Summary Of ' The Night Of September 15 '

Ethan’s defence lawyer, Reagan Wynn, declared, “The teen boy had been a victim of his own family’s wealth and power and how he had grown up without repercussions for bad behavior.” to put it another way, Ethan Couch has grown up and continuously exhibited bad and illegal behavior, but because of his parents wealth and power he has not received punishment for those actions. His parents would threaten to use their power to threaten and scare away anyone who came close to punishing their child. For these reasons he does not know right from wrong and if he did he always thought he could get away with it thanks to his parents. Therefore, his parents lead him to think it would be fine for him to drive that night and to think he would be able to escape his

This book that I read is called “The Night Divided” by Jennifer A. Nielsen. This story takes place in East Germany right after the government decided to put a wall up to separate the country in half. With the sudden rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve year old Gerta, the main character of the story, finds her family divided overnight. Gerta’s brothers were Fritz, who was the older brother in the group at 14 years old at the time and Dominic, who was the second oldest. Which means that Gerta was left as the younger sibling. Their father, Papi a.k.a Aldous, was involved with some rebellion against the government. Though he had never been arrested for anything, the Stasi, their secret police, keeps coming to their house every few months to ask him

In the book, A Night Divided, by Jennifer A. Nielsen, the word “freedom” means Gerta’s own life. Gerta was riveted to escape even if it means to take risks and put her life and her family’s life in danger. She wants to escape out of East Berlin and rejoin with the other half of her family(her papa and her brother Dominic). When she was trying to understand why her papa told her to go to the Welcome Building, she had to get close to the Berlin Wall which was more than dangerous. In the book, the author states, “I got as close to the Berlin Wall as I dared, but not because I was challenging the Grenzers, Just the opposite, in fact.

When this Central park case was made public, the New York Police Department and District Attorney office’s main focus was to solve the case as quickly as possible. When the five teenagers were found “wilding” in the park the night of the women’s death, the police believed they had found the suspects. The police were so confident of the teenager’s guiltiness, the five boys were interrogated of their involvement in the crime. The police used their authority and persuasion to get the boys to confess and promise them that they would go home if they talked. Through strenuous and intense interrogation, the five boys confessed to the killing and rape of the young women on videotape. These confessions were given even though

On June 26, 2015, Mr. Steve Gerecke, an Albuquerque, New Mexico resident, confronted six youths allegedly attempting to burglarize his home after gaining access through the garage with a remote control removed from his wife’s car. The group of youth appeared to have been the same roving mob reported earlier to the police. Witnesses and police reports complained of burglarized homes and cars with the removal credit cards, cellphone, keys, and other valuables. In addition to the burglaries, the group allegedly committed grand the auto. Upon the confrontation of Mr. Gerecke and the youth, an escalation of bravado ensued. At this time, one of the youth armed with pistol, shot Mr. Gerecke multiple times killing him in the driveway of his home. Well

Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.

John Williams was recently incarcerated for the violent murder of three young women. Prior to his arrest, police were on edge because the small town in Arkansas had never experienced anything like that before. Each girl was taken within a week from each other, all while they were out after dark taking a short cut home. Sadly they were all found buried deep in the woods after weeks of searching. The town went into shock; citizens were exhibiting both fear and rage for the loss of the precious girls from their community.

“Full Moon Friday the Thirteenth” is a story about superstition and whether people should believe it. Throughout the story, Gawande transitions from a very sarcastic tone to a much more serious tone towards the end. This was due to a series of unfortunate events that he never would have expected, coincidentally occurring on none other than Friday the Thirteenth. At first, he attempted to shut down the superstitions and ignored them as if they weren’t a threat. Instead, he succumbed to them and realized that he was perhaps in for a very busy night at the hospital.

Three teens from Arkansas were brought in as suspects on a recent murder of three local children named, Chris Byers, Stevie Branch and Michael Moore. The teenagers who had been suspect were also locals, and one in particular had been profiled a number of times by the police for being odd. The teen, Damien Echols a high school dropout, had a record is psychiatric problems, with major depression. Echols was different than his fellow cohorts, he dressed primarily in black, had long dark hair, and to the police looked like a troublemaker. The troubled teen also was in a Wiccest, or male witches, group. He was said to partake in Wiccest ceremonies and other troubling events. The two other accused boys were Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, who like Echols were simply different. Misskelley was seventeen years old with mild mental retardation, who reportedly had an IQ of just sixty eight. Misskelley was interrogated by the police for several hours straight and eventually being forced to admit to a crime that he nor his companions committed. Misskelley would have a separate trial than the other two teens and would be found guilty and sentenced to eighteen years of jail time. Echols and Baldwin would also be found guilty, Baldwin sentenced to the same amount of time as Misskelley, but Echols, unfortunately, was condemned to

After interviewing primarily night shift nurses, PCNAs, patients, patient families, the floor nursing manager and all five assistant nurse managers about “Quiet Night”, I was able to pick up on what was the root cause of the low score on Quiet Night on the HCAHPS survey score for the unit.

However, by night, this unruly teenager found entertainment and pleasure in committing the most appalling crimes imaginable. He was a murder, a rapist, a thief. Alex and his so called “droogs” ruined the lives of a multitude of citizens. In an incredibly twisted way, this lost young man felt he was doing something worthwhile. The bulk of the community chose to spend their evenings mindlessly planted in front of a television.

Spielberg usage of documentary footage for One Day in September in the opening moments provides us with archive footage from the news reporters; reporting the kidnapping of eleven Israeli men being held hostage by Palestinian terrorists. The News shows footage of the first rescue on live television, being called off. Then shows the hostage and terrorists being transport to the airport by bus. The explosion at the airport, the news coverage reporting that all the hostages are fine and the terrorist are all dead. There is another news coverage-reporting saying that “Our worst fear is realized tonight; reporting of the eleven hostages, two were killed in their room’s yesterday morning, and nine were killed at the airport tonight.
