What Mary Surratt’s Sentence Should’ve Actually Been Mary Surratt should have not been executed, but she should have instead received a prison sentence to life. This is because of her participation in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy and her dishonesty. First of all, she was partially in the conspiracy meaning that she was not one of the original co-conspirators. In Source 2 it says, “It is possible that Mary knew of the kidnapping plot but not the plan to kill Lincoln.”
“And know-I knew that he was beckoning-beckoning me to my death.” Adams, from the story “Hitchhiker”. In the “Hitchhiker” by Lucille Fletcher, there is a man named Adams who is driving from New York to California and along the way he is followed by a hitchhiker. In the “Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury, Leonard Mead goes out for a walk every night and one night he gets in trouble with the police. The “Hitchhiker” by Lucille Fletcher, is more suspenseful than the “Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury, because of the writing techniques: imagery, word-choice, and dialogue.
When her daughter is born she details her ecstasy but also her gut-wrenching fear that she will be separated from this little one she is attached to as
In the book “Asylum” by Madeleine Roux I believe that the author foreshadowed that Dan, the protagonist, was connected to the asylum. One of the reasons I think this because many things had happened to Dan that hadn’t to anyone else at the summer program. One example was when one of the old workers who tortured people was named Daniel Crawford, the same name as the Dan that went to the summer camp. I think the author did this so it could leave Dan and the reader with many questions. “Hey so it turns out that there was this warden behind all of this horrible stuff here, and oh, guess what, we have the same name.”
If we were able to make our children smarter, better looking, or more athletic, should we? Amy Sterling Casil had that exact scenario in mind when she wrote her short story, Perfect Stranger in 2006. Written in the first-person narrative that takes place in the distant future, Casil weaves a terrifying story of genetic alteration to “fix” our children’s flaws. What harm can it cause if gene therapy is performed as an elective procedure rather than medical necessity? Gary and Carolyn, expecting parents, find out their little boy will need gene therapy while still in the womb if they hope to spare him from a fatal heart condition.
Roses can vary in colour and type, just like any other flower. All roses may symbolize different sentiments and have different meanings. They are presented on occasions of all kinds. Shirley Jackson's short story "The Possibility of Evil," uses Miss Strangeworth's roses to symbolize her hidden back story to her spiteful, colourful notes. Is she really evil or does she just simply want a perfect, pleasant life?

Isolation in Lisa Moore’s Caught Isolation is the separation of a person from themselves, the society or the world around them. Human beings tend to favor isolation during harsh or painful situations that they would like to escape or forget. The recurring theme of isolation is seen in the novel Caught by Lisa Moore.
In her essay, “More than Just a Shrine: Paying Homage to the Ghosts of Ellis Island,” author Mary Gordon argues that a separation exists between the descendents of early American settlers and the descendents of later immigrants. Through reflecting on her experience at Ellis Island, Gordon demonstrates her connection to the Americans who passed through as opposed to those who influenced immigration policies. Gordon provides examples of how those already in America affected how Ellis Island received foreigners. Even at the beginning, New Yorkers and officials fought over where to locate the immigration center without distracting from their new Statue of Liberty.
And if this did not work, caregivers were made to understand that sometimes an infant’s cries cannot be soothed and that the best course of action is to walk away, calm down and then return. If they were having difficulty calming down, they were to call a friend or family member to talk through their frustrations. They were also told that crying does not always indicate that something is wrong. It is a normal part of a child’s development and does cause any physical pain to the child. And most importantly they were reminded never to shake the baby (Bechtel et al,
“The Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson has a truly unexpected plot and Mrs. Strangeworth has changed throughout the story. Mrs. Strangeworth is the main character in this book and in the beginning, she is a pleasant, caring old woman who enjoys roses and talking to others. The other people in the town have received rude and harsh letters from an anonymous person. During the end of the story, the reader soon finds out that Mrs. Strangeworth has been writing the letters and as a punishment, the people destroy her roses. Mrs. Strangeworth dramatically changes through the story and she teaches us the theme of appearance can be deceiving.
Infants will cry to begin interaction with the caregiver; when the caregiver responds properly, the crying will encourage attachment behaviors (Fannin and Hamblett, 2006). Cries may indicate that the baby is hungry, uncomfortable, lonely, in pain, overstimulated, or tired. Thus, caregivers must evaluate the nature of the cry for the meaning behind it. Cries, particularly those of the youngest infants, should be viewed as cries of distress (Schon and Silven, 2007), as newborns do not have the ability to soothe themselves when they are
Stacy Davis, self-proclaimed activist for feminism and womanism, is a “scholar trained in feminist theory and African American biblical hermeneutics” (Davis 23). In her article, The Invisible Woman: Numbers 30 and the Policies of Singleness in Africana Communities, Davis argues for a prominent place for single woman (specifically those who have never married) in biblical scholarship, and as leaders in the church, with questions of their sexuality left alone. Davis argues this viewpoint from the perspective as an unmarried black woman. Davis establishes the foundation for her argument in Numbers 30, a text that altogether omits reference to single woman, rather each group of women mentioned in the text about vows refers to them in relation to men (21). Thus, Davis establishes the omission of single women in the Hebrew Bible as the invisible women.
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride “The game is afoot” When Sherlock first premiered on the BBC in 2010, there were numerous factors that contributed to the instant success of the show, including the modern setting, the thrilling plot, catchy soundtrack, and the well-written lines. However, none of these factors were as significant as the brilliance exhibited by the cast and the chemistry they shared. Amongst Sherlock, Elementary, and the two Sherlock Holmes movies directed by Guy Ritchie, it is in the vicinity of unanimous agreement by fans all over the world that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are the perfect embodiments of Holmes and Watson. In addition to this, Sherlock has been the most successful in capturing the soul of its source material, albeit in a contemporary setting. Given this, one could not help but wonder how well these actors would have performed in the original setting of the books.
