- 1581: Friday
- ... the relationships of his family and other members of his neighborhood. With a zany cast of characters and a hilarious script this movie touches on everything from gang v lence to the use of drugs, crime, guns, relationships, sex and life in the ghetto. Because of all these issues, I found this an interesting movie with a wide variety of topics to address. Marijuana has been around for a long time ... use and sale of illegal drugs has risen dramatically in the past seven years (Gates 67). It's no wonder that this is happening with th use of marijuana becoming so popular again. Violence and crime are issues we hear about every day. We can watch any news broadcast and see the evidence of these increasingly worrisome problems. In Friday, both of these issues are very apparent. Debone, the neighborhood thief ... our minds, it was still a ghetto. Poverty and other social issues make it what it is.......a very depressing and frustrating place to l e. Because of all the negative ways of life including crime, violence, gangs, drugs and all the other things I've referred to in this paper, I would conclude this would not be the kind of lifestyle I would choose to live. Unfortunately, many of ...
- 1582: An Analysis of The Cask of Amontillado
- ... high point of emotional involvement. It is at this point that the reader may ask themselves if this is really about to happen. The conclusion lets us know that Montresor was never punished for this crime. Fifty years has passed and he is an old man telling the story on his deathbed. The true horror is that Fortunato died a terrible death, utterly alone, and his killer was never brought to justice. Perhaps the theme in the story is the least important feature. After all, it is about a senseless crime, and what sense can be made of such horror? Perhaps the idea behind the story is that no one can find refuge from a deranged mind, or that terrible crimes can be committed when an ... his hacking cough, and his laughter of despair as he is buried alive. We feel the dampness of the catacombs. Poe uses irony throughout the story. There is situational irony in the fact that the crime takes place during a celebration, that Fortunatos name means good luck, and that Fortunato is dressed like a jester. What is about to happen is just the opposite of what you would expect. ...

- ... Allies lost in World War II. The government in this novel gives no freedoms to its citizens. They live in fear because they are afraid of having bad thoughts about the government of Oceania, a crime punishable by death. By employing literary devices such as diction, foreshadowing, and symbolism, Orwell composes a novel "1984" which proves to be a gem in Orwell's collection of novels against totalitarianism. Orwell wrote 1984 ... bright, or "crisp", day in April. Most often April is considered to be a warm, wet month. Orwell implies that the seasons are mixed up or the world's climate is being controlled, possibly by computer or other means. (Lawrimore) This is yet another reference to the totalitarinistic military society. Throughout 1984, Orwell portrays this society as being controlled by a greater power, "Big Brother."

They had two dangerous nights ... but he wasn't Ian and Sarah helped hold it. Arby and Sarah were looking for some sort of hidden or previously undetected way out. They found it. It was a trap door under the computer desk which led to a maintenance tunnel. It was cramped but they were out. They waited until the raptors left until they took the now beat up, and low on gas explorer to the boat ... which they could take to the closest island of Puerto Cortes`. Practically the only good to come of this was that Levine got what he wanted. Arby and him set up a connection from the computer in the building, which had access to all the files and cameras on the island, to Levine's laptop. He could watch and record all the footage he wanted until all the cameras went ...
- 1586: A Case of Needing: Serious Revisions
- ... for all to see. It's interesting to consider what Crichton might do today if he were given a chance to revise this story. Aside from the twisters that would likely rip through Boston as computer-generated actors morphed into velociraptors, there would likely also be a more concerted effort to make the story not more three-dimensional, but less. The reduction of complex issues to easily grasp able arguments is ... book is not a total waste. By creating interesting (if somewhat stereotypical) stock characters, and placing them in somewhat contrived situations, Crichton does manage to explore some of the more complex issues surrounding a medical crime. However, through excessive detail and an unwillingness to weigh in sufficiently on some of the more important ethical dilemmas inherent to his tale, Crichton ends up obscuring more than he reveals. A Case of Need ...

With the increase in population comes an increase crime, this has also brought on encouraging new rehabilitating techniques to corrections. Stated by one government official the importance of reforming in corrections rather than retribution. "The government cannot be concerned any longer with out moded penalogical theories. Cram criminals together and see what happens. You get concentrated criminality, crime in the midst of punishment . . . Kill the criminal reflex, that's all"(Burgess 105,106). The rehabilitating technique used upon Alex is that of responsive conditioning with the use of drugs and visual aids. Conditioning ... corrections is concerned, society can not lock up every offender and can not come up with plausible means of curing the criminal element.

- 1590: The Scarlet Letter: Platform Of Sin
- ... characters are, and where they stand in relation to each other in the story. This scene is where Hester Prynne's sin first appears in the novel. The Goodwives of the congregation discuss Hester's crime of adultery: This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die (Hawthorne 59). The scaffold allows Hester Prynne's sin to be publicized and marveled at by the New Englanders. It is ... for the introduction of Roger Chillingworth, Hester'shusband, and establishes his desire to punish the man who has wronged both him and his wife. Chillingworth's conversation with one of the townsmen about Hester's crime serves as an example of his vengeful nature.
