But someone who commits suicide does not consider that, he or she just wants the painful memories to fade away. The truth is, that the memories never fade away, they stay…

A jury consists of 12 members of the public chosen to determine what they believe is the truth in a trail. The jury system is not an adequate means for the legal system to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused person. The film, “12 Angry Men” exemplifies why a jury system is simply unfair to the jurors and defendant in multiple ways. It shows the jurors’ frustration towards the disturbance of their personal schedules, their level of concern for the case, and how their opinions are…

Dangers of being Certain Though doubt has always held a negative connotation in my mind, a dark shadow that looms over certainty, truth, and progress, John Patrick Shanley, through his film, not only claims but makes us feel quite the opposite: that doubt is in fact a valuable asset in gaining an objective view when determining “good” from “bad” and discovering the truth. Stanley utilises the two main characters in his film to depict the dangers of acting upon certainty without doubt. I will…

cumulative, building suspense as it moves along, similar to how a Santa Ana would gain momentum the bigger it grows. Further in, the author inserts the short simple sentences “the baby frets. The maid sulks” (Didion 1) and as a result conveys an absolute truth that can not be refuted, whereas her alternate sentences lengthen to further elaborate on the statement made with the simple sentences such as “To live with the Santa Ana is to accept..” (Didion 1).
