On the 8th of November I visited Oxford crown court; whilst I had previously attended various levels of courts to witness trials, I had never watched a sentencing. Therefore, intrigued to see the process, I decided to watch the sentencing of Tom Mobey. Immediately upon entering the courtroom I noticed a very different atmosphere to trial, one that was much more private and personal. There was a limited number of people in court: just the two opposing counsel, a clerk, the defendant and his…
worldly or rational anxious so that he could be relieved of them. This would result in the figurative ability to flight which has alluded throughout the book in the form of the flying trope. In the end, Milkman achieves the capacity for flight when “he leaped” and “surrendered to the air” (Morrison 337). Moreover, Milkman could fly just as Solomon did but it was never a literal flight.

One’s character is built throughout their entire life, carrying with us different experiences and ways of thinking. Malcolm Gladwell, in “The Power of Context,” emphasizes the theory that the roles of the environment can impact the decisions and behaviors of human beings. And this is shown in, Steven Johnson’s, “The Myth of the Ant Queens”…
In 1945, a squadron was on a training mission. The commander has used the same route many times, but this time things went wrong. Records say they flew through the Bermuda Triangle and vanished out of nowhere, never to be seen again (Kidsworld Magazine). The Bermuda Triangle has many mysterious stories along with myths as to what causes the strange disappearances. Though what is the Bermuda Triangle? What’s the science behind it? So many questions to be answered, yet not enough evidence. So in…
A study by Pat António Goldsmith found that eighth-grade black and Latino students are more likely than similar white students to have “high occupational expectations, educational aspirations, and concrete attitudes” (2004). This research also suggests that black and Latinos in segregated schools have great optimism about their future education, and have more positive attitudes about class and teachers, especially if the teachers are of minority background. Goldsmith notes that this results can…
