    West Of Memphis Summary

    • 955 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The documentary West of Memphis, directed by Amy J. Berg in 2012, is about the Murder of three eight-year-old boys.

Which is soon shown to allegations and not based off solid evidence. Growing up I was taught to be honest a helpful and obviously treat people with respect, but I was taught that the authorities should also have the same morals. By doing so it causes a rejected reading as I disagree with the actions of Assistant Prosecutor Fogelman, and Damien Echols as I cannot relate to either of them as Fogelman demonstrated self-interest at the expense of Justice and Damien Echols is active in such dark and shady activities which both go against my morals and beliefs. Throughout the documentary, the use of quick snippets and switching paces of scenes are used to build the case against the suspected killers of Damien, Jason, and Jessie. By using this compels the audience and makes them blinded and automatically come to a guilty conclusion causing the audience to be overwhelmed with images of the crime scene and the boys dismembered bodies. This is also used to show the timeline of events as time is moving so quickly throughout showing how long the West Memphis three have been sitting in jail after a biased trial causing them to spend the entirety of life behind bars.

    sources used to support the arguments and facts about the life of Bates. Continuing this trend, the analysis on her personal life and more so the in-depth analysis on her contributions to the movement especially her involvement in the NAACP make this source a strong contribution. One weakness of this novel is its lack of attention to other important players in Daisy Bates’s life, such as the Little Rock Nine. Both had drastic influences on each other, but this source pays little to no attention…

    Who Is Wal-Mart Stores?

    • 272 Words
    • 2 Pages

    It is interesting to hear how Wal-Mart stores began as I was not aware of the history of how the company had grown to the large retail and wholesale giant they are today.

Because they purchase enormous quantities of products for resale, the cost for the consumer is much lower; therefore, creating the competitive market advantage (Thomas & Maurice, 2010). Personally, I can’t think of many…
