Defenders

Despite all the negative criticism, one main defender of the Hollywood studio system, and a predecessor of the auteur theory, Francis Truffaut, declared that an auteur, or author could be distinguished in many of the American Hollywood films. In terms of filmmaking, the auteur theory refers to the very…

closing arguments, this case represented another example of tricky incentives for the defense. Because the defense must argue both that the client is innocent, and that the heinousness of the crime is less than the prosecution implies, as Frank’s defenders had to do when they…

The most important part of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls was the biggest promise that Jeanette’s father made; the making of the glass castle. The glass castle was one of the many auspicious sounding promises that her father would never go through with. The glass castle was an overarching metaphor that Jeanette’s father’s hope of a wild, incredible life in which he could meet the needs of his children and make them pleased with him. He came up with amazing ideas, but was too unmotivated…

The attempted justification of the Crusades comes down to islamophobia and ethnocentrism at its core. Defenders of the Crusades such as Professor Rodney Stark argue that the religiously-fueled wars were justified because the Christian (specifically Catholic) people of the time were “provoked” by the Islamic world. The publisher of God’s Battalions: A Case For the Crusades, just one of over two dozen of Stark’s books, reiterates his belief of this incitement stating, “the Crusades were…

Babylon's blazing rise to power, like a rocket soaring high into the sky, was launched by its brilliant king, Hammurabi (1792-1750 B.C.). Bold and visionary, he conquered cities from the Nineveh region to the Persian Gulf, and then devised a code of laws to unify and rule the empire he created. The Babylonians believed that the gods bestowed justice and that kings were the gods' earthly agents. An inscription on a majestic, eight-foot-tall, black basalt stele (stone slab) that details…

However, he has changed to attacking tactics, having many options in the front while he is having problems with his defending structure. He brought three attacking players and one defender, he is using Antonio Valencia a right wing player in the right-back position while natural right-back Matteo Darmian is on the bench. Most managers intend on using their new signing right away, but Mourinho hasn 't given Henrikh Mkhitaryan enough…

Just like that, I passed out. As I woke up, there were four ambulances that were standing right outside of Ben's house. There were people all crowded around to see what had happened. People were screaming and yelling, begging for help. People are passed out on the floor. Policemen telling people to evacuate the site, and get back into their houses. And I feel motionless, just standing there, as if my nervous system had just decided to take a break. I'm just standing there praying, hoping he will…

Throughout my entire life, I have played basketball. Thinking back on it today, this is basically my first year I haven’t played basketball. Although I know this sport like I know how to tie my shoes, I’ve never really thought of it in any other way besides an activity that I love. My many years of playing influenced my decision to use this topic for my assignment, but also the big impact it had throughout the rest of my family. My grandpa had coached college basketball, and my mom played…

Caesar was ambitious."(Book 3, Act 2,line 86-87) With the word ambitious, Anthony shows the true nature of Caesar. As with the last word, it is used sarcasticly. By using it in this way, it displays how Caesar was not power hungry, he was instead a defender of the people.…

Strengths: Brandon Ingram is a pretty darn good shooter, perhaps one of the best in the NCAA. Ingram can stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting. His offensive game as a whole is enough to help a team at this moment. He can take defenders off the dribble to get to the rim and with his length it makes him even more dangerous. Speaking of length, Ingram has a wingspan of 7’3 and standing reach of 9’ “1.5” which makes his ability to defend the perimeter look very well and has the potential…
