When Did Edward Break The Law
Edward broke the law by breaking into someone else's car, running a red light and a stop sign, plus running over a mailbox and being chased by a policeman all in the name of getting his daughter to the hospital. That night Edward was arrested and the next day seen by a judge. Edward is willing to break his belief in the law and framework of the government to keep his promise to his daughter and wife. In this scenario Edward had to make the decision of either keeping his promise to the society or to his family and he chose his promise to his family. In this essay I will tell you the concepts that follow Edward’s thinking, tell you their definition and show you a direct quote from the scenario on how the concepts coincide with the scenario.

    All actions have consequences. Sometimes one does not have to participate in the action, but only be related, and the crime committed can have serious consequences for everyone. The consequence, or lack of consequence, is determined by one’s upbringing. This is clearly the case present in Robertston Davies’ Fifth Business. Although Boy committed the crime, Dunstan feels a profound sense of guilt about the snowball incident. On the other hand, Boy obliterates his guilt. Guilt and lack of guilt can clearly be seen through character’s lives, relationships and philosophies.…

    The Cask of Amontillado

    Edgar Allen Poe was a master of the horror genre and The Cask of Amontillado was no exception. This was the story of what may have been a perfect crime. Narrating events that took place fifty years before, Montresor, a wealthy Frenchman, began the tale by explaining that Fortunato, a fellow wine connoisseur, after a series of unknown events insulted him. Although Montresor never states what this insult was, he was angry enough about it to premeditate Fortunato’s murder. Montresor’s true goal lay not only in revenge, but also in escaping punishment for the crime. The central idea of The Cask of Amontillado is about freedom: with freedom to make choices, some people choose revenge and will go through whatever means necessary to exact it.…

    Juvenile Justice

    Edwin Desamour was driving with his 3-year-old son in their Philadelphia neighborhood when the little boy looked up and said, “Daddy, look at the moon! I want to go there,” so his father did what many parents would: he bought his son books on science and space and encouraged him to believe that his dreams can come true. Edwin’s son has been blessed with a vastly different childhood than Edwin had. Edwin grew up poor in a violent neighborhood in Philadelphia, surrounded by drugs, guns, and rimes. At age sixteen he was convicted of homicide. The time he spent with his father as a teenager came when they were assigned to the same cellblock in prison. Edwin was caught up in dangerous surroundings he did not chose, and his violent actions as an adolescent resulted in terrible loss, but he matured in prison and was determined to earn parole so he could return to his old neighborhood and make a difference in the lives of other young men (Edelman 1). Juvenile justice refers to teenagers going to jails for committing crimes like stilling, killing or abusing someone or even a school fight. Well for me juvenile justice is wrong because every person deserves a second chance because nobody is perfect. Kids are able to change after their first mistake. My topics are about students that regularly show up in the courtroom who shouldn’t be there and youths being treated like adults are it right or wrong? And my last topic is about the courtrooms are they being racist or are they obeying the law.…
