The Venona Project started in 1943 and lasted at least a decade. It was the CIA-National Security Agency of finding out secrets of the Soviet union. The messages did not provide any revolutionary evidence related to the Rosenberg case, however, they confirm Julius’ assistance in the Soviet spy ring. The misplacement of any of the references to the Ethel in the files say that she was not really involved in the ring’s activities.

    Additionally, Investigators used Williamson’s dream confession as an actual confession even though they did not have it conveniently recorded, despite having the means to do so. In this confession, he said he dreamt that he strangled and stabbed Debbie. Investigators found that this was not only not the cause of death but that the victim had not been stabbed nor strangled. This, also conveniently, was produced one day before the prosecution would have had to drop Fritz’s charges. Another inmate, female, claimed to have overheard Williamson speaking to his mother on the jail phone threatening to kill her as he did Debbie if she did not bring him cigarettes. The defense did not challenge this. They could have by proving where the female inmates were held compared to the single jail phone that Williamson supposedly used. They could have also tried to find a guard that overheard it as well to strengthen or refute the…

    There was evidence that wasn’t collected such as blood that Mrs Chamberlain offered to give to the police. Evidence such as their tents and belongings were moved to a motel on the first night, which could’ve caused contamination allowing the evidence to have alterations. Their tents and belongings were also not searched. In addition, the family was then allowed to leave in their car the following morning without it being explored allowing contamination with another piece of evidence. Furthermore, evidence that was discovered later on in the case such as Azaria’s jumpsuit was moved then picked up and was not placed as it was found which tampered with the evidence. Although the collection of evidence throughout this case demonstrated faults, the Jury still concluded to Mrs Chamberlain as a guilty woman, which led to her…

    The race to develop the atomic bomb had begun around the 1940's. World War II was still taking place, and its creation would change the game of war forever. Whoever could create it first would have the power to threaten to destroy entire regions and roll over their enemies. The information that was found during research was vital, and worth so much. Spies at the time were playing a very dangerous game because of the seriousness of the information they were giving away. A few were arrested and put in jail for years, one of them being Klaus Fuchs, a Russian spy who was arguably the most damaging during the development of the Atomic Bomb in Britain and the United States.…

    In the Homeric Epic, women are cast into one of two dichotomous roles: that of the wise and faithful or that of the foolish and disloyal. However in Atwood’s The Penelopiad these roles are deconstructed such that they become fluid as opposed to concrete—such that the women do not wholly occupy one role or the other but rather move on a balance beam between the two, sometimes leaning nearer to one lateral or the other but never resting on the end points of either side. In the unfettered world of The Penelopiad, woman are granted the voices that they are denied in The Odyssey; they are free to weave their own epic stories of cunning, captivity, danger, victory, and failure. The Penelopiad therefore gives rise to a “new” woman who is not bound by Homeric conventions that confine reader to a singular understanding of The Odyssey and its characters; rather Atwood unveils a myriad of possibilities, explanations, and motivations behind the events of The Odyssey as they are imagined by Homer. Our minds are opened to realities and potentials either unconsidered, or considered but immediately abandoned for lack of emphasis, by the readers. We are made to ponder what seem to be obscurities and minor inconsistencies in The Odyssey that upon deeper exploration and analysis serve to completely revolutionize the conventional reading of The Odyssey in terms of the female characters. Atwood accomplishes this impressive feat by exploring the “dark alleyways” that lead us to alternate, but plausible, conclusions as evidenced by the expressions of the muted cast of The Odyssey—Penelope and the twelve hanged maids.…

This quote is a perfect example of the reason why we code switch and how it impacts us as people. Code switching is an important part of everyone’s lives. The communities we interact with on an everyday basis have different expectations from us. We fill these interactions between groups with lingo and terms that are relatable and common with the community we belong in.…
