He feels guilt because of the way the man dies. As he stares at the man, O’Brien thinks about the man’s life before any of the war happened. “It was entirely automatic. I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not ponder issues of morality or politics or military duty.”(126). O’Brien didn’t think about anything in that moment. He knew that he had to do his duty, but felt as if he had no control whatsoever. “At night, lying on his mat, he could not picture himself doing the brave things his father had done, or his uncles… He hoped the Americans would go away.”(119) O’Brien shows the man’s perspective of his life. Though he didn’t know who the man was or his life story, he showed the readers his interpretation of his life. It shows that everyone in the war had a life before the war. Everyone has a different way of understanding the war and the way they deal with it after is based on them as well. Though he never met the man, he feels remorse for killing him the way he…
In reading this article, titled "The Death of Horatio Alger" written by Paul Krugman, I found the main focus was Krugman’s idea based off of the value of the article, “Waking Up From the American Dream.” The author communicates the suggestion of the American Dream dying. This would infer Americans would lose the capability for improvement economically different from how it used to be. Horatio Alger was a well proclaimed self-made man who received all the glory of an American dream through hard work. Krugman however, argues regardless of hard work, the hungriness for money is what has caused a stagnant shift in the economic society today, making the stretch for the American Dream…

This story is extremely disturbing to me in more ways than one. Its one thing to die in the line of duty, but to be killed by a fellow comrade is different. My heart goes out for the family’s that have been affected by this war in any way, shape or form. I can’t and don’t want to point my finger and put any of these people at fault. When I say these people I meant the Hospital, the Doctors, the murders, and all of the privates’ superiors. My husband has been in the service for the past three years, so I know what the military lifestyle is like. I also was related to a soldier with PTSD, and I believe there will never be a cure for this disorder as long as I live.…
In the late 1700s, the case of Silas Deane’s death was as good as solved and put to rest. His depression weakened his body enough, to lead him to illness and an inevitable death. Despite the lack of evidence that led to this conclusion, people were at ease with it so there were no reasons to further officially investigate his case. There were, of course, speculations from the skeptics of the age. Perhaps his death were self-inflicted or it were sabotage? The rumors, however, died down over time along with the memory of the unfortunate Silas Deane. Maybe, one can’t help but think, if those same doubtful individuals reopened his case and looked into the facts, along with his life at the time, they would discover that the conclusion in the papers doesn’t add up quite right.…
In this case study, there were seven murders of which the cause is hypoxia. All seven victims were from the same neighborhood with similar symptoms. These symptoms are dizziness, confusion, headache, shortness of breath, and vomiting. The individuals in this case study are in fact similar. They all have the same symptoms, and live in the same area. Questions a chief medical officer would ask are; how was the individual acting for the past few days, were they in pain, what sort of activities does the individual endure during a regular day, was the individual under stress, and etc. Yes, these deaths are connected. They are connected due to the fact, that all the victims took a Tylenol which could have affected a vital process in their bodies.…
Fate has been questioned since the beginning of time and whether humans have control over their destiny, or a higher power decides. In today’s society of medical and technological innovations the accepted attitude is that of free-will: that humans make their own destiny. In A Prayer for Owen Meany, Irving uses the motif hands, Owen’s fate, and its effect on Johnny to influence the reader’s view in the argument of pre-determined fate vs. free-will. In a world moving away from religion and pre-determined fate, Irving implores the reader to question how much control they truly have.…
She's thinking like a prostitute and could get away with it!!!! I just got disgusting by her personality and how she's using her intelligence in the wrong way for her evil scheme. And what makes matter worse was that she use her mother's curtain to make a dress in order to trick Rhett. (Did I mention how much I love how Mitchell describe Scarlett's current appearance? It not only shows that Scarlett changed emotionally but also physically)…
Having a loved one fight in a war is considerably almost as bad as dealing with death. Not knowing if my brother was ever going to see the people he loved, the room in our house that bears his name, or any other simple aspect of life that people take for granted, again, I wondered how he would evaluate his life if he were to look back on all the years. This thought sent a surge through my body and caused chills to run up my spine. I basically reassessed my…

Let’s create a thought experiment: Meet Dr. Gary Betley, a world renowned researcher of human cloning and among the first astronauts to touch the surface of Mars. He pilots a spacecraft entering the Red Planet’s atmosphere when tragedy strikes.

Heathcliff has just died, and Hareton is the only one who mourns over him. Hareton is referred to “the most wronged” because Heathcliff treated him terribly by working him hard and taking advantage of him. Ironically, Hareton is the only one who suffers from his death when he was treated worse than everyone. Hareton loved Heathcliff because that is all he knew. Heathcliff was the only parent figure Hareton had because Hindley passed away a drunkard at a young age. It is natural for a child to love their parent no matter how harsh of treatment they receive. Hareton has “a generous heart” because he loves a cruel man, which he has every reason not to. By “everyone else shrank[ing] from complementing” Heathcliff, it shows how much Heathcliff was…
