Collateral damage

(AGG) “Asymmetrical warfare is a euphemism for terrorism, just like collateral damage is a euphemism for killing innocent civilians.” a quote from Alan Dershowitz which connects directly to the novel. (BS-1) Similarly, an act of pragmatic collateral damage caused Najmah to lose and subsequently search out her family. (BS-2) This same empirical bombing prompts Najmah’s distrust of people. (BS-3) Finally, a practical bombing kills Faiz, creating lack of communication which causes Nusrat to agonize of what had actually happened. (TS) The author uses the real life topic of the United States have a major impact on the lives of civilians to create conflicts. [MIP 1] The author uses the common, real life event of a bombing, killing civilians, to create the conflict of Najmah attempting to find the last remnants of her family in war-torn Afghanistan. [SIP A] The US bombing that causes Najmah to lose her family is a very real event for many people in Afghanistan. [STEWE 1] Najmah had witnessed…

Callan may revoke his offer any time up until it has been unequivocally accepted by Esme provided this revocation is communicated to Esme, whether directly or indirectly. An offer which has been accepted may no longer be terminated. It would…

In Civil Law, negligence is an action done carelessly by the defendant which results in the plaintiff getting harmed. The four elements of negligence are: duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. The reasonable person standard applies to the defendant, so that the harmful situation can be fixed. The three elements of the reasonable person standard are: likelihood of the occurrence, seriousness of the harm, and the cost to eliminate the harm. The case of California v. Murray (The People of…

Freeman Wachholder Mrs. Scarbrough/Mr. Hunter Social Studies/Language Arts 16 December 2016 The Chicago Flood of 1992 April thirteenth, 1992. Busy, just like any other day in the Loop. But a series of highly unlikely mishaps would cause billions in damage that day. The events can be traced all the way back to 1899, when the Illinois Telephone and Telegraph company had permission to build tunnels for cables from city hall, but instead built seven-foot-wide railroad tunnels. These tunnels were…

definite statement of their damages in response to a Pittston motion to require their complaint to more particularly state the damages suffered by each of the plaintiff’s (Stern 94). In response to this, they sent Pittston each person’s statement of how what they remebered from the accident. This was in an attempt to, “turn this more definite statement into a compelling story of mental and emotional suffering, to begin providing details of psychic impairment and survival syndrome,” (Stern 94).…

Green Bad Faith The first grounds that Green challenges the punitive damages award on is whether bad faith is an appropriate basis for punitive damages. Courts have generally held that punitive damages are not allowed in breach of contract cases. Courts, though, have allowed punitive damages if there are independent injuries involved based upon in an independent tort. This standard appears to be met in Aldridge’s case. Aldridge may not rely upon breach of duty to justify for punitive…

The Superior Court erred in granting JNOV to Trimble…

“The instant he unlocked the door, they heard the water”. The urgency of Tyler mentioning the water running could be seen as symbol for all the problems Macon has bottled up in that house and the instant its opened it start to unravel. The first vocal reaction is then mentioned; Charles simple utters “Oh my God” which helps the reader to visualize the severity of the water damage. The living room is completely destroyed by the water, the ceiling was saturated, plaster covered the furniture, and…
