Even the best of intentions can have tragic ends: a lesson well portrayed by the holy friar of Verona. At a first glance, one would consider Friar Lawrence only a minor influence in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. However, he is much more significant to the development of the play. Friar Lawrence acts as a catalyst to further sequence love and peace. He is without a doubt, a very complicated individual, and it is his complex nature that makes him such an interesting character. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is seen as a tragic hero because of his noble status, his good intentions, and his naive fatal flaw

Our actions and interactions with others and society are what define us. Society’s perception of an individual may contrast with that individual’s perception of self.

Once he came out he became relaxed psychologically from the inside as he doesn’t have to worry and stress out anymore about what might the judge say. He also started taking movies of himself. As he says “In the movies I talk and tell the camera who I am, what I think I am about”(279). In Steve’s movies he tells the camera who he believe he is and that he is a human being no mater of his race and that he is not a monster like what some people think he is.

The dynamic change that the narrator experiences at the end of the short story is that he becomes more sympathetic. He starts to see that sometimes you have to take a stand for what you believe in. He did not want to be apart of what had just happened at the store with the girls. From the way other customers were judging them by the way they were dressed. Along with how the store manager embarrassed them with their inappropriate appearance. In my opinion he would not have had such a dynamic change in the story if the store manager would have addressed this in a different manner. The manager could have approached the three girls individuality in a private setting instead of getting into an altercation in front of all the customers in the store. The way of knowing he was making a dynamic change in the story is when he quit. He learned that it was time to make a stand in his life for what he did not feel was right. He has witnessed first hand how hard life is going to be. In a short time he saw how

Many of us readers would agree that after reading Tim O’Brien’s “In the Lake of the Woods” we find John Wade’s behavior more than unusual as he would do some unusual things such as burning plants with boiling water while saying “Kill Jesus”, and have flashbacks. Most readers would wonder how a psychologist would diagnose John Wade. Based on his behavior, John Wade would probably be diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any life-threatening event which results in psychological trauma. Wade’s diagnoses would affect O’Brien’s implicit argument as anyone that has a perfect or normal life can be ruined by PTSD.

I ain’t got nothing between my butt and the ground but a rag.STEVE I hear that”(Myers part 2).This quote shows that Steve some type relationship between King who was involved in the robbery and sometimes friends can get you in trouble.Later on in the novel it says “If I had a crew, I could get paid. All you need is a crew with some heart and a nose for the cash”.This quote shows King talking to Steve about the robbery and he is trying to persuade him into doing to robbery with him.So I think if Steve was never friends with King he would have never worried about that

Sawicki frames Steve as a great student and person who says there was a film project to be worked on while the robbery was happening. Kathy O’Brien calls George Sawicki to the stand, and asks him, “When he says he was taking mental notes for a film, would that be a film for your club?” (Pg. 235). Mr. Sawicki replies, “Yes.” (pg. 235). He preaches for Steve as a good student, so he knows that if there was a project due that Steve probably wouldn’t be robbing a store. Mr. Sawicki says, “Steve is an outstanding young man. He is talented, bright, and compassionate” (Add page number) which helps prove that Steve is a good kid and wouldn’t do something like

Soldiers supply the violence, those in charge – the heads - supply the control. Tagalog-speaking and math-inept Juan Rico is a fairly bland character at the beginning of Starship Troopers whom enlisted into the Terran Federation Army on a whim; the desire to escape his father’s suffocating standards and the pressure of both of Rico’s friends enlisting quickly forces our main character to sign up. By the end of his saga, Juan “Johnny” Rico morphs from an inexperienced fresh-faced teen into a cold, calculating warrior soldiering his way up the ranks of the Army. Without being fully aware of his own transition, we witness Johnny’s descent, and his decision to join did nothing but contribute to the apathetic, violent, colonizing, and fascist motives
