As a child, he maliciously unleashes this inward wrath in the ceremonial killing of ... not wait for the jury to consider his case. Like the "mysterious visitor," he has convicted himself of murder and sentences himself death. Smerdyakov's vicious crime and brutal punishment complete a full life of violence starting at his conception. His passionately violent nature erupts implosively beneath a mask of implacable calm.

- ... appealing to the youth and the potential inductees to the gangs. However, with every good thing there also comes a bad side. The bad side is everything we don’t see.

Now of course there are situations where kids join gangs because there ... other way. That is all because of the fear factor, not respect. One thing that I feel a lot of people don’t understand is what gangs stand for. I mean yes they do symbolize violence in a way, but they can also symbolize unity amongst a community. It is not the faults of the kids that they are brought up in broken homes and in violent neighborhoods. As I said ... other way for a lot of them and they are just looking for a better way out.

- 598: More Freedom or Safety -- What Would You Choose?
- ... or Safety -- What Would You Choose? Where does one draw the line between individual freedom and the safety of the community? Recent tragedies in high schools around the country show a great increase in teen violence. The worst part it that these acts of violence aren’t just fights and shootings; they are planned mass murders in our high schools.

- 600: The Huckleberry Finn Controver
- ... from the truth Is the worst thing you can do. If kids don t learn about how slavery was then they won t truly understand where racism comes from. In the book there is much violence.
