His life was ordinary and he wasn’t exceptional, and he wanted so much more than his mundane routine. The movie begins with a scene of Joe walking into the factory where he works. You can tell very obviously that he hates his job from the tone in the first four minutes. As soon as he gets out of his car Joe finds his foot landed in a puddle of mud, but this didn’t even seem to faze him. His face read, “Of course this happened, this happens every day”, as he proceeded down the muddy path with everyone else. As he walks down the crooked road that leads to the gates the sole of his shoe rips, and after recognizing this he continues to traipse along. He gets pushed into the courtyard and throws his hands in the air and looks to the sky as the song in the background plays: “Another day older and deeper in debt - Saint Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go - I owe my soul to the company store”. Joe is a classic victim of an “everything bad happens to me” scenario. He hates his job and he always complains that the office was making him sick. Every day was the same monotonousness. He had completely lost his passion for life. He was constantly distracted at work and didn’t really care. Once Joe found out he was sick, quitting his job was the first thing he did. He didn’t want to waste his last bit of life working at the same place he had been at for four and a half years; doing work he claimed he could’ve done in six months. “That’s four years wasted. If i had them now, it would be like gold in my…
This paper utilizes Osama ((Usama)) Bin Laden (UBL) to explain the effectiveness of “psychology of defeat” and how it was implemented by terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda. At 13 years old UBL’s father, a Yemen billionaire, died leaving him an $80 million dollar trust fund. Throughout UBL’s early life he felt ostracized by his family enhancing his frustration of his lack of social status. Being overshadowed by his brother’s, especially elder half-brother Salim, Osama eagerly looked for a purpose in life. Circa 1973 UBL lived a much westernized lifestyle in Beirut going to night clubs, drinking and often embroiled in shouting matches resulting in the occasional fist fight. At 24 years old UBL graduated from King Abdul-Aziz University,…
Sammy Saunders, was a young boy, about 5 foot 2, with a mop of brown hair that was always sticking out on the sides. He wore thick glasses that made his eyes pop out of his head, and he had a nose that looked as though it was pointing at you. He always wore the same pair of blue sneakers that had a blood stain on the toe from when Big Billy Benson punched him in the nose, causing it to bleed. Poor Sammy was always bullied because, he was just a little bit different than the rest of the kids at Sleepy Hollow Middle School.…

The health workers were used specifically for their knowledge by the CIA. The overall idea of capturing Big Laden might be understandable, but it is hard to believe and validate that action if it results in such means. The CIA used these people who were trusted within the community in hopes to adapt to the local context and find Bin Laden, however the CIA didn't realize the negative outcomes of their so called "purposive action." One may argue that finding Bin Laden could've saved many lives,. but on the other hand lives were also lost due to the poor vaccination and violence leading to death among the health care workers. This officially led the community, after learning about the identity and work of the CIA to lose trust in them, who were…
Tupac, or 2Pac was an African-American rapper who had sold more than 75 million records worldwide, and was considered a hip-hop legend throughout his career. He was born on June 13th, 1971 and died a very tragic death on September 13th, 1996 . His death caused much sparkness to occur as of who it was that killed him, not of how he died. A lot of factors played in during his death, and considering the complexity of the murder, it was hard to tell if the death had been staged, or if it was all an act. Although, considering the circumstances, rivalries, and suspicions it can be concluded that Tupac Shakur was killed by the Crips gang, and that he isn’t alive in spite of the rumor that states that Tupac is still alive, or that his boss Suge Knight killed him.…
The assassination of Osama Bin Laden occurred due to cultural reason; however, it was justified. Osama Bin Laden discriminated against americans, he caused one of the most horrific terrorist attack in american history which is 911 and he killed up to 2977 people in one day. Critics, however, some may argue that the assassination was unjustified, due to the Persian Gulf war also known as Operation Desert Shield where american troops invaded Saudi Arabia and killed over a 1000 civilians and injured even more this is a valid reason why Osama Bin Laden would have a vendetta against the american nation he said “just like you kill us, we will kill you”(Mary Cummings2).The assassination of Osama Bin Laden occurred on May 2, 2011 over ballistic trauma…

On the morning of September 11,2001 nineteen men hijacked four planes. Only hours later 2,977 innocent people were killed. Have you ever wondered what a criminal mastermind could contribute to a society? I thought about the same thing when I saw Osama bin Laden’s name on the list of people to choose for this project. This is the main reason why I picked Osama bin Laden for my report. I wanted a challenge, not an easy look up in two seconds type of research report. Osama bin Laden actually did contribute a few things to our society, not to give him credit, but he did indeed contribute something. “No man has had a greater impact on American culture in the 21st century than Osama bin Laden.” (One-man show:How Osama bin Laden).This…
“After Queen spent twenty eight month as Billy St. John, a bearded beer swinging, Harley-riding gangbanger, the truth of his identity became blurry, even to himself” (cover). Billy St. John is known as the undercover cop with desires to enter and then expose one of the rowdiest motorcycle gangs called the Mongols. The Mongols were a motorcycle gang, small in size, but tough on anyone that crossed their paths. These guys wore black and white patches to symbolize the colors of their gang. The patches were an identity to them, along with their motorcycles. Queen initially figured out “It’s no small feat to become a bona fide member of an outlaw motorcycle gang; it entails tests of loyalty, fortitude, stamina, and physical prowess” (35).…

Joe starts to loose his connection with the reader making their relationship weaker and distancing them. This happens because Joe makes use of multiple stories in this part of his narrative, he constantly switches back and forth from one story to the next, resulting in the uncertainty of the reader. This is shown when he says, ‘I would have liked to tell the story…fondly against his arm.’ This passage includes Joe’s thoughts about a previous part of his life, the conversation that he was presently…
“So subdued I was by those tears, and by their breaking out again in the course of the quiet walk, that when I was on the coach, and it was clear of the town, I deliberated with an aching heart whether I would not get down when we changed horses and walk back, and having another evening at home, and a better parting. We changed, and I had not made up my mind and still reflected for my comfort that it would be quite practicable to get down and walk back, when we changed again. And while I was occupied with these deliberations, I would fancy an exact resemblance to Joe in some man coming along the road towards us, and my heart would beat high. – As if he could possibly be there!…
