Thomson's Reaction To Patterson

This made Paul feel embarrassed, because Tino hadn’t done anything to deserve being hit and Paul was ashamed of his brother for hurting his friend. According to the text, “Immediately, faster than I thought he could, faster than Tino thought he could, Erik lashed out, smashing him so hard that Tino spun halfway around in the air and landed on the grass…. I tried to get Tino to come inside, but he wouldn’t. He wouldn’t talk to me, or even look at me…. What could I have done? What should I have done.” [Page 205-207]. This passage explains that this choice Erik made. Tino embarrassed Erik, teasing him about him falling on this butt in the mud at a football, so Erik, punched Tino in his ear, making it bleed. This affected Paul because the interaction made his friendship with Tino awkward. Tino thinks that Paul is like his brother even though he isn't. Also Paul feels embarrassed because he didn’t back up Tino and because he didn’t warn him of what could happen at his

When Paul sees all the horrendous things Erik has done, such as punching Tino and commanding Arthur to hit Tino’s brother, Luis Cruz with a blackjack, Erik threatens to hurt Paul. Seeing all these acts keeps Paul from telling the truth. “I was on the verge of asking him, Dad? Did you see Erik punch Tino in the face so hard that he nearly knocked him out?

It all started when TIno, Paul and a couple other guys from their science group comes over to Paul's house to work on their report, and when they finish, they head out to the backyard to kick the soccer ball around a little. Then Erik pulls up with Arthur and went up to them and said, “Look at this. I think it's great that these farm-labor kids get to spend a day away from the fields.” (pg. ?) Paul tries to get Tino back down but is unable to and makes fun of Erik for doing a front flip on tv (pg. ?) Erik then lashes out with anger and hits Tino in the face. Tino layed there, blood dripping from his head from Erik’s ring that had made a cut in his head. The next day, Luiz Cruz, Tino’s older brother showed up to confront Erik for hitting his little brother when Erik tell Arthur to hit Luis with the blackjack. The worst part of it all was that Luis ended up dying and Paul had witnessed a crime. This creates an another effect on Paul that gives him a motive to stand up to his brother because he hurt someone other than him, he told someone to hurt someone else’s loved one. Paul does in fact stand up to his brother showing no fear when he snitched on Erik to the police for having involvement with the murder of Luis. (pg.

The plaintiff Charles Barker, a resident of Shelby County, Tennessee; sued Joe Carr the Secretary of State of Tennessee, along with other public officials. Baker filed that the law of Tennessee Constitution regarding the remapping of districts; was in violation of the 14th Amendment equal protection law.

In 1966 a Geochemist named Chea Patterson knew everyone is in danger. He was trying his best to put a stop to it. First, he had to figure out the age of the earth.

I was really moved by Ed Barker's video, and I found it to be very inspiring given to what he's been through as an Native American. Today, Native Americans and other people of color are still suffering from racism, prejudice, and discrimination due to their ethnic or racial background. One of the aspects of Ed Barker's experience that I see similar to the Native American and social class is being an outcast due to ethnic or racial background. Ed mentions in the video that when him and his family moved to Colorado, they were typecast by people in the community for being negatively stereotyped as people such as drunks and criminals just because they were Native Americans. Another aspect of Ed Barker's experience that I see similar to the Native American and social class is

As I read the novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’brien i had many different reactions to what was going on. At times i felt depressed, but during other parts I couldn’t help but laugh. There was also some parts that made me wonder why something happened. There was a mix of emotions throughout the entire book, but when I look back at how the emotions went together I felt almost a sense of comfort. I am satisfied with the ending for the most part.

In the article, “A Conversation With Tim O’Brien,” he is asked several questions on war; specifically the Vietnam war. After O’Brien was asked how a modern day soldier’s experience with war may differ than his own experience, he began to speak of how there are no more drafts like there was when he was enlisted, and then continued to answer in an appalling manner; “ There should be a law: If you support a war, you must go. And your children must go. Otherwise you’re a hypocrite and will be imprisoned for murderous hypocrisy. (Unless, of course, you support a war only to the extent that other people should die in it.)” When a person supports a war, that does not mean that they themselves should fight. If the President of the United States supports

As the modern age fast approaches us, with the efficiency of a touch on a screen, this fast paced generation is losing its traditions that were laid down by the older ones. With the hustle and bustle of the technological era, people nowadays fail to slow down and properly look at the things in their life that keep them grounded. Perry Patetic in his passage argues that due to the fast pace of modern society, people have lost the close relationships that former generations enjoyed. The author supports his argument by first presenting the forms of transportation accompanied by mobile society. He continues by giving examples and contrasting the former generation with the current one. The authors purpose is to instill a sense of self reflection
