The worker contacted Annetta Galbreath; who is the mother of Akelah Gailbreath. Mrs. Gailbreath stated “Akelah is a great mother and I know because I raised her. She has a great family and home life I have no concerns for her or the safety of the children. Mrs. Gailbreath stated she last saw the children this morning 5.16.16) before they went to
Jonathan, I agree with you completely that the only oral contract she needs to honor is the one with the attorney. The oral contracts with Hermes and the builder fall under the statue of frauds and would not be legally enforceable. Suzy does have to honor her oral contract with the attorney because the attorney performs the service of investigating the title and records associated with the land within the one year limit and informs Suzy of the information that has been found about the land. The oral contract with the attorney would be legally enforceable.
Candyce, Good job defining what an arrest is. Very detailed on how an arrest is done with an arrest warrant and without a warrant. An arrest that is made without a warrant requires judicial determination within 48 hours. This process makes sure that and individually was not wrongfully arrested and deprived from their freedom.
Francine had limited resources available to her. The concrete services and benefits of income support or material aid, institutional placement, mental health services, in-home health services, supervision, education, transportation, housing, medical services, legal services, in-home assistance, socialization, nutrition, and child and respite care of today would have helped families of abuse just like Francine’s. If Mickey was serious about receiving assistance, counseling would have helped Mickey to identify his issues, but also provided resolutions on how to cope with stress. Awareness is the greatest agent for change, and these services today are available nationwide.
The visit from Sister Lisa was very informative and interesting. She basically has the background story I would expect from a typical Sister. She was raised at a Catholic school and her life revolved around the church and school because her dad was a teacher at her school. However, Sister Lisa is anything but your typical Sister. She has always been big into sports and said that the hardest decision in becoming a Sister was giving up coaching.
Chapter 23: Candide is sickened by the experience he went through in France and asks Martin if people in England are the same way, to which Martin answers that the same but just a different kind of crazy. They arrived at Portsmouth and a blindfolded admiral being executed in front of a cheering crowd because he didn’t kill enough people. After hearing such dreadful reason, Candide is disgusted and arranges a deal with the merchant to be taken straight to Venice. After two days, they sailed across the Mediterranean and landed in Venice.
Like a tale seemingly spun from The Onion, Masterpiece Cake v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission is a case where everything seems too ridiculous to be true. The root of the issue stems from the city of Lakewood, Colorado, in which a gay couple was denied the right to a custom-made cake from Jack Phillips, the head of Masterpiece Cakes. Disgruntled by their treatment, Charlie Craig and David Mullins aptly filed charges of discrimination to which the state found merit, and Phillips quickly shot back with appeals of his own, leading us to this current situation. Now, after having been argued in front of the Supreme Court, the case lies in dormancy, waiting for its verdict come spring. During its time in the public eye, this case has been a hot button topic for many wanting to chime in with their opinion across the United States.
Typically, happy endings are associated with myths. But, Fay Weldon describes that “The writers, I do believe, , who get the best and most lasting response from their readers are the writers who offer a happy ending through moral development.” Voltaire’s novel Candide offers a happy ending (moral reconciliation) by transforming the protagonist, Candide, from being naive and overly optimistic to an optimist who has seen what the world really has to offer. Still, the ending of the satire signifies that the world is not necessarily the “best of all possible worlds.” At the start of the novel, Candide is like a babe in the woods, thinking that the world is the finest of all imaginable worlds (the philosophy of Pangloss, a metaphysico-thelogico-cosmolo-gist)
One of the main purposes of the Enlightenment was to promote reason and rationalism as a way to improve society and politics. However, Voltaire, an influential and famous philosopher and writer during the period of the enlightenment, repeatedly criticized certain aspects of Enlightenment philosophy. In his short story, Candide, Voltaire somewhat harshly attacks the optimism that was so popular between philosophers during this time and instead he decides not to disregard the inescapable presence of the evil that is in nature and humans. In this piece of literature, the protagonist of the story, Candide, experiences extreme changes in his reason and maturity. By the end of Candide’s topographical and philosophical journey, it is evident that
There are so many stories about people showing mercy. I chose this topic because I feel that I can relate to Sister Michael Marie in a way. She showed mercy to the people in Japan by going to save the animals after a large earthquake hit. She has a strong love for animals. Sister Michael Marie grew up on her family’s 40-acre farm that was filled with animals such as dairy goats, sheep, pigs, geese, chickens and turkeys, dogs and cats.
Satire is defined by the usage of various literary devices, such as irony, puns, and backwards logic, to criticize and poke fun at contemporary issues. Satire is commonly used to make a statement about society from the authors’ point of view. Two classical satirical works are Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and Voltaire’s Candide. Wilde was an author who used backwards logic and frivolity extensively to attack his targets, while Voltaire was a philosopher who used sarcasm and brutal imagery against his.
My favorite scene from Voltaire’s Candide was that of Eldorado, a utopia set away from the world and the opposite of what Europe is. The scene itself is ironic in that Candide and Cacambo don’t want to remain in the perfect utopia that they stumbled upon because of their pride and their greed. It’s an interpretation of human nature that suggests someone from our society cannot be happy unless they are set apart, on top. They see and desire the opportunity the jewels and gold present to them by leaving the safe haven of Eldorado rather than staying and being equal with all the other residents. The concept of greed is easily pictured when Candide says, “If we stay on here, we’ll simply be the same as everyone else, whereasif we return to Europe
In the short story, Candide the idea of evil is not present. There is a character in the novel that does not believe that evil exists, Pangloss. As Candide’s mentor, he has to show him that everything happens for a reason. Pangloss has the idea of optimism. As the novel progresses we see that Pangloss theory is wrong, Candide does not believe in it.
The Folly of Chosen Foolishness When pondering life it is common to find that optimism is at the root of every natural disaster, war, misfortune, and tragedy. No matter the circumstance, there are often multiple individuals left blindly hoping for the better. Voltaire’s novel, Candide, is a representation of Voltaire’s stance on this unrelenting optimism. The protagonist, Candide, and various characters are left facing various complications that offer an insight into their outlook on life.
