Summary Of King Leary's Gross Misconduct

There is no doubt in the minds of many people who are familiar with the Rubin "Hurricane" Carter story that he, and the man who was convicted for murder with him, John Artis, are innocent of those crimes. While no one knows for sure who is guilty of the crime, but the one thing that is for certain is that Carter and Artis were victims of racial bias from many people who would see them in jail. This story is truly a tragic one of a promising career, and of a life that was spoiled by prejudice and one that reviles some of the ways in which, society's present legal system can fail to ensure the right of justice for people in our society.

Connell deploys the literary device of metaphors perpetually throughout his thriller to delineate a suspenseful mood. Subsequent to the complication of the plot, Connell writes, “The lights of the yacht became faint and ever vanishing fireflies” (14). Here, Connell portrays the current setting, of the yacht moving farther away from Rainsford in the middle of the ocean, through analogizing the lights of the yacht he occupied previously to fireflies. In turn, this leaves the reader to feel a sense of enticement and allows them to question where the fate of Rainsford now lies, since he presently has no form of transportation to achieve tranquility, thus abating Rainsford’s chances for survival. Furthermore, the author manifests a theme of trepidation in this moment of the short story due to vividly describing the scene as greatly dark and sullen, which therefore unveils mere fear in Rainsford since he will soon have to formulate an elaborate plan to find safety. Moreover, one observes the concept of menace in this portion of the text, for the author writes current destiny of Rainsford as rather cryptic which presents danger for Rainsford and his life. Whilst Rainsford partakes in General Zaroff’s lethal game, narrator remarks, “The Cossack was the cat; he was the mouse” (24). Taking into consideration that mice are cat’s prey, Connell, through comparing General Zaroff to a cat and Rainsford to a mouse, limns how General Zaroff has more dominant in the game thus far, ergo diminishing Rainsford’s possibilities for

Humans behave in mysterious ways when they are put into challenging positions. This is especially true in Shirley Jackson short story The Lottery and Ray Bradbury’s short story All Summer in a Day. In both of these stories the characters raise hell for the protagonists, compelling the reader to ask themselves what the motivation behind these cruel actions is and why the characters are allowing themselves to act in this unjust manner. Protagonist Tessie Hutchinson of The Lottery is stoned to death by her own townspeople who looked upon her as their equal only moments prior to her death. Young Margot of All Summer in a Day is locked away inside of a closet by her own classmates; the same classmates who end up feeling shameful for their cruelty towards her. Why did the villagers stone Tessie and why was Margot locked away by her classmates? Analyzing the Milgram experiment helps us to understand why these characters behaved the way they did. Tessie was stoned to death and Margot was locked away because disgustingly evil actions were allowed to be committed under the shield of justice which each stories’ authority figures represent.

In the novel “Crime and Punishment”, the author, Fyodor Dostoevsky gives the reader a glimpse into the mind of a tormented criminal, by his guilt of a murder. Dostoevsky’s main focal point of the novel doesn’t lie within the crime nor the punishment but within the self-conflicting battle of a man and his guilty conscience. The author portrays tone by mood manipulation and with the use of descriptive diction to better express his perspective in the story, bringing the reader into the mind of the murderer.

The leading case on use of force is the 1989 Supreme Court decision in Graham v. Connor. In Graham, the plaintiff Graham, a diabetic, asked his friend to drive him to a convenience store to purchase orange juice to counteract the onset of an insulin reaction. Upon entering the store and seeing the number of people ahead of him, Graham hurried out and asked his friend, Berry, to drive him to another friend’s home instead. Defendant, Officer Connor became suspicious after seeing Graham hastily enter and leave the store, followed Berry’s car, and made an investigatory stop ordering the pair to wait while he found out what happened in the store. Berry tried to explain that his friend was having an insulin reaction, but Officer Connor was not convinced. When Connor returned to his patrol car to call for backup, Graham got out of the car, ran around it twice and sat down on the curb, where he passed out.

Father Leboutilier’s arrival at St. Jerome’s residential school represents an important turning point in the life of the main character, Saul Indian Horse, in the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. Father Leboutilier signifies a parental figure for Saul which helps him forget the tragedies of his past. The Father’s presence is critical in helping Saul survive life in residential school. Above all, the most essential part of their relationship is the Father’s introduction of hockey to Saul; a game would change his life. Had the pair not been acquainted, it is presumable that Saul’s life would had gone down a much different, possibly lethal path which was common for so many residential school children.

A tragedy story portrays a noble hero and heroine downfall through use of fate, the will of gods and hubris. The book “Private Memoirs and Confession of a Justified Sinner” is a tragedy because the book narrates a story about Wringham who had involved himself in crimes. At first, evil triumphs over good as Wringham had been filled with self-righteousness and hatred and these attitudes made him to believe that any crime was right according to his religion including murder. The story is full of crimes like murder, horror, religious fanaticism, fantasy and folklore (Hogg & Carrey 50). The publisher of the story was popular due to his magazine articles and poetry and he was also self-educated thus he published the book with the idea that the information in the book is strange. This idea was as a result of horrific theme matter and experimental style which he used in the book and he knew the general public would not appreciate his book. A French writer Gide in 1940s argued that the book was a masterpiece. The story has three categories to enable readers to understand different ways in which the book exist like folklore and local tradition. The first category summarizes all events which Wringham did to make readers understand why Wringham opted for confession. The second category narrates of the shocking confession process of Wringham who was obsessed with crime for a long period. The third section talks of finding of how Wringham confessed and revelation of his characters after

It has been established that “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Utterly Perfect Murder” share the same first person style of narration. Both of these narrators also have the reader question their sanities. Montresor, narrator of “The Cask of Amontillado,” proves his lack of stability by murdering a man simply because he insulted him. In the case of “The Utterly Perfect Murder,” Doug Spaulding, the story’s protagonist, devises the assassination of his former friend

In November of 2005, the Major League Baseball commissioner at the time, Bud Selig, finally got the tougher drug policy that he had been asking for. The process was expedited when Congress demanded the policy be strengthened. A failed steroid test would result in much more than merely missing a week of baseball.

In chapters five “Chasing My Stolen Bicycle” and seven “Duke Lacrosse Players Relieved Case has ‘Closure’”, they share a similar theme. They both involve risk, harm, and seriousness. They both involve the role of a prosecutor, as well as deal with some type of crime.

Often times in literature, we are presented with quintessential characters that are all placed into the conventional categories of either good or bad. In these pieces, we are usually able to differentiate the characters and discover their true intentions from reading only a few chapters. However, in some remarkable pieces of work, authors create characters that are so realistic and so complex that we are unable to distinguish them as purely good or evil. In the novel Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky develops the morally ambiguous characters of Raskolnikov and Svidrigailov to provide us with an interesting read and to give us a chance to evaluate each character.

as he attempts to maneuver the bureaucratic system.  In vain, much as many people try to find meaning and justice out of court, Josef K.'s efforts to discover why he is accused and must suffer are in vain.  Yet, his character and his sins are conventional, and he has no bold or threatening ambitions.  All he can do is ask questions, but he receives no answers that would clarify the bureaucratic system into which he has been thrust.  Just like existential awareness undermines the entire rational structure of Divine justice, so, too, the alternative hypotheses, the multiple explanations, the different interpretations, and the uncertainty Josef K. experiences, serve to undermine the whole rational structure of the justice system.  Josef K. comes to understand the socially constructed, arbitrary, and absurd nature of the justice system, and, justice itself "The truth allegedly resides above the realms of justice and injustice."iii This literary analysis will focus on how Josef K.'s experiences in The Trial demonstrate not only the corrupt justice system of the era but also the absurd and futile attempt to seek an arbitrary concept like justice in an existential realm.
