- ... that scientist "…had revealed a massive increase of iridium in rocks deposited right at the time of extinction. Iridium, a rare metal of the platinum group, is virtually absent from indigenous rocks of the earth's crust; most of our iridium arrives on extraterrestrial objects that strike the earth."(453) This backs up the theory that a large meteor could have been the cause of the dinosaurs extinction, if the iridium theory itself can ever be proved? Theories, theories, theories… does anybody do work these days? Svitil offers a similar approach. Her theory is that the Nubians where believed to use crop rotation (that's a different theory). This means that they would farm one crop and then another at a later time. The Nubians generally farmed sorghum and millet (C4 plants) followed by wheat and barley (C3 plants). She ... of C4 plants. Sorghum is low in vitamin B; a vitamin B deficiency can leave a person open to diseases such as pellagra. Thus this could have caused the end of that Civilization…But it's only a THEORY!

By the dictionary definition of murder, it seems that forcing someone to die in pain rather than ... minds of family members and friends for them to know they did all they could to save their dying loved one.

- ... them; the Internet. Up until a few years ago, when a student graduated they were basically thrown out into the real world with just their education and their wits. Most of the time this wasn't good enough because after three or four years of college, the perspective entrepreneur either forgot too much of what they were supposed to learn, or they just didn't have the finances.

- ... time and the high expense result from innumerable appeals, many over 'technicalities' which have little or nothing to do with the question of guilt or innocence, and do little more than jam up the nation's court system. If these 'frivolous' appeals were eliminated, the procedure would neither take so long nor cost so much" (Kronenwetter 29). The moral issues concerning the legitimacy of the death have been brought by many abolitionists. They think that respect for life forbids the use of the death penalty, while retentionists believe that respect for life requires it. Retentionists says the bible (Genesis 9:6) says, "Whosoever sheds man's blood, by man may his blood be shed." This classic argument in favor of the death penalty has usually been interpreted as a proper and moral reason for putting a murderer to death. "Let the ... of capital punishment have replied to this by saying that the death penalty is subject to miscarriage of justice and that it would be impossible to administer fairly.

At this point in the novel, Lucie Mannette and Mr. Lorry had just arrived in Paris to find Lucie’s father. The author appears to get off of the subject to describe the breaking of the wine cask.

Dorian Harwood’s profession as nurse also shapes his actions in the jury room. In the jury room, he acts with compassion and respect. As a nurse he does the same. His compassion lies in caring for another ... very opinionated and that definitely stands out in the jury room. He does not care what anyone has to say. He has his own beliefs and does not care or want to hear anyone else’s views. He is also known to be rude, because he shows no compassion or thought towards the boy on trial and he just wants to get it over with. He does not even stop to think that someone’s life is on the line, he is too concerned about his own. Tony’s profession does not give him the best qualities, as he does not have the best qualities in the jury room. ...
