A Short Story Of Anthony: A Fictional Narrative
Anthony stood hypnotized, staring at the gun in his hand. He darted aside the green garbage can in the narrow alleyway, as he pulled the trigger back and a bullet flew, he missed, shooting the wall instead. Adjusting his aim back on the FBI Agent once more, he aimed and pulled the trigger.

    I then hung the gun to my side and unlocked my door and opened it carefully, then the man outside my door kicked it in. the door hit me and knocked me off balance a little. I saw him pull out his hand gun it happened to be a Colt .45 model 1911 so I sprinted towards him and grabbed his hand and pointed the gun away from me. As we were struggling for supremacy over the gun he let off a round that whizzed by my head. At that moment my adrenaline kicked in at full potential and I slammed his hand against the door way viciously and repetitively until I broke the trim off around the door facing and he dropped the gun so then I kicked it away. I then brought my twelve gage into firing position and squeezed the trigger rapidly until I was completely out of ammunition.…

    The Protagonist: A Fictional Narrative

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    Anthony's Dilemma Story

    An In the story "Anthony's Dilemma", Anthony uses non-comprehensive language in describing a business situation. While he may not have been intentionally sexist, his use of language shows that he expects professionals and business people to be male, and that women in the business world are rare. It is important for Anthony to improve his sexist language, as he says, so that he won't offend anyone, but, more importantly, so that he will help to create an environment that everyone feels they belong. While some of the language issues seem small individually, they can all add up to an environment that is hostile to women, leading to the possibility of a less diverse work environment than is otherwise possible, and also to potential legal troubles.…

    Anthony's Dilemma Story Response

    After reading your discussion question answer, I have to agree with your classmates about it sounding sexist. You wrote you’re posting the same way you would talk to another person face to face. However, when you are communicating online, it is important to use inclusive language when you write it so it won’t sound as if you are speaking to specific people or genders and no one in your audience is singled out. There were several mistakes in the content of your post. First of all, you addressed all of your classmates as “guys”. Since you have classmates from different genders and diversities it may have been more appropriate to use terms that embrace all of those differences. Perhaps, you could have addressed…

    Gun Crime Research Paper

    The safety catch was on so he didn’t manage to shoot anyone. Back in 1928, the element of science behind ballistics was unknown territory for a jury. However the evidence presented by Churchill was outstanding, this resulted in the hanging of Browne and his colleague. The work of Robert Churchill brought the idea of ballistics into forensic science; it helped prove what gun had been used in the crime carried out. However, finding the gun that was involved could take years or the police may never even find it and at this time there was no proof of who had actually used the weapon. This was a downside of ballistics that caused problems for police and forensic scientists. Nowadays criminals know not to leave bullets at a crime scene and many don’t, as they know that without the bullet or the cartridge the gun used would never be found. Ballistics experts are now using a new piece of technology, in the programme …….. Gabriel Weston (the presenter) met up with crime scene analyst mark DeGiovanni; he has recreated the scene of a murder. It’s the case of US police officer deputy sheriff José Diaz, who was shot and…

    Examples Of Autobiographical Memory

    When I was five years old girl, I was often envious of my mother and grandmother cooking together for the Jewish holidays. I was too young to understand the dangers of the oven and the stove, so year after year I was frustrated that I was excluded from the meal preparation. After a few seasons of whining and complaining, my grandma decided to humor me. For the big feast on the first night of Rosh HaShanah, she enlisted my help. She chose an interesting dish my five year old self could actually help make: meatloaf mashed potato cupcakes. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed helping my grandma make them and for a few years it was somewhat of a holiday ritual. I would…
