Summary: In Don Thompson’s article entitled “5 Dead, Including Gunman, in Series of North California Shootings” which was published November 14, 2017, it begins with the author defining the unfortunate occurrences of the multiple victims involved in a shooting in Red Bluff, California. It is clarified that the suspected shooter has been shooting “... Hundreds of rounds, large magazines,” a witness reported. Oddly enough, the shooter had also been reported for a domestic violence incident that most of his neighbors were “aware” about. Though the devastating occurrence was one that changed the lives of many Red Bluff citizens, there remains information that is still unknown to the public eye. As Thompson opens his article, he begins to summarize…
Smail balic, a historian who has traveled the world, wrote a philosophical essay on whether or not he would forgive an SS soldier in the sunflower symposium pages 109-111. Balic claims he “would have done the same thing in not forgiving the solider” (109), simply because he has no right to. Since the solider did wrong to others and not him, he feels he cannot forgive him on the behalf of the whole Jewish community. First, balic starts his essay by giving his opinion on what he would have done and why he would have done it. Next, he starts quoting other experts to support his reasoning for not forgiving the SS solider.…

1.) In the documentary “Killing Us Softly 3”, the author Jean Kilbourne discussed judgments that are made daily towards women and men in our country. The documentary mainly focused on the body image that is used to sell merchandize reflecting body prints, along with printed ads. Furthermore, the ads portrayed that women had to be thin, young, and tall to fit a certain image of beauty. We as women, are taught that we must spend time, energy, and money in order to be considered as beautiful.…

I also think that Dashner was trying to get across to the reader the theme of bravery. In our story, bravery was something that the characters really needed in order to live the way they wanted. At numerous times in the book Thomas must call on his own will to overcome a frightening situation. “Two nurses- man and woman- were dragging a girl with brown hair down the hallways, and she was kicking and screaming the whole way. It was her.…

By using acid-base titration, we determined the suitability of phenolphthalein and methyl red as acid base indicators. We found that the equivalence point of the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was not within the ph range of phenolphthalein's color range. The titration of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide resulted in an equivalence point out of the range of methyl red. And the titration of ammonia with hydrochloric acid had an equivalence point that was also out of the range of phenolphthalein.. The methyl red indicator and the phenolphthalein indicator were unsuitable because their pH ranges for their color changes did not cover the equivalence points of the trials in which they were used. However, the methyl red indicator is more suitable, since it's pH range is closer to the equivalence points of the titrations.…
The article “Death Penalty” by Robert Kiener gives the public a summary of what the people think about the death penalty and why is should or should not be allowed. This article starts by saying how the Boston Marathon bomber started up the debate about the death penalty being or not being allowed again and how less of the people who used to support the death penalty now no longer support it any more.

Next, it states how death sentences have been going down anyways and put on hold because of…
The article “To Kill or Not to Kill” by Scott Turrow was written to examine the fairness and effectiveness of the capital punishment system. The author believes that it is important to address this issue because the current system is very flawed and cannot be trusted with consistent results, the author looked closely for the arguments of for and against the death penalty . In one of the first arguments that ambivalence in the death penalty is something that people have struggled through throughout the years, he uses statistics and percentages as well as emotional appeal to point people who are both for and against the death penalty in the same direction, As Turrow’s said “Many Americans question the system's over-all fairness and its ability…
Bill O’Rielly and Martin Dugard cover the struggles in the presidency and personal life during the shortened life of the 35rd President of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The book, published in 2012, thoroughly discusses the controversial events leading up to the murder of JFK and in a similar timeline, the events throughout the bizarre and twisted life of JFK’s alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

As one of the most influential and important First Ladies in the United States of America in history, Jacqueline Kennedy’s time in the White House was also critical to the development and success of John F.

As time elapses throughout the 1950’s to the 1960’s, the reader receives further insight of John F. Kennedy and those most relative to his legacy, whether that means being a wife, brother, child, mistress, or murderer.…
Hank Shaw’s “On Killing” is an article showing the readers that there is more than meets the eye on the sport of hunting. His style, use of first-person, and emotion really capture the reader’s attention and makes it easy to build a convincing connection through text. This relationship allows the reader to learn more about him as an individual versus just an author. Shaw’s title and opening line insinuates the piece might be about death and killings of some sort. A sad topic, yet he finds a way to turn this around into something beautiful and worth reading.…
District Attorney Kathleen Rice proposed the “No Deal” policy in hopes of giving less chances to people who were arrested for drunken driving and that have had previous convictions for the same offense. The punishment for endangering another human being should without a doubt fit the crime. The question is what is the difference between the casual drink and the people who over do it with their alcoholic beverages? Most people would argue that Kathleen Rice is single handedly attacking those who don't have the money to defend themselves. Personally, I do not stand for drinking and driving or being under the influence in anyway ; however the line needs to be drawn to make aware what IS and what is NOT acceptable. I want to say that if you commit a crime, you should have the full responsibility for your actions but there are other things to take into consideration.…
