Mellie's Scandal
I don’t believe Mayor is abusing Maribel because he stood up for her when no one else would and stayed by her side. Evidence for this is in chapter 8, where he stands up for her when Garrett confronts her for the first time, waits with her outside till her mom gets there, and on Sunday dinners when his family has her family over instead of going to his room he is with her. I believe after that moment they became a beginning of something special with evidence on page 74, “After that, something between Maribel and me changed.” The big changing point in there relationship is at Christmas when he gives her a red alpaca scarf and gets a kiss! Even though it doesn’t say they become dating, but with common thinking it was the start.
Ian Cabarcas Mrs. Teuscher English 10 October 19 2014 Mississippi Trial: 1955 The author, Chris Crowe, wrote a historical fiction novel titled, Mississippi Trial 1955, which took place in Greenwood, MISS.

Father and son relationships are a huge theme in this book.
Rivka was supposed to be at the camp before Hannah arrived. Gitl was supposed to be related to Hannah, not Rivka. In the book Rivka was at the camp way before Hannah was and wasn’t related to her. Gitl was a character that wasn’t even shown in the movie. Rivka was supposed to be a friend, not a
The second clause of the intellectual disabilities standard regards to the conceptional skills of daily life. The three areas noted by the CCA to make a diagnosis are conceptual, social, and practical skills. The petitioner, Bobby James Moore’s accusation is that the CCA used his deficits against his strengths. During evaluations the defendant’s deficits and strengths are both considered to establish if the defendant has limitations or not. Because the petitioner’s claim that Atkins needs legal determinations rather than a medical diagnosis, there is no need to discuss the Moore’s strengths.
“THE LIZZIE BORDEN CASE” On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were murdered in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzie Borden convicted of the murder and arrested on August 11, 1892. It seems obvious that Lizzie committed the crime due to the evidence provided, family problems and, the brutal nature of the murder. Lizzie and her family had problems, which means this could have led Lizzie to murder her parents.
In Louis P. Masur’s article, “Diary of a New York Lawyer,” he uses George Templeton Strong ’s diary of his life to show how the Civil War was both “momentous and trivial.” I found it interesting when Strong said the “the proceedings at the secession convention look childish. He found that the issue of slavery was similar to a domestic dispute. I agree with this point that he made because the Civil War was within the same country.
Harper lee creates a trial similar to the Scottsboro trial in her book To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee was a kid when the trial became popular so it would make sense to mimic the trial. It could have been a way to express her opinion on the unfairness of the trial. Mayella Ewells is similar to Ruby Bates because they both violated the social principle of segregation. Mayella Ewells tempted Tom Robinson by kissing him “She reached up an’ kissed me” Robinson told Atticus Finch when giving his testimony.
A woman named Shirley Anne Hall has up until December 8 to clear up her Walnut home of rotten oranges that have gone bad, cobwebs from spiders, vehicle parts, musty newspapers and a year’s worth of dirty dishes that have not been washed. Hall, who is age 54, must remove overgrown weeds in her yard and other debris from her yard, which is located on Bartlett Street, Orange County superior court Judge Randall Wilkinson said on Wednesday. If she fails to comply with the order which Judge Wilkinson made on Wednesday, the city will bring in work crews and send Hall the bill for the work the crews have done. The city has been trying to persuade Hall to sort through her mess since the year of 1988, city attorney Stuart Scudder said. Hall
Reverend Hale is still struggling with believing the truth but he finally believes in the third act. The third act takes place in court where John testifies. Hale now knows the truth and believes that justice will be served. Everything gets placed out in the open (it is a hoax, the affair, and the dancing in the woods) but Danforth and Hathorne do not believe it. “But it does not follow that everyone accused is part of it” (Miller, 215).
During the history of New York, there is the history of Tammany Hall founded in 1789 in opposition to the Federalist Party, and the main goal of this organization was to fight against the Federalist Party as Antifederalists. The Federalist Party’s main goal was to ratify the constitution and divide the power between the national government and the state government, so, the Tammany Hall was created to fight against the goal of the Federalist Party. Also, from 1890s to 1934, Tammany Hall became famous due charges of corruption against the leader William M. Boss Tweed, better known as “Boss”. Although this organization was guilty of some corruption cases, it succeeded because it helped poor people and because it never lost touch with its people;
Partisanship and Misconceptions Introduction The saying “the pen is mightier than the sword” is widely known and referenced. However, contrary to popular belief, actions may speak louder than words. This rings true in the case of Michelle Carter, this specific case has been a reoccurring debate, in terms of whether Michelle Carter should be found guilty or not guilty for the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III.
The Gilded age is an American History term meaning covered with glitter and gold and was applied to this period because of political corruption. President Grant was elected as president because of his war experience not his political background. He relied on his staff to help him make decisions. His staff was very corrupt and found themselves involved in many political scandals. Some of the issues that grant faced during his time in office was printing money, cheaper currency, and inflation.

The scene was described as streaks of blood and pools of blood everywhere. Now you could be asking what was all this for well with gangs it’s
“When Mr. Wickfield was ill, Uriah brought him papers to sign. He said that they were not important but actually they were very important. Mr. Wickfield signed the papers without reading them. He did not know what he was doing. Mr. Wickfield signed a paper saying that Uriah had lent him five thousand pounds.
In the film, Miss Evers' Boys, Eunice Evers demonstrates some unethical behavior when her and a fellow colleague begin a study on a group of African American men who suffer from syphilis.

They began the study by testing the African American men for the disease, then provided them with treatment. Miss Evers provided them with minimal information about the disease, in order to get them to participate in the study.
