    Slip or Trip Queenie Volupides killed her husband, Arthur Volupides. There are many different pieces of evidence found and used to prove she is guilty. The first is that she left the house to go to the party after having an argument with him; due to this argument Queenie would already have a motive to kill or exact revenge on Arthur. The next piece of evidence is that Arthur suffered damage to the head and there are pans in the kitchen.

    Both King and Socrates were outspoken men who stood by their beliefs despite others thoughts. While Socrates follows a strict guideline that under no circumstance is breaking laws okay; King has a slightly altered position stating, “One has not only legal but a moral responsibility to follow just laws,” he goes on, “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” When discussing the debate of just and unjust laws, King follows God’s standards, the “Natural Law. ”It would be erroneous to strictly base your standards on actual laws when laws are constantly changing. Furthermore, if laws are constantly changing, a person’s standards may change.…

    Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a poem that truly examines our own sinful nature and the way we use social codes to mask them. The poem takes us through a narrative of a knight that is viewed as honorable by his society, but through a series of tests and a complex challenge his deceitfulness is shown and he is forced to acknowledge it. The text could be seen as a highlight of Gawain’s morality, but his one fault of lying to Bertilak of Hautdesert proves otherwise. There is an overwhelming correlation to the way that the Green Knight exposes the faults of the knights code and the way Christ, in Christian tradition, finds fault in the law the Pharisees are obsessed with upholding. The Green Knight is a representation of Christ as the knight’s…

    During class, we discussed the Alchemist in various ways, such as in English, Spanish, a graphic novel as well as an audio recording. Usually I would read the book in English, but doing this allowed me to expand on my preferences and discover different methods or reading a novel and how it changes or doesn’t change the way I perceive the book. When I attempted to read the book along with hearing the audio version, I found myself reading faster than it and wanted to mute it out. Although the speed of the audio was slow, the different voices used for the Alchemist and the Old King were interesting and effective. If I were to ever hear the audio version, I would put my full focus on the reader’s voice and not read the book simultaneously.…
