law, states use force in anticipatory self-defense in order to avoid impending attacks. The established doctrine arises from an incident known as the Caroline incident. In 1837, the United States and the Great Britain were at peace and Canada was under British occupation rule, Canadians were engaged in an armed rebellion against the British. The Caroline, a privately-owned American steamship owned and operated by Americans, was used to transport men and provides across the Niagara River to…
It is satirical that a new, young teacher such as Miss Caroline believes that she should be the only educational influence in these children’s lives, so much so that she tells one of her students not to be taught at home. When Scout first shows the signs of the possibility of being semi-literate a “faint line [appears] between her eyebrows…” after more testing it was made known that Scout was literate and the teacher looked at her with “…more than faint distaste.” Scout, the daughter of a…
“True contentment comes with empathy” (Tom Finn). Without empathy, today’s society would be unduly cruel. Empathy relieves many from redundant judgement, and often provides a deeper understanding of one’s unique challenges. In Harper Lee’s, To KIll a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch tells his daughter Scout that “You never really understand a man until you consider things from his point of view… —until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (39). Throughout Lee’s captivating novel, one…
By casting Hortense Moore as the "preceptress" who (re)constructs Caroline to fit into her prescribed role as quintessential Victorian heroine, Bronti's text critiques the female subject's complicity in a system that both marginalizes and contains her. Early in the narrative, Caroline clearly resists Hortense's rules of feminine conduct, openly criticizing the French poetry she is made to memorize (96) and refusing to sew quietly while Robert reads Shakespeare aloud (115). Caroline's resistance…
I liked the play because it gave a good description on the murder of Amyas Crale. The play described how Caroline Crale had murdered her husband by the coniine that was put in his beer. The coniine is extracted from the hemlock plant. The hemlock is the same plant that killed Socrates. When Amyas Crale drank the poison, he started to have cramps and pains as he slowly died. Crale complained that the beer tasted foul. As he painted Elsa Geer, his hands started to ache as the poison was going…
many times that the private good, is turned into public good; and public good seen as private good. A moment in the novel when the public good and private good are in conflict is when Miss Caroline offers Walter a quarter for lunch not knowing his situation. Most people knew of his situation, but Miss Caroline thought that he would be able to pay her back. This causes Scout to say, “The Cunninghams never took anything…
Elizabeth, the female creature and Caroline, who are used and defined by the men in their lives. The women of the novel are consistently used to antagonize other male characters and further the plot, such as Justine’s execution was necessary to antagonize Victor and make the creature appear more monstrous in nature, Caroline’s role as the mother of Victor,…
defence. However, Member States of the United Nations have attempted to read into Article 51 stating that it seems to violate customary law with regard to self/collective defense understood on the Caroline test - that pre-emption is not in and of itself a violation of the law of force. It is argued that the Caroline Test is a misreading of what Section 51 allows, for the Charter only permits self – defense after the occurrence of an armed attack. Two schools of thought have developed on this…
One morning I was on my way too work and I had seen and greeted my first grade teacher “Miss. Caroline Fisher”. “Do you remember me you were my first grade teacher?” I had asked, she exclaimed “Of course I do you were my first grade student the one I had called up to read in front of the class.” She then started asking me what I was doing I life and I had responded that I was a book publisher. Miss. Caroline Fisher had exclaimed that she was very happy that I had a job as a book publisher. I…
it allows me to understand the character in more depth. For example, Caroline says in her head, “What will become of her?” (Edwards, 95). Caroline would never actually say this in a conversation, so if her thoughts were not revealed I would not know that she worried this much about Phoebe. When the Caroline asks herself questions like this, I feel the like the question is something that I should be asking myself as well. Caroline is not…
