In the chapter “Angela Whitiker’s Climb,” Isabel Wilkerson describes the struggles Ms. Whitiker suffers in her effort to change her class status and improve the lives of herself and her family, but it’s not a simple task. For instance, on pages 225-226 we see Angela make a decision: “She has performed a kind of emergency triage, banishing the infected to save the well.” For this paper, present an argument in which you answer the following question: Was Angela Whitiker right or wrong to push her sons Nicholas and Willie out of the immediate family circle?

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.…

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.…
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.…
