    Robert Williamson uses these studies to argue to the court that admitting my client’s past medical bills is giving the Defendant a pass on pain and suffering simply because the Plaintiff was treated by a doctor or hospital whose charges are less than those in other locales within the state or country. Our National Listserv Moderator and KBC Faculty member, Len Gabbay, agrees with Robert. Len encourages us to argue to the court that our client’s medical bills are not probative of any issue in the case since the cost of medical treatment is not an issue in the case. Len Gabbay warns that if the Defense subpoenas the bills, then we should file a motion to Quash the subpoena. According to Len, we must force the defense to articulate why the medicals…

    In the essay Hiding From Reality, the author, Bob Herbert, is trying to share his point of view on the current and future state of the American Dream with his American readers. Mainly due to the effects of the Great Recession, many Americans have given up hope that the American Dream is still alive today. Herbert wrote this piece to inform the people of their mistakes and motivate them to get this country back on track with acceptance and patience. One of the main points the author is trying to get across is overcoming denial. He emphasizes the fact that “we’re in denial about the extent of the rot in the system, and the effort that would be required to turn things around”.…

    Ideas surrounding utopias and dystopias are so popular because they are useful tools for authors to critique common ideals. Though an idea may have a perfect facade, one could find its flaws once it’s looked upon in depth. A perfect example of this is “Harrison Bergeron,” a story where all people have been made “equal” through the use of physical and mental handicaps. Fairness is a trending theme that is commonly seen in today’s society, but the author used satire as a way to convey that total equality is simply not achievable. George, an intelligent man in the story, “had a little mental handicap radio in his ear.…

    Contemporary writing is one of my favorite styles of writing as it is an approach that forces the reader to think critically about a topic as it questions everything about our culture, values, and various forms of art. One contemporary piece that especially intrigued me while studying this period was “America” written by Tony Hoagland due to the simple yet powerful questions that it raises about American life. It is an interesting commentary on how American society has begun to put money ahead of everything yet this lifestyle does not yield happiness and in fact has incarcerated us within a materialistic culture. It initially begins as what appears to be a punk-rock type teenager with a tongue ring complaining to his teacher about how America…
