    Book Review And Analysis: The Daughters Of FIR, By Teresa Rodriguez

    The police and prison officials were most often mentioned as drowning in deceit and hidden motives. Mario Escobedo, Jr. is one of the best examples of how far the state police would go. Escobedo was a defense attorney for bus driver Gustavo González Meza, one of the bus drivers arrested and charged with crimes related to eight women found killed in a cotton field after being kidnapped and raped. Meza had been arrested along with another bus driver, Javier “Víctor” García Uribe, and police stated that both had confessed to the crimes. Escobedo had taken Meza on as a client after much thought and consideration for his own safety. After receiving anonymous threats over the phone, Escobedo was shot and killed while driving home from work. Mario Escobedo Sr. worked tirelessly to prove the state police were behind his son’s death. Escobedo Sr. said, “I still didn’t know then that my son’s own executioners were the agents and comandante of the judicial police of the state.” (Rodriguez, Montané, and Pulitzer, 2007, p.…

    Vicario Brothers Quotes

    In Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Marquez details the murder of Santiago Nasar at the hands of the Vicario Brothers and the Society’s role in his death. Marquez uses a journalistic and magically realistic style in recounting the events that transpired in the town, using these styles to focus heavily on the societal ideals in the Colombian town. The heavy focus on Catholicism, and the honor that is associated with religion, is the Vicario Brother’s main reason for their murder of Santiago. The townspeople view the Vicario Brother’s as honorable men whose machismo and masculinity justify the killing of Santiago. However,…

    The Sweet Hereafter: Blame and Civil discourse

    We are surrounded by unexplainable horrors: gang violence and murder; hurricanes and other natural disasters cause hundreds of casualties; giant passenger planes crash into the ocean and hundreds die terrifying deaths. Justice and our search for moral peace seemingly require us to find an answer for these tragedies even though we subconsciously know that conclusive answers may not exist. Nonetheless, we need to blame someone. The courts often cannot decisively resolve who is to blame and even when there is closure, we generally have no cure other than imprisonment or compensation to make things right again. Efforts to assign blame often lead to suffering while the failure to make the effort leads to some lasting damage to the soul, both individual and communal. Thus, we seem to have no choice even though we understand that moral peace will not be found either way. This struggle to assign blame, responsibility and liability is the core of The Sweet Hereafter. The book was inspired by a 1989 school bus crash in south Texas which took the lives of 21 children, initiated multiple lawsuits and, in some ways, destroyed a community. In The Sweet Hereafter, Banks examines blame, responsibility, liability, lawyers, truth, greed, and the implications of community as a result of the tragedy. This horrific and unexpected event brings to light the moral implications of tragedy while questioning communal and personal responses to that tragedy.…

    12 Angry Men sociological analysis

    “12 Angry Men” focuses on a jury’s deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12-man jury is sent to begin deliberations in the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old Latino accused in the stabbing death of his father, where a guilty verdict means automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No.8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote.…
