Johnny's Death Research Paper

Improved Essays
The Socials were not responsible for Johnny’s death. Johnny was a young boy, 16 years old to be exact. He lived a sad life at home with parents that really didn’t care about him. His family was a gang of Greasers who robbed stores, got into fights, and some of them had criminal records. Johnny died from a church fire. A piece of the roof fell on him, breaking his spine. How is that the Socials fault? It’s not because Johnny had a choice of going into the fire or not. If he would have never ran away with Pony, he wouldn’t have ever been at that church fire. He would not have killed Bob. None of this would ever happened. Before the fire, Dally told them not to go in. He specifically said “get back I here before I beat your head in!”If Johnny

    In the story Our America, we’re trying to answer the question, are Tyrone and Johnny responsible for Eric Morse’s death? There is no right answer to this question since based on one's personal opinion and definition of responsibility. The universal definition responsibility is ”the opportunity or ability to act independently and make decisions without authorization.” In my opinion regarding this scenario responsibility matters because it's the answer to whether Johnny and Tyrone are guilty or not. Johnny and Tyrone have many reasons to be held responsible for the murder of Eric Morse, but because of the terrible influences that come from their neighborhood and people not putting in enough time to teach them right from wrong; they tried to…

    Joseph C. Miller’s book, Way of Death, explores the complex economic relationships between the Atlantic and the Caribbean that sustained the slave trade. His writing projects a dismal view of the trade through economic lenses that sheds light on the experiences of slaves at the hands of buyers and sellers. The desire for profit, which fueled the slave trade eventually, placed priority on profits rather than the lives of slaves that were transported to sugar plantations in the Caribbean. The eyewitness reports of slavery complements Miller’s explanation for the high mortality rates of slaves on the Middle Passage by connecting the slave trader’s drive for profits to the slave keeping methods, especially the tight packing methods and the use…
