And Then There Were None By Agatha Christie: An Analysis

553 Words3 Pages

in the novel And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie has the main character Justice Wargrave murder his victims in the order of their guilt or responsibility of the crime they committed, I think that the crime should be ranked in this order. I think General Macarthur should go 1st, I really don't feel like he did much, his wife was cheating on him and he was jealous so he sent his wife's other lover on a war mission knowing he wouldn't survive. I think that Mrs Rodgers should have went second and that Mr rogers would have went shortly after in third, I feel they were the some of the least guilty of everyone on the island because all they did was withdraw medicine from Jennifer Brady which caused her to die. Then I think that pretty boy Anthony Marston should have been killed 4th, because he hit someone with his car and ended up killing them on accident which he didn't go to jail for i don't feel he should've been punished very much. …show more content…

I then think Dr. Armstrong should have died 6th, he is a doctor who was operating on a patient while he was drunk , and that caused the death of Louisa Mary Clees. Next I feel that Mr. Blore should die next, I really just didn't like Blore this whole book, Just his personality and how he debated with himself about his cover story not like him, and i'm glad he went closer to last in the story I would have put him as 7th in my mind, because he lied in court to get someone put away for a crime they didn't even

But I do not think he should be executed. I’m not a minister or a philosopher-and I’m not an anti-death-penalty crusader. But executing a murderer is just another kind of murder” (Welch). But the brother of Tom Hawthorne had a different view “He also took something from from the whole country-our sense of security. And he did it deliberately.

Ruby McCollum murdered a man. I will never know what it was like because I will never be able to understand it from her perspective, yet I wonder how it all started, or if what she claimed happened is even true. If Dr. Adams had lived, would he have been as nice as everyone said or would he have been just as racist as all the others? I agree that her trial was very unfair in the aspect that only white men decided her fate for the solemn reason that she was black. They didn’t allow any reporters to speak to her.

I believe the jury did the right decision in the case of the boston Massacre, I think Captain Preston was innocent and did not order his men to fire, but individuals soldiers may be guilty of murder. The Boston Massacre started in March 5th 1770 in boston and 5 men and boys died. It started in front of a Government office with a crowd of american colonists who were propagandising the british soldiers they were in a riot fighting against the soldiers who were acting in malice. The incident started when the crowd was provoking the soldiers, they threw snowballs and clubs at the soldiers. One of the soldiers named Montgomery was hit on the head with ice and fell to the ground after he got up and fired into the crowd.

The question is do I think that his punishment is justified and to explain why. Yes this punishment was fitting for him seeing all the harm he has done just to some of the characters through the book I would hate to hear how many other people’s life’s he has affected. In other books I have heard of them trying to get the person to change or bringing them on to their side but with this type of character I believe he is just pure evil seeing that he has no true motive on hurting people and just doing it for pure enjoyment. He would end up just hurting more people in the end and cause more problems so dying was a fitting end for this character to go out

But I disagree with Jill when she explains how it was an accident. The kidnappers got the wrong people but I think in general you should not be kidnapped or hurt anyone because it would become murder. I also think that the kidnappers should have looked at the four men to make sure it was the right people (which doesn't mean they can still kidnap people). Overall, I agree with Jill about getting medical help in a different country because you might not have insurance but I also disagree with Jill because Jill explains how the kidnappers mistook them for other people, I think that's not an excuse to kill innocent

“Gentleman, Your Verdict”: A Moral Dilemma 1. In my opinion, I don’t think the jury should convict Commander Oram of murder because he wanted at least some people to survive and to do that, many men had to die. The fact that he commits suicide makes a difference because if he hadn’t it would have made it look like he killed 15 other men so that he could survive. If he hadn’t commit suicide, I would definitely change my answer to ‘yes, he is guilty’. I don’t think that the other crew members are guilty because they didn’t have a say in what was done.

Graduating from high school, I knew I wanted to attend a university that offered a strong computer science program, a culture of entrepreneurship, and a vibrant school spirit. In many ways, my time at USC has satisfied most of these requirements. At the same time, it has also spurred a shift in my intellectual interests and taught me a lot about what I want out of my undergraduate experience. Consequently, transferring schools will help me transition into the ideal academic environment to fully achieve my goals. Prior to college, I became interested in using technology, especially software, to address social problems—an aspiration I took to USC and one that continues to drive me today.

What would the world be like if all of the genetic diseases that drastically effect our world could be targeted and exchanged with genes that don't cause these horrible genetic conditions? That was the idea that cause human gene therapy to evolve. Human gene therapy is, “The insertion of normal DNA directly into cells to correct a genetic defect” (Wiley 2013). The reason this treatment for genetic diseases works, is by replacing a gene that is absent or defective because that is what is responsible for that certain disease. Even though the concept of human gene therapy started in the 1960s and 1970s, this type of treatment is still in its infancy today.
