Notoriety a Modern Myth High profile court cases have been getting increasingly popular as time goes on. Court cases like the Casey Anthony and Scott Peterson trials are media dynamite. Although the media is legally allowed to be a part of these court proceedings, they still cause drama and stipulations that many feel would not be a factor if their presence were withdrawn.

Many may believe that notoriety is a determining factor in high profile cases, but all legal proceedings are conducted in the same manner whether heavily documented in the

When I see one of the main characters, Susan Smith, I think of the simile “Susan is like a wheelchair because she helps Ada to be able to do things even though she has many disadvantages,” because even though Ada has many disadvantages of doing many stuff, Susan always finds a solution to make Ada to be possible to do many things like a wheelchair which makes disabled people to be able to move around. Ada is a girl with clubfoot, a foot that is twisted out of position since birth, meaning that it is impossible for her to be able to move around easily without surgery.
