Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is a book written in 1845 about the time period directly following the French Revolution. As is the case with most literature‚ Les Miserables includes character archetypes. In Les Miserables‚ the characters Cosette and Jean Valjean are both character archetypes.

Her mother‚ Fantine‚ was forced to abandon her as she needed a job and couldn’t take Cosette with her‚ who was an infant at the time. She

Emily Loving A2 Archetypes in Matilda The movie‚ Matilda‚ is the story of a dark family comedy. Matilda takes on the role of an exaggerated version of a realistic childhood; in which adults are grumpy and mean for no reason‚ parents and teachers don’t understand them‚ and children actually have more to offer than what adults see in them.

A recent criminal Supreme Court case that I find to be interesting is Missouri v. Frye. Actus reus is a guilty act‚ mens rea is a guilty mind‚ and concurrence is the equality of rights. Both actus reus and mens rea are both needed in order for a defendant to prove criminal liability. This case was about a guy named Frye‚ he was arrested for driving with a revoked license. Frye was previously arrested a few times before this incident dealing with the same crime. Missouri state law can give you a maximum
