have major health insurance as an adolescent, but it was always there if I needed it. This is also why these two cultures differ because if parents have a disabled child and not health insurance it puts more pressure on the parent. On a side note Holcomb states on pg. 244 “that Deaf individuals are not disabled at all.” Even with that being said children and adults who are Deaf or hard of hearing they still have resources out there to help them and most of them are free. “Despite the importance…

transfusion has been a common practice for decades, transfusion approach began to vary widely as transfusion medicine moved from whole blood transfusion to component therapy in order to better utilize this valuable and limited resource (Spinella & Holcomb, 2009). Research has shown disparate outcomes related to varying blood component (pRBC, plasma, and platelets) administration ratios (Cripps et al., 2013). Similarly, factors determining which patients are appropriate for massive transfusion…

(Hawley & Holcomb p.34). Aristarchus made various measurements using eclipses and formed a systemic model. This model would help later scientists to understand the true form of the solar system. Aristarchus formed the geocentric model, an early alternative to the later…

At the very beginning of the book, Capote describes the town of Holcomb as a very calm, untroubled and irrelevant town.

Capote uses this description in order to engage and prepare the reader using tension, “Until one morning in Mid-November of 1959, few Americans -- in fact few Kansans had ever heard of Holcomb”. This informs the reader of an event that is going to take place in the future…

Dick and Perry's lives in the Book, “In Cold Blood,” were portrayed as cold blooded murders in Holcomb. The murders they committed were lethal, brutal, and some may dare to say inhumane. The killing of the Clutter family is the main focus of the book, and although you clearly can justify the fact that Dick and Perry deserve to die for what they did, Truman Capote, the author of the book seems to think that the capital punishment should be stopped and was not necessary on behalf of the murders, I…

play a role in capital cases. Several studies find that cases with female victims are more likely to receive a death sentence than cases with male victims (Baumer, Messner, and Felson, (283); Gross and Mauro; Radelet and Pierce (7); Williams and Holcomb (209).

insights into the criminal mentality and the effects of violence on a small town. Surprisingly, the neighborhood most impacted by the killings is unknowingly left out. Although many town residents were upset about the attention, Capote's depiction of Holcomb and its people permanently altered the area. The author assumes that readers will understand the simplicity and everyday routines of the Clutter family. Capote builds suspense by contrasting their harmless pastimes with the disaster that is…

Holcomb, Williams, and Demuth believe that a “white female effect” in regards to victim gender and race creates a perpetuating disparity in homicide cases leading more often to the death penalty for defendants. The researchers (again) cite Kleck (1981) and…
