As the severity of crimes in the United States escalates the requirement for adequate punishment to match this increase also rises. In short, the more violent the criminal offense the more severe the sentence to be served will be, and the judicial system has often escalated the means by which this can be achieved, by enforcing the law upon persons as young as fourteen. In the case of the fictional character Steve Harmon, from the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers, he is a sixteen year old being tried as an adult, pending the charge of felony murder. He is being defended by his lawyer Kathy O’Brien, and being prosecuted by Sandra Petrocelli, from the state of New York.

The funeral was on Tuesday. Only eighty-nine people showed up. A chunk of those people were his family, including his mom, dad and seven brother and sisters. I don't understand why no one came, I mean, he was well liked, or so I thought. I saw some guy in the back in a Guardian jacket. I couldn't help but think that he was only there to make sure Andy was really dead. The service itself was done beautifully. There was no mention of the Royals, or why he was murdered. I'd guess that's because it'd be too hard for his parents to hear straight out of his dangerous ways. They had no idea what he was involved in. He…

“Some things can be done as well as others”, the famous line of Sam Patch became a well-known saying amongst U.S. citizens especially Jeffersonian and Jacksonian democrats (Johnson, 163). Sam Patch was many things in his lifetime from a famous falls jumper to a destitute mill worker to also the first American-born boss spinner. He however was viewed different amongst social groups in America. The common folk and Jeffersonian democrats viewed Patch as a good man and somewhat of a folk hero, while the middle class and Hamiltonians viewed him as a drunkard and a sign of the decay of society in America. He was a product of the harsh system and arising textile industry in America at the time. Society and politics in America were changing from a Jeffersonian agrarian country where passing lands down from the father to his sons was dying to a Hamiltonian society where textile mills were seen as a source of opportunity for this new debtor generation amongst whom Sam Patch was one. The emergence of two classes the debtor wage-earning class and the creditor middle class brought about social and political tensions. Sam Patch illustrates these tensions such as the differing social and political views, growing gap in income levels, and the perception of nature.…
