
Shane is a movie produced in 1953 by George Steven. Steven is also the director of the movie which is based on the 1949 novel by Jack Schaefer. Shane was set in 1889 in the Old West of Wyoming state. Shane, the man, starts off the movie by riding into the small town dressed differently than the other men in the movie. The viewer can see that Shane is different than any other farmers in the movie.

When the truth seems too good to be true should people still believe it? When people explain episodes from the war or certain details the claims at times can become too crazy, which makes them unbelievable. In addition to being unbelievable, the state of being truthful can sometimes be extremely hurtful. This causes people to branch away from the truth and even make stories easier on the ears. Ultimately, most people enjoy hearing stories that sound truthful and have some kind of moral, yet the truth can be hard to accept.
In war, soldiers carry many things; rifles, ammo, food, water, and personal items. People that have never been soldiers or been in a war zone they do not know of the emotions that soldiers carry along with their equipment. Soldiers carry the emotional burden of fallen brothers and the stress of their lives possibly coming to an end. In order to keep the memory of fallen brothers alive, after their death, soldiers often make jokes and tell stories about them.
In episode 10 of serial, Koenig talks about Adnan's culture and ethnicity how it affected the jury. At first koenig says “The jurors we spoke to said Adnan’s religion didn’t affect their view of the case.” To be honest I was kind of surprised when I heard this. She then briefly talked about one of the jurors she spoke to who said it interested her at first until she realized Adnan was an american teenager doing normal teenage things. After this Koenig says what I expected her to say about the jury “But when we pressed them a little more, it seems stereotypes about Adnan’s culture were there lurking in the background.” Even in society today, most people still strongly judge people on looks, culture, ethnicity and religion. As much as we say

This week has been one of hardest weeks I have had to endure since the break of Jeffery and I. I have not been able to focus on absolutely anything. My children do not notice that I am going through this pain, at least I don’t think that they have noticed. I am in church praying and hoping that God will make a way for me soon, but as of right now, I am wearing an artificial smile on my face to hind the grief I am subdued to everyday.
Since freshmen year, I been apart of my school’s Key Club chapter, and together we have grown. As a member my freshmen year, I did understand the specifics of Key Club. I merely joined since I thought it was provide me opportunities that would allow me to gain community service hours required for graduation at my school. What I later learned, however, through participating in the club’s events, is how beneficial giving back to the community is. As a volunteer at the Ukrop’s Monument 10K race, I realized that while I may not be the only person passing out water to runner, but that my specific location could have possibly allowed some runners to hydrate themselves at the perfect time, allowing them to continue racing and feeling refreshed. Additionally,
The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on December 8th, 1993, went into effect on January 1st, 1994. By December of 1994, Mexico underwent a deep economic crisis, which saw the devaluation of the Mexican peso, a deterioration of wages, rampant unemployment, as well as extensive personal and corporate bankruptcies that led to the poverty and malnutrition of many of its citizens. As we explore the economic effects that NAFTA has had on Mexico, we must consider what economic disparity has meant for the citizens of Mexico, and how it has impacted migration patterns from Mexico to the United States.

When asked to write a personal essay I pondered the many things that I could write about and nothing seemed quite right but one of the events that I truly believe changed my life. That is why I chose to write about basic and what I have learned from being in the army. Everyone has their own stories so no one will have a story that is similar to mine because everyone's life is different. That’s what makes mine stand out, I can guarantee that my reader will be able to experience something that they themselves have not even if they have been to basic themselves. My hook in the beginning is actually how I wanted my whole essay to be, but the more that I wrote the more my essay changed to a more inner thought sort of essay. This change hurt me later on though when I changed from past tense to present tense and back again without catching it. This was an easy fix however and some of my other minor errors were brought to my attention by Alex in my writing group when we switched documents with each other.
