With that in mind, The Innocence Project is a very important resource to look into because it concerns the key elements of the meaning of justice. The program is…

the book where Scout as the narrator has a very educated writing style, the uses of “waked” instead of “woke” shows that she still has innocence. In the book, when she was a child she went through many adult-like events and learned a lot at a young age. The use of “woke” shows how even though she went through some serious events as a child, she still has innocence left in her. For my project, I created a board game that has a childlike feel to it. With the shades of blue, the cartoons, and the…

a fair process (Daly 2012, 397). The model is concerned with the accuracy and reliability of criminal processes and holds little faith in the accuracy of police and prosecution in the early stages of the CJS.

Rationale Orhan Pamuk’s novel The Museum of Innocence (2008) possesses the multimedial quality that is fascinating and inviting.

While Newland and Ellen profess their love for eachother multiple times, they still never act on their affair, trapped in the bubble of old New York during the 1870s. In Margaret Jay Jessee’s, “Trying it on: narration and masking in The Age of Innocence”, she talks about the opposites throughout the novel, arguing, “The novel creates a series of binaries between old and new, virgin and whore, and fair and dark”(2). The text clearly indicates this claim, through Wharton’s use of May and Ellen to…
