The Death Of Antoine Meunier's Tattoos

661 Words3 Pages

NUMBER 1 This is a gun on top of a pair of handcuffs. It represents Antoine shooting himself rather than going to jail. “As has been previously reported, Meunier’s son, Antoine Meunier, shot himself with an antique firearm at the family property in order to avoid being taken into custody” (Foley 354). To me, this made the most sense for a tattoo because he obviously did not want to be arrested for something that he did not do. He would rather be dead than in jail. Jail or death. This was not a very difficult decision for Antoine. As much as I want to blame Antoine for the murder of his father, Jacques, it was ultimately not him that did it. Mimi was the murderer, but was blaming Antoine. It made sense for everyone to side with Mimi because nobody liked Antoine. Mimi also had a relationship with Ben which is …show more content…

I am giving him this tattoo because he would not want it. After all, he did get stabbed by Jess after being confronted by her. This is eventually what led to her finding the injured body of Ben because she went to the top floor of the apartment building to hide, where Ben’s body was. “I lunge the knife toward him, slashing so violently at the air with the blade that he staggers backward and falls down the flight of stairs” (Foley 323). Jess was confronting Nick at the same time as she was confronting Antoine. I believe that she ended up stabbing Antoine because he could not be trusted. I do not feel bad for Antoine because in my opinion, he deserved what happened to him. The knife was a MAJOR part of the book. I think it deserves to be tattooed on Antoine because he was the first one to get stabbed by it. NUMBER 3 The next tattoo is a broken glass bottle. I chose this because I think it represents Antoine’s life in general. When you break something that is made out of glass, it goes everywhere. It makes a ginormous mess that you have to clean up. Kind of like Antoine’s life,

Shay is moving away from her hometown and she has to say goodbye to her boyfriend, and she wants him to remember her forever.

This clearly illustrates Jason Reynolds's use of symbolism as he explains the tattoo that is forever imprinted on his body is representing the love Daunte had for Shay.

Many people may not see any similarities between the presidencies of Bill Clinton and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. At a first glance their time periods seem very different, and their economic and domestic policies may seem different as well. When truly comparing these two Presidents, however, many similarities can be seen between each of their terms in office. They each reacted to recessions, created economic opportunities, and furthered social issues such as education in the same manner. Due to this, I believe that Clinton and Roosevelt were very similar presidents, both in actions, decision making, and results.

She knew that he had a wife and kids waiting on him but she kept her mouth shut. Putting this man to death would not help her, it would not get her out of the situation she was in at home. What had happened to her was terrible, but nothing excuses putting an innocent person to death over a crime that he did not commit. She does not deserve pity because she knows what she is doing, and she knows that a life will be taken away because of

Andres Martin’s child psychiatrist friends probably expect Martin’s evidence to be a case that happens repeatedly. When trying to prove if evidence is credible one must use the “STAR criteria”, and if a piece of evidence is able to meet its expectations it is considered credible to verify the evidence it must be sufficient, typical, accurate, and relevant. Andres Martin tries to prove that although tattoos can be used for stability for a teenager throughout their life, there are incidents where the “quest for permanence’ is misleading and adolescence get unneeded tattoos. Andres Martin uses a case vignette to prove this point, “A proud father at 17, "B" had had the smiling face of his 4-month-old baby girl tattooed on his chest. As we talked

In a similar historical context, he said, tattoos had been associated with folks in the military or those associated with illegal activity. Wooster Police Chief Matt Fisher, who said his department bans all visible tattoos that were not part of the package when an officer was hired, said he's “gotten no push back and no one has called to complain.” While he said visible skin art “could bother the older generation,” Fisher said, “I hope the level of service we provide would help overcome those

I think the murder game is a representation of how you are as a person. So, the symbols that I chose were a no brainer. For sex, I chose birds and bees because everyone knows what you are implying when you say “The birds and bees.” The second symbol is love, and I chose a single red rose surrounded by hearts for the reason that people are given roses by mostly loved ones. As the third symbol, I chose a photo of my friend and I at a One Direction concert because concerts, to me, are some of the most fun things.

Once the survey was conducted, the results were tabulated and analysed so that a conclusion could be determined. In this study, southern Canadians are questioned about their motivations to get tattoos, and results are compared to ancient tattoo traditions from other cultures to conclude that southern Canadians, more often than not, do attach profound personal meaning to their tattoos. To understand why a person might tattoo their skin, a practice known to be permanent and painful, research was directed toward the history of tattooing. It was discovered that the art of skin modification had been traced back to 5300 years ago by dating a mummified corpse ordained with tattoos (Haskings-Winner, Collichaw, Kritzer, & Warecki, 2011). The tattoos of
