In the situation to be discussed Jack tried to kill Bert but instead killed Pratt. He then tried again to kill Bert but his weapon suffered a malfunction and he got into his car, put the gun in the glove compartment and disappeared from the scene. After reading the textbook, I understood that an attempt is a failure, according to Professor George Fletcher. There are three elements that comprise a criminal attempt; an intent or purpose to commit a crime, an act or acts toward the commission of the crime, and a failure to commit the crime.…
Additionally, Bridgeman’s superior stated himself that he needed to find a use for the steel, but would prefer that steel rings continued to be manufactured until inventory levels ran out in the following four months. This is ideal for Bridgeman because he may have a couple of customers that are hesitant to bring about change to their companies, and will only use steel rings because of the untested capabilities of the plastic rings. This would not only move physical inventory, but would also increase customer satisfaction with those particular customers. However, the pitfall here is that the customer may think that s/he is excluded from the plastic rings. They would have to understand upfront that it would be a transition process over to plastic rings while their confidence in them grew.…

Herschel discovered infrared light when he was observing the sun he noticed that when he put coloured filters over his telescope that different coloured filters heated up his telescope by different amounts. Using a prism he broke up visible light he put a thermometer in the different colours. He found that the temperature got more massive as he moved the thermometer from violet to red after this He then measured the temperature where there was no visible light ( red end of the spectrum) and it was the hottest. This is how he discovered infrared light. Herschel's early observational work soon focused on the search for pairs of stars that were very close together visually. Astronomers of the era expected that changes over time in the apparent separation and relative location of these stars would provide evidence for both the proper motion of stars and, by means of parallax shifts in their separation, for the distance of stars from the Earth. He soon discovered many more binary and multiple stars than expected, and compiled them with careful measurements of their relative positions.…

While there are many risks that are involved with any product launch of a company, there are also many opportunities to seize. Cole and Parker’s business idea is a solid foundation to market to their target market. The biggest opportunity that would need to be identified as their trademark is “Cole and Parker: Socks that Start Businesses” since there isn’t another sock company that would aid entrepreneurs to start their own business. This is the key driver in selling their product and gaining market share over other rivals. Other opportunities are to sell in an area where other competitors aren’t present or where the market is unsaturated, offer a uniquely priced item, and to capitalize on a unique style of sock, and helping other build their businesses by selling their item(s).…

Throughout the course of my history career, which is not very long, teachers and professors have always focused on the point that General Grant was a butchering alcoholic who won the war solely on the account of his stubborn personality. And on the other hand, teachers portrayed General Lee as a masterful strategist, who used Christian values in order to win the rebellion. However, in Fuller's account of the two Generals, he alleges through data and personal intuition that General Grant was actually a strategist and mastermind that not only won the war but also, lost fewer soldiers.…
They say that you can’t change your fate. That the path you are supposed to travel is set in stone and the choices you’re faced with weren’t yours to be decided. Is it true? Are we really just a small part of something that a higher power thinks we’re too feeble-minded to understand? No, we make our own choices; we are in charge of our lives and have the ability to change our lives if we want to. And that’s exactly what Chris McCandless and Timothy Treadwell did. They weren’t happy with the life they had so they lied, changed their names, and abandoned the lives they had for something they wanted.…
Throughout history, people have assembled mixed attitudes towards the Puritan community. However, after analyzing a passage from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, I have realized Hawthorne’s attitude towards the Puritans. The author cleverly portrayed his perspective through his syntax, diction, and imagery. Based on the authors writing style, I have concluded that Hawthorne finds the Puritans “severe”, “grim”, “rigid”, “awful”, and “cold”.…

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains to be one of the most controversial books that are taught in schools today. Many argue that it is racist and perpetuates inaccurate stereotypes. Although Mark Twain uses racism throughout the book, the novel should still be taught in schools. Even though there is a lot of controversy, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn deserves to be taught in schools because it uncovers problems of intolerance and teaches readers valuable lessons about human nature and society.…
