Zodiac (2007) is a American Neo-noir mystery-thriller based on the real events of the Zodiac case. It is an excellent mixture of nerve-racking suspense and desperately obsessed police procedural work. Director David Fincher is famous for his interest in experimenting and exaggerating with mystery and anticipation in his films, and Zodiac successfully keeps viewers on the edge with its elusive and uncertain narrative. However, the plot of the film is not about the actual killer, but more of the…

(though it is on my binge watch list for spring break). I have, though, seen the two movies with Robert Downy Jr – which is what first interested me in this book. I love those movies, I don’t know if that is an unpopular opinion – but I think Robert Downey Jr nails it. Lock & Mori takes an entirely different view on a beloved classic. From what I can gather, no one knows anything about Moriarty – only what they know from Sherlock himself, so why not explore that a little? Lock & Mori is an…

Literature is an essential part of any classroom, because if gives the students many different options and abilities to learn about certain subjects, work on phonics and print awareness. In my pre-k class at Downey Elementary literature is used to inform students on important ideas and concepts about their own daily lives, and then teach students about vocabulary and things of interest. The teacher in my classroom uses books that are “based on the students interest” for read-aloud, and that…

by Maureen Downey. This essay is about how girls are required to wear certain things to school for the reason that certain things are “distracting”. How girls are kept from their education since they are sent home for the things they wear. The writer is trying to persuade the reader that girls shouldn’t be required to wear certain things because the boys can’t control themselves. The girls’ consequence is that they are sent home, which isn’t fair to keep them from their education. Downey also…

unbecoming of a United States Marine. In the middle of the night, Harold Dawson and Louden Downey, entered the barracks of William Santiago. Dawson and Downey issued a code red to Santiago, exacerbating a condition and causing him to die of Lactic Acidosis (A Few Good Men). Dawson and Downey were issued the code red by their commanding officer Nathan Jessup. Like all other marines indubitably, Dawson and Downey carried out their orders without fail. Many can argue that a marine’s job to stand up…

They do not identify themselves as logisticians, pilots, or infantry officers. They identify themselves as Marines–with a duty to abide by the code. Creating this single, shared identity prepares Dawson and Downey to have a tough mindset in dangerous situations, but it also turns them into agents of terror under the wrong commander when they obey the order to issue a “Code Red”. A real life experiment that shows how ordinary people can become agents of terror…

Throughout the movie, A Few Good Men, there is controversy about obedience to authority when two marines follow an order believed to be unethical. Privates Dawson and Downey, carry out a “code red”, or hazing, of another member of the unit, and were put on trial for the unintentional murder of Private Santiago. Stanley Milgram, Yale psychologist and author of “The Perils of Obedience” claims, “Some system of authority is a requirement of all communal living” (Milgram 78). Along with Milgram,…

The first scene is when Kaffey has his first meeting with Dawson and Downey. Kaffey asks both Dawson and Downey what happened and both concluded they were given an order to give Santiago a code red. A code red usually refers to the hazing a person by their unit for wrong doings. Santiago had wrote letters to get himself out of the unit and…

far before it becomes a very unhealthy action.Sadly that is exactly what Lance Cpl. Dawson and Pfc. Downey do in the movie A Few Good Men. Also this idea is what Stanley Milgram concludes in his famous shock experiment. In these two pieces, the actions of obeying authority and taking an oath, result in “death”. Therefore, the conclusions Milgram draws from his study can explain why Dawson and Downey brutally harm Pfc. William Santiago. However, Lance Cpl. Dawson’s previous actions of getting in…

The movie, A Few Good Men, is a portrayal of a military courtroom where Privet Dawson and Downey are on trial for killing a colleague, Private Santiago. Milgram wrote "The Perils of Obedience ", which describes his experiment where there is a teacher and leaner. The teacher, the actual subject, shocks the learner for every wrong answer. The volts of electricity start at 15 increasing to 450. Kelman and Hamilton wrote "My Lai Massacre" which recounts the trial and thoughts of Lieutenant Calley,…
