Bullet

a picture of a bullet and a cigarette compared to each other. The reality is that cigarettes are just as deadly as bullets from a gun, but one prolongs longer than the other. When I analyze this ad at first, I see that the overall composition is audience, purpose, and prominent element, and focal point. The audience is those who might be contemplating trying cigarettes and its purpose is to inform that death will come sooner rather than later, when one smokes. I notice the bullet as the first…

On November 22, 1963 horrific news shocked the nation: President John F. Kennedy had been shot. However, the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald just an hour later settled some nerves, and more so, he was murdered by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner just two days later. The newly sworn in President, Lyndon B. Johnson, issued the Warren Commission, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone in murdering the President, however, the majority of Americans today do not believe that finding.…

the shot to his death, and that the bullet was found intact. It was not Roy Brown who shot down the Red Baron. But it was in fact the Australian machine gunner, Sgt. Cedric Popkin. After the body of Richthofen was recovered and autopsy was performed. The conclusion of this autopsy showed that “the round that killed von Richthofen had entered the right side of his chest “about the level of the ninth rib...just in front of the posterior axillary line. The bullet appears to have passed obliquely…

The odd thing is that the warren county commission said one bullet shot from a 6th floor of a warehouse passed through the lower back of the president then somehow made its way through his throat then into governor Connelly’s side. Breaking his ribs and puncturing his lung then traveled out of his body and grazed his hand and went into his leg. The multiple shooter theory could account for this because it is nearly impossible for one bullet to do that much damage and to have that much momentum…

The poem “Range-Finding” was written in 1916 by Robert Frost. This poem talks about a battle which by the date one can assume he is talking about World War 1. This poem is about a bullet being shot which hits a person in the chest but focuses on the story behind it and all the many creatures that are affected by the war that is taking place around them. The theme of this poem is war effects all people and creature regardless of if they are directly involved with the war. Robert Frost shows the…

The idea of the weapon was that once it made contact, the bullet would flatten out. This would cause bones to break easier. On the edges, there were spiral grooves that went around the bullet, in turn; the barrel of the gun had grooves on it’s inside to make the bullet spin. This made the bullet faster, but more difficult to load. Having gunpowder residue collect inside the barrel made it harder to load the more it was used. Also, the bullet wasn’t called the Minie Ball because it was small. The…

the bullet that assassinated President James Garfield in 1881. The metal detector was also very important in finding sunken ships, gold, and money and many more discoveries. Using electromagnetic induction, the metal detector was able to evolve over the years. Alexander Bell, had created one to help locate bullets in soldiers and later one in the President James Garfield, a man named Gerald Fisher improved upon it years later. Alexander Bell had created a metal detector to help find bullets in…

loss of blood. The bullet would’ve hit the lower part of his rib cage, it would’ve shattered his ribs and throw them towards tissue, possibly hitting his kidney which is a very serious injury, but surgeons during the Civil War didn’t have x-ray machines yet so they couldn’t tell where the bullet was, so they would just have to check around the entrance wound and dig around for the bullet. They would’ve given him an anesthetic drug like Opium, Ether, or Chloroform to deal…

The Mutter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia stated that during the Civil War the soldiers that got killed or wounded by a bullet got amputated or removed the bullet then the bandaged the wound. If soldiers were wounded in the chest or abdomen by bullets, there organs were damaged, and doctors wouldn’t treat them. The doctors wouldn’t treat them because they knew that they would get infection and later die. Most soldiers that were treated…

(Fisher, 2008). Consequently both sides contradicted each other. The ultimate question was whether or not the bullet recovered from one of the guards, was fired from the weapon recovered from Nicola Sacco (Fisher, 2008). One of the challenges faced by the prosecution was that the bullet recovered from the guard was no longer produced and the only comparison to be made was from the bullets taken out of Sacco’s pockets after his arrest (Owen, 2009). The firing test was conducted using the…
