- 1921: Night
- ... people is right? I know I would not. Do you remember when Mr. Hale stated that whatever his conclusion was about the village, it would be honored? Do you call dismissing Mr. Hale like a child, as honoring his word? To me that seems considerably dishonorabe. That means that you lied. So what is that make you, does that give us the right to put you in jail? No it does ... don't you let God and the evidence judge us. On a personal note, my wife was going to have my baby and five months, but now since you have hung her, I have no child and no wife. My wife was a wonderful person, and she would have been a wonderful mother. That time has gone, and now she is with God. Do you want to do the same thing to Mr. Proctor? If you hang him, his child will grow up without any parents. If you had any decency, you would at least let Mr. or Miss Proctor live. I urge you to take what I have said to the consideration. Just ...

The publicity of the ordeal caused the Lindbergh’s with their other son Jon Lindbergh to move to Europe for safety and privacy. Hauptmann could not actually be executed for kidnapping and the child’s death was said to be accidental. He could not even be executed under the "felony murder" doctrine because kidnapping was not a felony in New Jersey. However the public and prosecutors wanted the ...
- 1923: The Joy Luck Club Anthro
- ... more than her, and grow up to be strong. My mom grew up thinking that she was less than what her brother was, since she was born a girl. For me I am the middle child, and I have a younger brother, but my mom treats us the same. My mom married my dad and of course my grandmother likes it cause my dad is Chinese. But I see my grandmother ... thought that she didn t have to kill her son to take something away from her evil husband. I think that I acted this way because I was raised in America. Knowing that adultery, and abuse is wrong, I think that I could have taken the son with out killing him. I think that I acted in an ethnocentric manner, because of the way that I grew up. In America you ...
- 1924: What Are Values?
- ... teenagers getting into trouble. The decline of values among the American youth is a serious problem. The decline of values among youth have led to an increase in crime and violence, sexual activity, and drug abuse. Today youths are committing more crime and acts of violence more than ever. News stories of kids killing kids and students carrying guns to school are common throughout America. Since 1985, more than 28,500 of America's youth have died from gunshot wounds and today, every 90 minutes a child is killed from a firearm( ). Before people used to try to solve their problems with their fists, but now kids use guns as a solution to their problems. Guns are more easily accessible today. Kids ...
- 1925: Huck Finn
- ... However, Huck's free-spirited soul keeps him from joining the organized life the two women have in store for him. The freedom Huck seeks in Tom Sawyer's gang is nothing more than romantic child's-play. Raiding a caravan of Arabs really means terrorizing young children on a Sunday School picnic, and the stolen "julery"(12) is nothing more than turnips or rocks. Huck is disappointed that the adventures ... completely antisocial and wishes to undo all of the bad things that the Widow and Miss Watson have attempted to instill in Huck. However, Pap does not symbolize freedom because he promotes drunkenness, prejudice, and abuse. So, Huck escapes the cabin to search for the freedom of which he is in need. It is after Huck Finn escapes to Jackson Island that he meets the most influential character of the novel ...
- 1926: The Real Reason Behind The Rec
- ... Considering the fact that the media wore the Columbine incident out, I wanted to know why they did not pay more attention to this school shooting. As evidence did arrive, it was discovered that the child lived in a household where cocaine, heroin, and many other illegal drugs were commonplace. Also in this “home” guns were easily accessible to the child. Children growing up in this type of environment certainly are likely to be held accountable for future violence. Even though I am against the news media presenting too much school violence, Americans should have been deeply disturbed by this shooting because of the child’s young age. The Michigan shooting should have enlightened Americans to the dilemma we face in this country. Two weeks after the Columbine High School shooting, information on the mass murder was still being ...
- 1927: Genetic Cloning
- ... at something that could be made possible by cloning, the genetic engineering of children not yet born. It could be the end of birth defects. If given the choice to be able to make a child perfectly healthy and have the traits you want in your child, would you do it? Infertile couples would be able to have babies. Organs could be cloned for transplants, no more searching endlessly for a donor, just clone one up. Cloning could also be the answer ... effect. Fertility clinics are cloning the embryos from parents with genetic disorders. They clone an embryo and than test it. If the embryo is good, they implant the cloned embryo. This should guarantee that the child would not share the genetic disorder with its parents. The government is in much action over what to do with the issue of cloning (Committee Report). State representative Charlie Brown authored legislation that would ...
- 1928: Billy Sunday
- ... father’s death and a series of other deaths would come to have a tremendous impact on Sunday’s life. For the first three years of Billy Sunday’s life he was a very sickly child. His mother, Mary Jane, would carry him around on a tote pillow while helping her parents plant corn, milk cows, chop wood, and wrangle horses. Then a traveling doctor prepared a syrup that Mary Jane fed to Billy every day for three weeks. Miraculously, Billy gained strength and became a normal active child. Luck changed for Billy’s family, but only for a short time. His mother remarried and had two more children. Sadly, the second child, a girl, died in a fire when she was three. Not long after, Mary Jane’s second husband died also. These untimely deaths left a mark on young Billy that stayed with him for ...

- 1930: The Human Cloning Controversy
- ... medical world. Lastly, human cloning offers many potential benefits to society. The first use of human cloning could be used for infertile couples; homosexuals and single parents would have the chance to have their own child whom they love for itself (Robertson). Many people oppose the idea of using cloning to solve infertility problems. On the contrary, doctors, scientists, infertile couples, and others who are not able to have a child think it is a logical solution and that cloning should not automatically be ruled out. It may be worth pondering why these techniques are not in use saving lives, curing diseases, and giving infertile couples a chance to have a child of their own. It is the fear, ignorance, and perhaps selfishness of the public. These conceptions will change in the near future, it is hoped, so that the world may sooner enjoy the benefits ...
