Sudden Change Of Heart: An Analysis
To answer your question regarding why Patrick had a sudden change of heart; I believe that Patrick realized he did not need to kill Zachary to seek justice. The fact that he was successful in abducting Zachary showed him how easy it would be to kill him if he wanted. He showed Zachary how he should be grateful for being alive and indeed a Mulvaney could have hurt him for raping Marianne. As Patrick stated “He knows who I am, sure”, “I have executed justice”, “What an awful way to die” (Oates 302). After Patrick had this revelation in an instant, he realizes he did not need to kill Zachary to seek justice. He already got justice for Marianne as he showed Zachary how could of let him die, but let him live. As I stated in my post this week, I

    How John Proctor's Character Changes In The Crucible

    In the play, The Crucible there were many characters who stayed the same throughout the entire story, and there were others who changed. One of the characters who changed over the course of the play was John Proctor. He was an upstanding citizen in the community with one fatal flaw, his shame in sleeping with his servant, Abigail Williams. Over the course of the play, Proctor fights his guilt over what he did and faces whether or not to tell the court as he watches Abigail tear the lives of the people in the community apart. In the beginning of the play, Proctor's only goal in life was to keep his good name in the society, but he changed in an effort to save the lives of others in court. He did so when he finally told of his adultery with Abigail even though by the time he did, it was too late. While his plan to save the other people who were being tried for witchcraft had failed, he succeeded in freeing his own guilt with his confession. From that point on in the story, John Proctor was a heroic figure instead of a cowardly one like he used to be.…

    Character Analysis Of Hale In The Crucible

    His change occurs when Proctor confesses that Abigail told him that the sickness was not witchcraft. Surprised and confused Hale says, “his eyes wide: Abigail Williams told you it had naught to do with witchcraft!” (II, 65). This is partially because Hale has never been in this situation therefore he assumes abnormal things are normal. Listening to John Proctor, Hale is convinced that they are speaking the truth and decides to testify on behalf of Elizabeth. No longer believing Abigail he opens his eyes to a different perspective on the trials that allows him to see that those who have confessed did so to avoid the rope and those who have not, were innocent . This burden causes him to change for good. At the trial Hale begins to realize that the trials do not make sense as he says, ““Excellency, I have signed 72 death warrants; I am a minister of the Lord, and I dare not take another life without there be proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of conscience may doubt it” (III, 92). Hale using his new perspective on the trials, he begins to doubt whether those who he signed to death were really guilty and in result he refuses to sign any more lives away until he seeks the truth. As a true puritan, Hale responds by devoting himself to save lives of those who have been accused. His first attempt is to use his power and save Elizabeth from Abigail's false manipulated accusation.…

    CPR and defibrillation should occur within the electric phase for best outcomes. There are many possible causes of decreased resuscitation rates in young athletes. More young athletes suffer from SCA because of structural heart problems, making it more difficult to resuscitate them. It is easy for rescuers to mistake SCA for other conditions, such as seizures. It is also easy to mistake agonal breathing for normal breathing. The chain of survival is extremely important for optimizing chances of survival.…

    change of heart

    Did you know that animals and humans have lots of things alike? Kangaroos carry babies just like mothers carry their babies too. Tigers have to teach their babies how to hunt and humans have to teach their babies how to walk and talk. Birds have to break down their babies’ food, just like our mothers have to start feeding us little by little. Rifkin in his article “A Change of Heart about Animals” offers some compelling evidence that humans and animals share lots of things, but not all of his example are convincing. Just how humans use tools wisely Rifkin shows and explains how animals use tools, one of that is how birds can create their own tools and put them to use. Birds are very smart and very creative. They can make their nest almost out of anything they find. Birds’ main tool is their beak because it can be used for lots of different things, such as getting food from small places or materials for their nest. Rifkin shows an example of two crows that can make and use tools from that example you can see that humans aren’t the only ones who make and use tools. Animals have to teach their babies lessons on life. Mothers have to teach their babies everything, just how geese have to teach their baby goslings their migration routes. Rifkin used all the examples he could to prove that he has a point. He used a study that started “creatures behave by their instincts and what appeared to be learned behavior was genetically wired activity.” He means that learning is passed from parent to children, so by that it explains how something has to be taught to someone in order to be done. For example if a parent doesn’t teach his/her children how to walk the child will struggle. Rifkin wants his…

    Personal Narrative: Preparing In Summer School

    The puzzle pieces were starting to scatter apart when I got notified by my second grade teacher that I had to take that recuperation exam for math class. It wasn't a surprise, back then I wasn’t that efficient at math. I needed support, so I took tutoring in math courses for about a month and studied the whole content that I took for my second grade year. If I didn’t pass that test I knew I would be unsatisfied. That way I feel it’s worse than summer school. That's how it is in my country, which takes place in Honduras. I would say it’s tougher, based on the fact that there is major pressure. Besides, who would desire to repeat a school year over again? Definitely not me , I speculated.…

    Heart

    The expansion of legalized gambling poses a number of issues for policymakers. Two related issues, which have not been dealt with extensively from a public policy perspective, are examined in this commentary: state responsibility for addressing pathological and problem gambling, and the legal status and regulation of Internet gambling. A review of the recommendations of the 1998 National Gambling Impact Study Commission on pathological and problem gambling as well as state policies and practices indicates that little has been accomplished in dealing with the need for education, prevention, and treatment. Confusing and contradictory legislation and policies abound. Internet gambling flourishes, and federal and state governments are ambivalent about legalizing it. Both problem gambling and regulation of Internet gambling urgently need attention. The legalization and regulation of commercial gambling involves a wide range of public policy issues. These include such matters as how jurisdictions decide to legalize gambling in the first place, and what forms of gambling to legalize (e.g., lotteries, casinos, pari-mutuel racing, bingo). Another policy issue faced by jurisdictions that already have some form of legal gambling is the decision of whether or not to expand existing forms or add new ones. Once gambling has been legalized, jurisdictions face the issue of how to regulate it. For gambling businesses to succeed, gamblers need to be confident that the games are honest and that they will be paid if they win. One role of regulatory agencies is to ensure that gambling activities occur in such a manner that these conditions are met. Decisions about all these matters are made in a highly politicized environment and are shaped by a variety of competitive forces. The initial decision to legalize any form of gambling is typically supported by those likely to benefit financially or politically in some way and opposed by…

    the heart aroused

    “It seems that to find the real path we have to go off the path we are on now, even for an instant, and earn the privilege of losing our way. As the path fades, we are forced to take a good look at the life in which we actually find ourselves.” This thought from the author and poet David Whyte brings up important concepts about our lives. Sometimes taking a step back and observing our own nature is all we need in order to better understand ourselves and where we are going. However, it seems that along this path we spend far more time worrying and fretting about our fears than what it required to confront them and deal with them.…

    The Affect of Psychological Stress on the Heart Rate.

    The Affect of Psychological Stress on the Heart Rate.

    The human body is incredible machinery that can adjust to stressful situations and react in a “fight-or flight” manner by temporarily shutting off nonessential, at the moment, immune and digestive systems. When the body is ready for a challenge, heart rate increases, blood pressure rises and glucose production intensifies to supply large amounts of energy. These metabolic changes are caused by release of stress hormones (catecholamine and epinephrine) by adrenal glands. When stressful situation goes away, body returns to its normal state. But if the stress is chronic, the mechanism remains activated and organism is exposed to the high level of hormones for the long periods of time. As a result, blood pressure and heart rate are constantly elevated, which can take a toll on the cardiovascular system and cause a serious heart disease and even a stroke. (1)…
