The origin of document 1 is from William Cooper's testimony before the Sadler Committee in 1832 in Great Britain. Based on the format (question and answer), it is most likely from a court transcript. The main point of this testimony is to show that children were forced to work long hours and because of this, they had no time to attend school. He states in the testimony that he had to work 16 hours a day, and of those 16 hours he had only one forty minute break. William Cooper's testimony tells us that he did not enjoy working in the factories.
Through out the two films, Juror 3 and Abigail Williams are both motivated my their own personal desires and dislikes. Both of them go about the film similarly, making threats towards the other characters. We hear Juror 3 tell Juror 8 he will kill him in a fit of rage, without any real intention behind his words. This is meant to intimate Juror 8 however only succeeds in making Juror 3 look foolish. Whilst Juror 3 's threats are empty, Abigail 's are not.
Introduction The article “Is C.T.E. a Defense for Murder,” published in The New York Times, Amy Dillard, an associate professor at Baltimore School of Law, and Lisa A. Tucker, an associate professor at Dexter University’s Thomas R. Kline School of Law, give their views about Aaron Hernandez being convicted of murder. They believe that instead of sending him to prison he should have been sent to a therapeutic hospital to help with his brain disease. I chose this article because C.T.E. is a big issue right now with the NFL. This has been affecting many of the players and the sport itself.
When Nicholas Vidal, a gang member, is told a prophecy of his death his entire life changes. After allowing a Turkish woman to read his fortune in coffee grounds, the woman confirmed that he would one day loose his head over a woman. In the Judges wife by Isabel Allende, the author uses imagery, foreshadowing, and symbolism to covey her story of Nicholas Vidal. Since confirming his prophecy, Vidal shunned women out of his life in fear of the prophecy coming true. When Judge Hidalgo marries Casilda, Vidal is very unpleased by the sight of her even going as far as calling her ‘ugly’.
Throughout the passage from The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne uses Hester’s baby, Pearl, to illuminate the theme of beauty in a dark place. Once released from prison, Hester, an adulterer, becomes a public spectacle. Through this hard time, Hester has her daughter Pearl to soothe her and to bring her strength and hope for a better future. By using vivid imagery and juxtaposition, Hawthorne depicts Pearl as Hester’s happiness, light, and beauty during a sad and lonely time. While in Prison, Hester is all alone and depressed.
Witness for the Prosecution “The ultimate mystery is one’s own self” (Sammy Davis Jr.). Mysteries have an allure that keep audiences intrigued and engaged on what will happen next. “Witness for the prosecution”, originally written by Agatha Christie, is no different in the sense that both the short story and visual adaption keep the audience on the edge of their seat as the apprehensive story unfolds. Although the storyline for the short story and movie adaptions both follow the same repertoire, there are a vast number of significant differences that keep the audience entertained and in suspense of what is to come next.
In “The Brain on Trial”, David Eagleman claims that the justice system needs to change its sentencing policies due to the discoveries of neurobiological diseases that cause their sufferers to behave in socially unacceptable ways and/or commit crimes. Eagleman uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to present his viewpoint. The most important one is his appeal to logic. By using mostly examples, along with direct address to the readers, Eagleman is able to argue that the legal system has to modify its sentencing policies to take into account the advances made in neuroscience due to the increase in the amount of accused and/or convicted people who have been found to have harbored some kind of brain disease or damage. Eagleman
A group of juror comprising of 12 men from diverse backgrounds began their early deliberations with 11 of ‘guilty’ and 1 of ‘not guilty’ verdicts. Juror 8 portrayed himself as a charismatic and high self-confident architect. Initially, Juror 1 who played the foreman positioned himself as self-appointed leader of the team in which has led his authority to be challenged as his leadership style lacked in drive and weak. In the contrary, Juror 8 is seen as the emergent leader considering his openness to probing conversations while remaining calm. Implying this openness to the present, it has become crucial that a good decision relies on knowledge, experience, thorough analysis and most importantly critical thinking.
Throughout the speech, another scheme King uses frequently is parallelism, the strategy of repeating similar clauses, several times. Parallelism is useful to emphasize things and ideas to the audience, which, like all the other tropes and schemes. Early in his speech, King writes “riches of freedom” and “security of justice” and then “justice rolls down like waters” and “righteousness like a mighty stream.” In these two examples, King is using parallelism to express that the African American wants justice and freedom by repeating them next to each other and mentally connecting them in the reader’s mind, which is also connected with pathos as the terms King uses subtly emphasize those words and create good feelings in the reader. As campaigning
Others fully devote every moment to being fate or luck. Saying that they met this person because of fate when in reality it was by chance and was made into something special. But all of it is superstition as agreed by many. Because humanity just makes things up in order to try and understand things we
The Trial, published in 1925, after Kafka’s death in 1924, depicts the internalized conflict Joseph K faces in a society flawed by its abusive power in the law system. The oppressive and mysterious trial wins the reader’s attention in trying to figure out, at the same time as K himself, what the latter is accused of. On the morning of his 30th birthday, Joseph K disregards his accusation as he presumes to be innocent. However, as the protagonist evolves throughout the novel, his conviction of an unavoidable execution leads him to fame his “shame.” Joseph K is a developing character.
We were invited to a friends going away party that day, so we went. While we were there, the atmosphere was so exciting; everyone was laughing, smiling, making new friends, and just having a good time all around. My friend had invited my brother and I to go outside and play on the swings and we did. We challenged each other to see who could go the highest and talked for a little bit, until I felt a buzz in the back pocket of my jeans. It was my phone, so I pulled it out to see who was ringing me.
Unexpected things happen, they just do. I mean, come on, no one just expects to die in a plane crash. Now I am going to just show you how unexpected it was, the day I died, starting from the moment I opened my eyes on July 29th, 2013. I woke up to the irritating, ear splitting sound of my new alarm clock. I always slept through the sounds of the other one.
