Dr. Quinn

Quinn states in (article) that the close connection theory is, “…it surely matters how close the connection is between that which is, strictly speaking, intended and the resulting foreseen harm. If the connection is close enough, then the doctrine should treat the harm as if it were strictly intended.” In other words, harm that is unintended is just as bad as intended harm if the connection between the outcome and the harm is close enough. To help explain this, H.L.A. Hart provides the example of someone striking a glass violently to hear the sound of the impact. After striking the glass multiple times, it will shatter. Hart states that the shattering of the glass is, “so immediately and invariably” connected to the impact on the glass that the shattering seems almost intended instead of…

“Ishmael”? I don’t think everyone would know that that’s the name of the main character in the story Moby Dick, do you? Well, the main Character in “Don’t Call Me ISHMAEL” has that exact name. The Author (Michael Gerard Bauer) uses humorous and light-hearted language to inform readers about bullying which is a very serious topic. Not all, but many teenagers can relate to this book's target (to understand the consequences of bullying). And that it’s a horrific thing to do to others and that there…

and even the author, are unclear. The protagonist, Daniel Quinn, embarks on solving a mystery for his unknown employer, but as the plot unfolds, he becomes increasingly unsure of his own identity. Thus, while Auster initially presents his novel as a work of mystery focused on the secrets of the Stillman family, his novel ultimately tackles the uncertainty of identity. Tim O’Brien similarly writes In the Lake of the Woods as a seemingly characteristic mystery novel that fundamentally addresses…

The book Ishmael is a fictional novel about a man who finds a gorilla that teaches him all about the world and how he views our society. In Chapter 9 of the book Ishmael, the narrator comes back to visit Ishmael, a gorilla who has been his teacher for the past couple days. Normally, Ishmael is behind a glass wall but this time he is outside, sprawled out of the floor. Since the beginning of the book, Ishmael has divided humans into two categories, Takers and Leavers.

To this, I say that Batman just never wants to stop being a hero, so he keeps the Joker alive. The same cannot be said, or written, about the Joker. The only reason the Joker becomes so obsessed with Batman is because he wants to make a point. The Clown Prince wants the Dark Knight to really kill him. He wants it this way because he wants the world to know that people are basically more chaotic than orderly, which makes people, or readers, wonder if this is actually true. Finally, the one…

Throughout my highschool years, I have reflected upon how I have grown as a global citizen and as an academic student. These reflections are usually based upon different projects I have completed in class or presentations that were assigned to me, but this year has allowed me to reflect on unique experiences. I have become more aware of the situations that happen in the real world; this has strengthened my skills for college and my future career, which shows my growth as an academic student.…

In order for the agriculturalists to expand and fulfill their Taker "destiny,” spreading the way of life they believed was right, they had to take land from the herders. This is represented in the story of Cain’s murder of Abel. From here the agricultural revolution took off, and the taker culture expanded, while the smaller leaver culture was almost forgotten, but did not die out. The use of the terms “leavers” and “takers” by Quinn, and his explanation of their historical split through these…

The term hubris is defined as excessive pride, or self-importance committed by a character that will eventually cause their downfall. There are two types of hubris that can be committed: knowing and unknowing. Although any form of hubris is seen as a terrible thing in a Greek tragedy, if an act of hubris is done unknowingly, it can ultimately be justifiable. In the the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex, by Sophocles, the character Jocasta commits several instances of hubris. In the end, her hubris, also…

Original Orgin Story In Batman: The Animated Series (est; 1992), Paul Dini, the creator of the now lovable Harley Quinn, decided Joker needed a more prominent henchman, or maybe even a henchwoman. The inspiration of the character came from one of Paul Dini's dear friend, Arleen Sorkin, in 'Days of Our Lives' where she dressed up in a jester costume and had the voice and look inspiration he needed to make Harley Quinn. When Harley's design was complete and ready to be put into Bruce Timm's…
