Crime of passion

high ethical standards Saint Mary’s has for their professors and students inspired me to be a driven leader with the passion for serving others in healthcare. I would not be the person I am today if it was not for the high-quality education I received from my professors. I wish to gain admission into Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota Master of Arts program, so I can continue my passion for learning in a community of those who value leading ethical lives while empowering me with the skills…

In Bangkok, Thailand, I faced several prejudices mostly because I was poor. Back in my country, the families had to pay for their children’s education. So those that born into the families of doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, politician, and other high paying occupation get to go to the “fancy” school. Growing up in a family of single mom who sell insurance and second hand clothing for a living did not help me much in school. No money mean no future in Thailand. One cannot be successful in life…

As a child it was instilled in me by my parents that I would always have my education no matter what it took. It has been true to this day. I have been forever grateful for the opportunities that I have had as a child to young adult because of them. Although they have helped me tremendously, it would be nothing to them if I hadn’t put in the hard work and dedication that it takes in order to want to learn, excel and grow. I believe that I have done my job to show them why it is even worth it in…

the speaker in “Porphyria’s lover” is certainly not devoid of passion or emotion, he views the relationship to be empty of life, or dead. The evidence to support this claim comes from two occurrences. Firstly, the detail that he felt so strongly, and had such a fiery passion towards Porphyria. The poem is riddled with quotes that show his passion, but “Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss” (48) fully encompasses his extreme passion. At this point in the poem Porphyria is dead, and even after…

folly of human nature as a whole. Oftentimes, humans act extremely badly towards people who are convicted of crimes, even if they may not know the whole story. The soldiers immediately view him as a criminal, and a bad one at that, and automatically begin to talk down to him, and treat him poorly. And while Jesus was convicted of treason, which was and still is one of the most severe crimes one can commit, the soldiers felt an air of superiority around him because of his status as a criminal.…

the crime could be portrayed in a way that the audience could both understand and strive to analyze. By itself, the news of a highly disturbed man blinding six horses is straightforward and dark. Individuals who hear about this crime wonder what motivated the criminal, but they usually attribute the act to the criminal’s mental state and leave no room for trying to understand the circumstances revolving around the crime. As an author, Peter Shaffer was inspired by this grim and alarming crime…

If guns are legally taken away from victims then violent crimes would increase, because criminals would not have to fear being shot by someone protecting themselves. They could break into homes and feel confident that they will be safe in committing whatever crime they choose, whether it is rape, robbery, or murder. People should have the right to defend themselves, their families, and their property. Suicides and crimes of passion are easy to commit when a gun is readily available, is…

In the flash fiction piece “Older, Wiser, Time Traveler” by M. Bennardo, a character explains to another how to get away with a crime of passion by using time travel. As the story progresses, he reveals that he has committed a crime of passion and came here to kill his past self—the character he is speaking to—and take his place. While Bennardo uproots assumptions the reader makes in the beginning and the middle and the alternative style lends itself to this practice, the end contains too much…
