Summary Of The Book 'Dead Is Not An Option'

From prehistory to 21st century, violence and warfare permeate human existence. Tribes, cities, and nations have pitted their youth against one another in hopes improving their position. However, these Soldiers regularly fall short of maximizing their killing potential. In the book On Killing, Dave Grossman scrupulously examines war throughout recent history; specifically the human element in killing. His thorough assessment of the psychological factors associated with homicide is vitally important to individuals who wish to successfully lead their Soldiers during and after combat. Its ultimate value clearly visible in light of four major facets: the background of the writer, the general points of the book, analysis of essential concepts, and the insight provided.

Would it be true that capital punishment saves lives? Edward Koch, in his article “Death and Justice” believes it does. Koch, using common techniques to influence his audience, suggests that killers should be handled within this tried and avenged form of punishment. Koch opens his article by quoting convicted murderers Robert Lee Willie and Joseph Carl Shaw, both in the last moments of their lives pleading for the justice system to put a stop to the endless cycle of killing. Using simple logic, Koch argues that the sudden changing of the killers’ moral character is not a result of remorse for the victims, but rather an attempt to save their own lives from the killing hands of the justice system. Koch effectively uses these quotes to suggest to the reader that a killer might have thought twice about his/her own actions if the death sentence were a belief.

Daisy is probably the most careless person in the whole novel. Tom’s carelessness causes a lot of damage to others, but his actions were deliberate and thought out. Unlike Tom, Daisy’s is careless because her dream is to live in a luxurious, protected world, where there is no such thing as consequences. In order to accomplish this dream you must be a “fool”. ”And I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” This represents how Daisy believes all a girl should be is careless. Daisy is stuck in a bad marriage with a cheating, brute of a man. Daisy hopes her daughter will be foolish. That way, she won’t realize how bad her life is. Due to her foolishness and carelessness, she kills both Wilson

The floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina marooned Memorial Medical Center in Uptown New Orleans [1]. Disaster struck leaving patients helpless, and doctors and nurses with confusion and stress. The article “Deadly Choices at Memorial” by Sheri Fink describes, in just the right amount of detail, the crisis that MMC faced because of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Although the article was able to state a few good things that were done by medics at the hospital, it mostly showed all of the flaws that exist in the medical system. This causing us to face reality and face our problems head on.

In the story Fahrenheit 451 there are many things that symbolize what is going on in our society as well as what's happening in their society. Montag and a girl Clarisse believed books were a valuable source of information while the rest of their society believes the total opposite of what they think. In both societies the quality of information has been shortened so more people can understand everything and we don't have to spend a lot of time getting the information we need. The blurred distinction between life and death in both our society and Fahrenheit 451 is the information we need is watered down and were missing that element that gives us room to think about what is going on so people are mentally dead because they don't have to think

Ernest Hemingway was and is a greatly celebrated American writer. During the Spanish Civil War, Hemingway traveled to Spain to find inspiration for his stories. After returning home, “In March 1939, Cosmopolitan published a story by Ernest Hemingway entitled ‘Nobody Ever Dies’” (Cooper, 1988, pg 117). The story is about fighting for something that is bigger than yourself. This message is portrayed through the main characters Enrique and Maria. Enrique is a young Cuban veteran who fought for the Spanish Loyalist Army. He hides in an abandoned house in Havanna. A “Negro” is keeping watch on the house to rat Enrique out to the police for a profit. Enrique’s lover, Maria, appears in the story bringing along food and company. The two of them talk about the war and how it may spread to Cuba. Enrique ends up telling Maria of the death of her brother. She becomes upset about the death of her loved one and criticizes the war. Enrique explains that the goals of the war effort are more important than the lives being lost. That they are fighting for a purpose that is more significant than themselves. In the midst of their discussions, they hear police sirens and attempt to escape the house undetected. Enrique is shot and killed. Maria is soon captured for interrogation and despite her position, she holds her head high and remembers that Enrique had told her, “Where you die does not matter, if you die for liberty” (PDBooks, n.d.). “Nobody Ever Dies” is a well written story of faith

Critics of this writing think that James created a character that makes the reader think about whether she is really innocent or not. Carol Ohmann shows that James displays Daisy this way on purpose so that we as the readers can argue whether Daisy is really innocent and just naïve. In “Daisy Miller: A Study of Changing Intentions,” Ohmann writes,

Daisy on the other hand plays dumb. She uses vulnerability and innocence as a mask. She acknowledges what she's doing and is focused on keeping her reputation clean. She is bubbly and giggly and is married to Tom. Tom and her were once in love for a short while until Daisy had her child and it was first revealed that Tom was cheating. Daisy was playing the fool, she also knew that Tom “had some women in New York”(20). She was not fighting back in order to preserve her marriage for her daughter as well as her reputation. Daisy is onto something though, she knows that “a fool- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool”(17). She knows that by her playing the fool she can get out of and get away

This film is an excellent film to describe the processes and changes that older adults go through. The way Miss Daisy was portrayed gave me the sense that not all films are directed for stereotypes. For me, the amount of independence and the high quality of life that the characters had were the key points that made this movie remarkable to watch. It shows that this is the way elder’s should live and be treated instead of showing elder’s independence being taken away. Seeing many elder’s get mistreated due to their age is morally wrong especially taking their independence away. In the film, Miss Daisy said, “ I still have rights!” and

Moreover, these complications even stem over to Henry’s guilt about the war. After arriving in Switzerland, Henry states, “The war seemed as far away as the football games of some one else’s college. But I knew from the papers that they were still fighting in the mountains because the snow would not come” (FTA, 291). Even in Switzerland, Henry cannot escape hearing about the war. While when he escapes the war, Henry cannot escape the guilt of deserting his friends, showing that his inner truth is not that simple. Even his inner meaning from existentialism has complications. With this idea, Friedrich Nietzsche states, “‘All truth is simple.’ Is that not doubly a lie?” This dichotomy between the simple and the complicated demonstrates nihilism’s
